Hot tubs are the ultimate escape – a spa retreat in your own garden. If you’re thinking about buying one, you may be wondering: how many people can fit in a hot tub?
The answer to this depends on several factors, including the size of the hot tub, layout of the seating and your comfort preferences. In this blog, we will break it down so you can get a better idea of how many guests can comfortably soak together in your new tub!
Hot Tub Size Categories
Hot tubs come in a wide range of sizes, from compact models designed for a couple of people to large units that can fit entire families and group of friends. Here’s a breakdown of the common sizes:
2-3 Person Hot Tubs
These hot tubs are usually the smallest option available and are ideal for couples or those who want a more intimate experience. They tend to have a compact design with three seats arranged closely together, so if you want to fully relax and recline, it may be best to stick to a two person limit.
4-5 Person Hot Tubs
Mid-size hot tubs are a popular option for families or small groups of friends. With 4 to 5 seats, there is a good balance of space and if you have small children, you may even be able to fit 6 or more people in a 4-5 person tub – although it might be a bit of a squeeze! Our Cayman 5 Person Hot Tub, for example, can fit 5 comfortably, with possible room for a sixth if they don’t mind sitting across a lounger.
6-7 Person Hot Tubs
These slightly larger models are great for larger families or groups of friends. With this size, you have enough space for everyone to relax without things feeling too cramped. As with other hot tub sizes, guests can sit across the loungers to accommodate more people. For example, our Tahiti 6 Seater Luxury Hot Tub seats 6, but there is easily room for a seventh person to fit in if they sit across the lounger seats.
8+ Person Hot Tubs
If you have a large group of friends or family to accommodate, an 8+ person hot tub is the way to go. These tubs are often the largest models available and tend to have special additional features like extra jets, waterfall features and even smart TVs – like our huge Grand Bahama 10 Person Tub! So, if you’re planning hosting a hot tub party with a large number of guests, check out tubs for 8 or more people – you definitely won’t be disappointed!
Don’t forget when squeezing extra people into a hot tub that hot tubs have weight limits. An average sizes tub tends to have a weight limit of around 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, so keep that and the water level in mind when cramming your hot tub full of friends – the last thing you want is for your tub to overflow or become damaged.
Remember, the perfect hot tub isn’t just about fitting in as many people as possible – it’s about creating the ultimate relaxing and comfortable environment.
