Want to make your hot tub blend seamlessly into your landscaping, ensure that it’s easy to access and create a luxurious, resort-like feel? A hot tub deck can do all that.
If you’re looking for inspiration for your hot tub deck, you’re in the right place. Read on to see five beautiful hot tub deck ideas you can use to upgrade your backyard:
- Add some stairs.
- Use exotic hardwood.
- Use stone.
- Incorporate a privacy fence.
- Add a bench.
1. Add Some Stairs
If you’re tired of clambering in and out of your hot tub, a set of spa steps can help. If you want your deck to be fully integrated with your landscaping and decor, though, consider building a hot tub deck with stairs going right up to the top of your spa.
A deck like this won’t just make it easier for you to get in and out of the hot tub, but it will also add a pleasing visual element to your backyard, as well as an extra seating area.

2. Use Exotic Hardwood
There’s a reason that pressure-treated pine decks are so common: they’re sturdy, inexpensive and resist rot and insects.
That being said, hot tub owners who want something more unique and eye-catching should think about using exotic hardwood instead.
With their extraordinary colors, superior hardness and opulent appearance, exotic hardwoods are more expensive than other types of wood for a reason.
Popular types of exotic hardwoods include mahogany (such as the Fijian mahogany shown above), ipe (also called Brazilian walnut) and teak.
3. Use Stone
Whether you’re going for a look that’s cozy and rustic or ultra-modern, some beautiful stone can help you achieve it.
To get a distinctive stone look, you could construct a stone deck for your hot tub to sit on.
Or, if you want a uniform all-around look, you could even build a hot tub surround to completely encase your spa in stone.
You don’t have to go with heavy, expensive natural stone, either (though it is certainly gorgeous). You can also choose to use inexpensive and realistic-looking faux stone, instead.
4. Incorporate a Privacy Fence
There’s no need to build a separate privacy fence when you have a hot tub deck with one built right in.
Although separate privacy fences and screens can look fantastic, a deck with a built-in fence will serve to create a cohesive aesthetic you’ll love to look at.
For a more open look, try a slatted fence. Or, if you’d like to enjoy total privacy, try a solid fence like the one pictured above.
5. Add a Bench
For a hot tub deck that’s as functional and convenient as it is beautiful, try installing a built-in bench.
In addition to offering a nearby seating area, a bench will also serve as the perfect place to store dry towels, clothes, drinks, snacks and anything else you might need during your hot tub session.
When it comes to hot tub decks, the possibilities are only limited to your imagination. With these stunning ideas, you have all the inspiration you need to start designing a resort-worthy deck.
