For those who want to go big or go home, extra large hot tubs or a swim spa is a backyard must-have.

Huge spas aren’t just luxurious, though — if you’re planning on soaking with a large group of friends or family, they can also be a smart investment.

If you have a large backyard or extended family, you might want to go with an extra large hot tub.

What can be more fun than inviting over all your friends and family to your home for a dip in your swim spa or a late-night soak in your hot tub?

Of course, many people choose not to use their hot tubs for groups of people at all—they just enjoy having them for relaxing in alone or with their partner.

If this is your situation, then you get the best of both worlds by having a huge hot tub when you want to have everyone come over or room to spread out even if it’s just two people.



Berkshire Large Hot Tub

You might be wondering, “How much space do I have to have?”

Well before purchasing any kind of spa, there’s some important information that needs consideration: The size of the hot tub you want!

You need to measure your space and make sure you have the room for the hot tub you’re wanting.

We suggest your concrete pad be at least one foot wider on all sides than your hot tub.

You don’t want to find out on delivery day that your spa is not going to fit. Also, consider how you’re going to get your hot tub in place.

Does it have to come through a fence or a gate? Are you going to use a crane to drop your spa in place?

There’s a lot of hot tub dimensions to consider, but in the end, what’s most important is all the fun and memories that you’re going to make!

Here are the five reasons why a bigger hot tub is better than a small one:

  1. More Room to Relax: A larger spa has more room for you and your family to stretch out and relax in comfort.
  2. Improved Aesthetics: A bigger spa can add a touch of luxury to any home and can be a statement piece of your backyard! Spas create an inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for entertaining guests.
  3. Enhanced Comfort Features: A bigger model spa often comes with additional comfort features such as upgraded pillows, cushioned headrests, and foot massagers that allow you to truly indulge yourself in relaxation.
  4. More Advanced Technology: Many of the latest models come with advanced technology such as Wi-Fi connectivity and audio systems, allowing you to take your entertainment experience to new levels. Your spa will make all your neighbors jealous!
  5. Variety of Seating Configurations: Larger spas give you a variety of seating configurations, from lounge chairs to bench seats, giving you the best possible spa experience every time you use it.

Here, we’ll cover three of the most popular large hot tubs and swim spas that we offer. As you’ll soon see, sometimes the best things don’t come in small packages.
