Buy your ideal hot tub?
The complete guide to extraordinary wellness at home
Relaxation, muscle recovery and pure luxury in your own environment
Imagine coming home to your own garden after an intensive workday or a tough workout. You slide off the cover of the jacuzzi, lower yourself into the warm water, and immediately feel how the powerful massage jets knead away all the built-up tension from your neck, shoulders, and back. Having your own spa is much more than a luxury item. It is a daily moment of peace, a place for targeted pain relief, and the ideal location for quality time with your partner or family, far away from ringing phones and screens.
At Luxor Spas, we see daily how the addition of wellness at home improves the quality of life for our customers. Of course, we understand that buying a hot tub is a significant step. You want to be sure that you choose good quality, excellent insulation, and a model that perfectly suits your body and family. With over thirty years of experience in advising, supplying, and maintaining sustainable wellness products throughout Belgium, we will guide you step by step through all the questions involved in purchasing the hot tub that is right for you.
What should I pay attention to when buying a jacuzzi?
Making a well-considered choice starts with the basics. There is an enormous range available on the market and the quality differences are significant.
The first thing to pay attention to is comfort and ergonomics. Every body is different, and a seating or lying position that feels fantastic for one person may not provide the right support for another. Therefore, trying out a spa is definitely recommended.
Additionally, the level of insulation is a significant factor. Cheap models lose heat quickly, resulting in a sky-high energy bill. Sustainable brands often use multiple layers of insulation around the tub and the piping, which greatly reduces heating costs.
Pay close attention to the type and placement of the jets. More jets does not necessarily mean a better massage. It is about the power of the pumps and whether the jets are anatomically correctly positioned on the main muscle groups.
Finally, we recommend looking into the water purification system. A good filtration system, possibly supported by ozone or UV-C technology, saves you a considerable amount of maintenance time each week and ensures that the water remains crystal clear with a minimum of chemicals.
What is the best outdoor jacuzzi?
The changeable Belgian climate imposes specific requirements on an outdoor pool. When customers ask us for advice on buying an outdoor jacuzzi, we always emphasise the importance of robust, weather-resistant materials. The best outdoor jacuzzi features a thick acrylic shell that is resistant to UV radiation and temperature fluctuations, combined with a strong, maintenance-free exterior cladding. A thick, well-fitting cover is also essential to keep rainwater out and retain heat inside.
The location of your jacuzzi in the garden is also important. If you place the model close to the house, you will use it more often during the winter months than if you have to walk twenty metres over a freezing cold lawn first. Also, think carefully about privacy and wind protection. By cleverly using planting, a canopy, or a louvered roof, you can create a sheltered corner where you can relax in peace, regardless of what the weather decides to do.
Installing a jacuzzi in the garden, what are the costs?
The total costs of your wellness project consist not only of the purchase price but also of the costs of the preparatory work and the final installation. According to current industry data from platforms, the prices for a quality fixed bath range somewhere between €5,000 and €20,000, heavily dependent on the brand, dimensions, and onboard technologies.
In addition to the purchase, you need to consider the foundation and the electrical connection of the device. A filled hot tub with several adults quickly weighs around 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms. Therefore, a sturdy, level foundation made of concrete or extra reinforced tiles is necessary. Installing the foundation and placing a suitable power cable (usually a separate fuse of 16 A or 32 A in the fuse box, depending on the power) typically incurs additional costs ranging from 500 to 2,000 euros.
We understand that this kind of technical preparation can seem overwhelming. That’s why Luxor Spas offers guidance from A to Z. You will receive a practical manual with all the information needed for proper preparation and a list of addresses where you can go for the installation of the foundation and electrical cable.
Buy a luxury 2-person spa for indoors or outdoors
Not everyone has the need or the space for a large spa with five or six seats. For couples, empty nesters, or people with a city garden, a compact hot tub is often a much more logical choice. If you are specifically considering buying a jacuzzi for two people, you will soon discover that you do not have to make any compromises when it comes to luxury. On the contrary, the luxurious two-person jacuzzis are designed to create an intimate, relaxing atmosphere, with each seating area optimised for maximum comfort. Because the water volume in these compact models is lower, the water heats up faster and the energy costs are lower. Moreover, these models often fit easily into smaller spaces, through narrow gates, and are extremely suitable for indoor installation, provided the space is well-ventilated to keep humidity under control.
