Warm-Weather Retreat: Why Hot Tubs Aren’t Just for Winter

When you think of a hot tub, winter scenes might come to mind—steaming water on a frosty evening. But the truth is, hot tubs are just as enjoyable (and beneficial) during the summer months. With a few simple tweaks, your spa can become the perfect warm-weather retreat.

1. Enjoy Cool Soaks on Hot Days
You don’t have to sit in scalding water during a heatwave. Lowering your hot tub temperature to around 32–35°C turns it into a luxurious, refreshing soak. Some people even chill the water slightly more to create a spa-like plunge pool for daytime use.

2. Morning Dips & Evening Wind-Downs
Start your day with a morning soak to wake up your muscles and boost circulation. Or wind down with a peaceful evening dip under the stars. The calming effect of warm water paired with a cool summer breeze is the perfect way to relax after a busy day.

3. Muscle Recovery After Summer Activities
Whether you’ve been swimming, cycling, hiking or gardening, warm water therapy can ease muscle tension and help with recovery. A 20-minute soak can reduce soreness and support better sleep—no matter the season.

4. Keep It Fresh with Summer Accessories
Hot tub care in summer is easy with the right products. A lightweight summer hot tub cover keeps out leaves and debris while making access quick and easy. Consider switching to chlorine alternatives or UV water purifiers to reduce chemical smells and skin irritation, especially with increased use.

5. Make It Your Summer Sanctuary
Add string lights, an outdoor rug, a couple of comfy loungers, and maybe even a drinks tray or waterproof speaker. Suddenly your hot tub isn’t just for winter—it’s the centrepiece of your summer garden.
