When finding the ideal getaway for your UK summer break, there are many factors to consider. Once you’ve picked your perfect location, arranged activities and set a budget, it’s the finer details you’ll want to consider, to ensure the most memorable experience.
One of the most popular add-ons for UK holidays are hot tubs. Depending on your chosen accommodation – whether this be a caravan, lodge, or somewhere else to rest your head – opting for a hot tub holiday could take your trip to a whole new level.
Read on to discover everything you need to know about hot tub holidays, so you can decide if they’re right for you.
Who can go on a hot tub holiday?
Most holiday parks that offer hot tubs, also provide a pet-friendly option. Despite this, your four-legged friends won’t be allowed in the hot tub with you for health and safety reasons.
Anyone can enjoy the hot tub on your holiday, although you mustn’t exceed the number of people it’s designed for at one time, and it’s not recommended for young children who cannot keep their head above the water.
However, the wonderful thing about hot tub holidays is that they cater to everyone, offering an incredible way to connect with nature and enjoy your surroundings, come rain or shine.
Best hot tub locations
Picking whereabouts in the UK to enjoy your hot tub break is crucial, depending on what time of day you’re more likely to use the tub, and whether it’s situated with any good views. You might decide you want to see the sea, or at least be in walking distance to your nearest sandy beach. Luckily, there are plenty of beaches all around the UK – with over 300 in Cornwall alone.
There are also beautiful national parks, like Snowdonia in North Wales, as well as areas of outstanding beauty, where you might find your hot tub looks over sweeping fields and rolling hills.
The best location is really down to you!
The positives
Alongside bringing your pet and picking your perfect location, there are plenty of other benefits that come with hot tub holidays.
You could stargaze from the warmth of your tub, or have a laugh with your family and friends. You could even opt for a relaxing romantic hot tub holiday, where the luxury accommodation and breath-taking views are sure to add a spark.
Members of staff will also check your water twice a day to keep it safe and hygienic, and you’ll receive guidance on how to maintain your hot tub for the optimal experience.
Other advantages of hot tub holidays include:
- Available all year round
You can enjoy a steaming hot tub surrounded by rainfall, or soak under the sun – watching the seasons change from the comfort of the bubbling water. It’s not recommended to use the tub during a thunderstorm, though.
- You can pick the temperature
With all types of hot tub, you can cool it down or warm it up, so the temperature of the water suits you.
- Relaxes your muscles
Not only do the warm bubbles relax your muscles, but it can also improve your circulation and help with arthritis.
- Can help ease stress and anxiety
If you’re someone who normally struggles to relax due to stress or anxiety, then a hot tub holiday is definitely for you, as it’s proven to help ease them both.
- Is a good way to socialise
A hot tub holiday is the perfect way to spend quality time with your loved ones – giving you the ideal space to bond and socialise.
