Choosing the Right Hot Tub Size for Your Space: A Complete Utah Buyer’s Guide
Buying a hot tub is an exciting decision—but before you choose your perfect spa, one of the most important factors to consider is size. From small two-person tubs to large party-ready spas, the right size will depend on your available space, lifestyle, and budget. At Spa Depot of Utah, we help homeowners across the state—from Salt Lake City to St. George—find the perfect hot tub for their homes, cabins, and vacation properties.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to relax with your partner or a spacious tub for family gatherings, this guide will walk you through how to choose the right hot tub size for your space.
Step 1: Measure Your Space
Before you start browsing, measure the area where your hot tub will be installed.
-
Outdoor Installation: Consider patio or deck size, clearance for steps and covers, and whether you’ll need extra space for landscaping or furniture.
-
Indoor Installation: Make sure doorways, hallways, and stairways can accommodate delivery.
-
Utah Climate Tip: In colder regions like Park City or Logan, allow room for insulated spa covers and weather-protection accessories.
Pro Tip: Bring your measurements to our showroom so our team can help you match your space to the perfect model.
Step 2: Consider How Many People Will Use the Hot Tub
Hot tubs are often described by the number of people they can seat.
-
2–3 Person Spas: Perfect for couples or small patios.
-
4–5 Person Spas: A versatile choice for families or small gatherings.
-
6–8 Person Spas: Ideal for entertaining or large households.
At Spa Depot of Utah, you can shop hot tubs by size to find the right fit without guessing.
Step 3: Think About Your Lifestyle and Use
-
Relaxation & Hydrotherapy: If your primary goal is relaxation or relief from sore muscles, focus on jet placement and seating comfort.
-
Entertaining Guests: Choose a larger tub with varied seating to accommodate different body types.
-
Cold-Weather Soaking: Look for energy-efficient insulation and covers to handle Utah winters.
Step 4: Factor in Installation & Maintenance
The bigger the hot tub, the more water it will hold—meaning a larger heater, more chemicals, and potentially higher electricity usage. Our team can walk you through the total cost of ownership so there are no surprises.
Step 5: See It in Person
Photos online can only tell you so much. Sitting in a hot tub before you buy helps you feel the seat depth, jet pressure, and layout.
