Creating a Spa Experience At Home
With Hot Tub Hire Essex, you can transform your garden into a serene, spa-like retreat without ever leaving your home. Whether you’re in Chelmsford, Brentwood, Benfleet, Upminster, Dagenham, or any of the areas we serve, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for your hot tub hire is easier than you might think.

Here are some tips to help you create the perfect spa-like experience right in your own garden.
- Set the Scene with Lighting: Lighting can make a big difference in creating a soothing atmosphere. Use fairy lights or string lights around your garden to add a warm, inviting glow. Our hot tubs come equipped with inbuilt LED lights, which can also be adjusted to create the perfect mood. Consider placing candles (flameless for safety) or lanterns around the area for additional soft lighting that enhances the spa-like feel.
- Add Some Greenery: Plants and flowers can help you create a calming, natural environment. Place some potted plants or hanging baskets around the hot tub to add a touch of greenery. If possible, choose aromatic plants such as lavender, which adds both a beautiful visual element and a relaxing scent to the setting. Plants not only look beautiful, but they can also make your space feel more secluded and peaceful.
- Use Soft Furnishings for Comfort: Adding soft furnishings like outdoor cushions, rugs, and even a few blankets can create a cosy and luxurious atmosphere. Place a rug or some cushioned mats near the hot tub for a comfortable area where you and your guests can relax before or after soaking. Consider providing extra towels and robes for added comfort, allowing everyone to dry off and stay warm after using the hot tub.
- Play Relaxing Music: Music is key to setting a spa-like ambiance. Use a portable speaker or sound system to play soft, calming music—something with gentle instrumentals or nature sounds works well for creating a relaxing environment. The right music can help you fully relax and enjoy your time in the hot tub, turning it into a true spa experience.
- Create Privacy: Privacy is an important part of feeling relaxed and comfortable in your hot tub. Consider using a gazebo, pergola, or even some outdoor screens to create a secluded area for your hot tub. You can also use tall plants or bamboo screens to create natural partitions, which not only provide privacy but also add to the tranquil, spa-like feel.

- Add Aromatherapy: Scent is a powerful element of relaxation, and adding aromatherapy can help enhance your hot tub experience. Use essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or chamomile to create a soothing atmosphere. Place a few drops of oil in an outdoor diffuser or on cotton pads placed around the area. However, avoid adding essential oils directly to the hot tub water, as they can affect the water quality and damage the filtration system.
- Use Soft Lighting in the Hot Tub: The hot tubs from Hot Tub Hire Essex come with inbuilt mood lighting, which allows you to change the colour to fit your preference. You can set the lights to a soft, relaxing blue or a warm amber glow to create the ultimate spa atmosphere while you soak.
- Prepare Refreshments: Having refreshments ready can make your spa-like experience even more luxurious. Prepare a tray of refreshing drinks, such as fruit-infused water, herbal teas, or even some bubbly for special occasions. Make sure to use plastic glasses for safety around the hot tub.
Creating a spa-like atmosphere at home is all about the little touches that make you feel comfortable and relaxed. With some thoughtful lighting, music, greenery, and a few extra comforts, you can easily transform your garden into a personal retreat.
