As the air gets crisper and the evenings draw in, it’s tempting to stay indoors and hibernate. But if you own a hot tub, the changing season can become something to savour!
In fact, autumn and winter is one of the best times of year to enjoy a hot tub. With cooler temperatures, colourful views, and misty mornings, your garden becomes a peaceful environment, and your hot tub becomes the warm, inviting centre of it all, at least that’s what we think!
Here’s why the colder months are the perfect time to soak.
1. Stay Warm and Cosy Outdoors
There’s something very relaxing about stepping into steaming hot water while cool air surrounds you. In the autumn, the contrast between warm water and crisp air makes your soak even more satisfying.
Whether it’s after a walk through the leaves or a long workday, your hot tub becomes your go-to for warmth and comfort, without having to turn up the heating indoors.
2. Soothe Aches as the Weather Shifts
As temperatures drop, many of us start to feel the familiar aches, tight muscles or stiff joints. Whether it’s from working out in the garden, moving a bit less, or just colder air affecting your circulation, the solution is simple: hydrotherapy.
Hot tubs offer natural relief through warm water and powerful jets that:
- Improve blood flow
- Ease tension
- Reduce inflammation
Support recovery after workouts or chilly walks
3. Boost Your Mood Through the Darker Months
Shorter days and less sunlight can start to impact how we feel. A regular soak in your hot tub can offer a natural boost for your mood, helping to combat seasonal sluggishness and stress.
Whether it’s 20 minutes in the morning to start your day, or a soak at night to wind down, hot tubs offer a quiet moment for reflection, connection, and calm.
3. Boost Your Mood Through the Darker Months
Getting rid of your hot tub’s green water isn’t as difficult as you might think. However, there are some things that you should be aware of.
One of these things is that the earlier you can get rid of the green water, the better.
If your hot tub has had green water for a while then this can make it harder to get rid of it, although there are still some methods that you can use.
4. Enjoy Your Garden Longer Into the Year
Don’t pack away your outdoor space just yet. With a hot tub, your garden becomes a place to enjoy well into the colder season. Autumn leaves, chilly air, and golden sunsets all look better from a warm tub.
Make it cosy with:
- Fairy lights or lanterns
- Blankets and outdoor seating
- Warm drinks in hand
…and turn your patio into your ideal at-home spa.
5. Ideal for Autumn Gatherings and Celebrations
Whether it’s a Halloween hangout, Bonfire Night chill session, or a cosy date night, a hot tub adds a little something extra to your autumn evenings.
Plus, with fewer mid-year distractions, now’s the time to really make the most of your investment, before the winter rush begins. Order your hot tub now with a deposit and lock your price! – You can explore our range here.