Best hot tub for 2 people with powerful jets
A common misconception is that more compact baths are less powerful. The best two-person spas on the market are actually true powerhouses in the field of hydrotherapy. Often, these models are equipped with two lounges, allowing both individuals to be massaged from head to toe simultaneously without getting in each other's way. For athletes looking to recover quickly after a workout, or for people suffering from chronic back, neck, or joint issues, a targeted, deep tissue massage is essential. In these medically designed jacuzzis, you can precisely adjust the strength of the jets for each seat. This way, one person can enjoy a gentle, pulsing flow around the shoulders, while the other opts for a firm massage on the lower back and calves. Our extensive selection of sustainable brands offers specific models that seamlessly combine these powerful therapeutic benefits with a compact size.
Can a jacuzzi be placed on a balcony or rooftop terrace?
This is a question that we receive very regularly from residents in urban areas or people with a penthouse. The short answer is: yes, that is certainly possible, but thorough preparation is crucial.
The main point of concern is the load-bearing capacity of the structure. To give you an idea: one litre of water weighs exactly one kilogram. An average compact jacuzzi filled with water and people quickly weighs around 1,100 kilograms. Standard balconies are usually designed for a load of about 250 kg per square metre, which means they are not strong enough for a filled spa without modifications. You often need a structure that can support 500 kg per square metre or more.
Engaging a structural engineer or architect to calculate the floor load is therefore mandatory. Additionally, you must consider the supply of water as well as the drainage when changing it. Hoisting the unit to a rooftop terrace is, by the way, no problem for us; we collaborate with experienced crane companies that carry this out safely and efficiently.
What is the annual maintenance cost of a luxury jacuzzi?
We value transparency. In addition to the purchase price, you have to deal with annual recurring costs for electricity, water, and water treatment products.
Based on industry averages (also confirmed by similar players in the market), you can expect the estimated annual costs below for a well-insulated sustainable spa for 3 to 5 people, assuming normal use of about three times a week.
Item | Average cost per year |
Electricity with good insulation | 400 € - 500 € |
Maintenance products (filters - water treatment) | 350 € - 450 € |
Change water (3 to 4 times a year) | 10 € - 20 € |
Estimated total | 760 € - 920 € |
We strongly emphasise the word 'sustainable' here. Cheap alternatives from the DIY store may seem attractive to purchase, but due to poor insulation and inefficient pumps, electricity costs can sometimes double or triple. By investing in a quality brand, you will more than recoup that price difference over the average expected lifespan of the jacuzzi.
Reliable company for maintenance and repair of spas
Even the very best product requires regular maintenance to remain in top condition. Over the years, a jet may wear out, a pump may need replacing, or you may want to give the hot tub a deep clean before winter sets in. The major frustration for many consumers who purchase their jacuzzi through online shops is the lack of after-sales service when an unexpected problem arises. A good relationship with your supplier does not end after installation.
Luxor Spas has its own dedicated team of experienced technicians and keeps the most common spare parts in stock. Whether it's resolving an error message, replacing a component, or providing advice on water treatment: we are here for you. This not only guarantees a longer lifespan for your investment, but also gives you the peace of mind that you will never literally be left out in the cold.
Where can I buy a quality jacuzzi nearby?
Purchasing a massage bath is a very personal choice that you preferably should not make from a screen. When you search online for 'buying a jacuzzi nearby', you hope to find a wellness expert who takes the time for you, gives honest advice, and where you can actually experience the device. After all, you wouldn't buy a car without having sat in it first. In our extensive showroom, we offer you the opportunity to calmly feel the different configurations, the ergonomics of the seats, and the quality of the materials.
After an initial conversation, we will come to your home if necessary to assess the situation in your garden and advise on the best location and installation. And although we are strongly rooted regionally with our physical location, our service does not stop there. Luxor Spas delivers, installs, and maintains our equipment throughout Belgium.
