Party & Social Hot Tubs
Built for social soaking — hot tubs and spa pools designed around groups, where conversation flows and everyone stays comfortable. If you want a tub that's the centrepiece of the garden for entertaining, start here. Our social range seats 6 to 12 people, from £5,299.
What makes a hot tub "social"
-
Open, conversational seating — more upright seats facing in, rather than lounger-heavy layouts
-
High capacity — 6 to 12 seats, so the whole group fits
-
Strong filtration and power that hold up when the tub is busy
-
Atmosphere — lighting and features that suit a crowd
The range — 6 to 12 seats
From the 6-seat Social Spa 6 (£6,995) and the value 7-seat Orb Party 7 and Equinox 7 (£5,299), up to our spa pools — the 9-seat Party Pool 9 and the 12-seat Party Pool 12 (£12,999). The spa pools are deeper and more open than a standard hot tub, with room to stand and move — built for serious entertaining.
Party / social vs family
Family hot tubs are built around 5–7 seats with a lounger or two, for relaxed evenings between a few people — see Family Hot Tubs. Social tubs here prioritise open seating and capacity for groups. The bigger models (Party Pool 9 and 12) are spa pools, which need a properly engineered base and careful delivery access — our full Party & Social Hot Tubs guide covers the spa-pool decision, base, delivery and running costs in detail.
Party & social hot tub FAQs
How many people do party hot tubs seat?
The social tubs in this collection seat 6 to 12 people. The largest — the Party Pool 9 and Party Pool 12 — are open spa pools built for big groups; the 6 and 7-seaters suit households who entertain.
What's the difference between a hot tub and a spa pool?
A standard hot tub has fixed, contoured seats and is relatively shallow. A spa pool (like our Party Pool 9 and 12) is deeper and more open, with room to stand and move — better for big groups. The trade-off is more water to heat, more weight, and a more involved installation.
How much do party and social hot tubs cost?
In this collection, from £5,299 for a 7-seat social tub up to £12,999 for a 9 or 12-seat spa pool. Budget separately for a base, delivery and (on hardwired models) an electrician.
Do big hot tubs need special installation?
The largest spa pools need a properly engineered, load-bearing base (often reinforced concrete), a wide delivery route — sometimes crane access — and a hardwired electrical supply. Confirm base and access before ordering; our buyer's guide explains what's involved.
