The best hot tub accessories for comfort, convenience and ambiance

There are moments when everything is perfect. The water is warm, the air fresh, the company pleasant, and then there you are, in your own hot tub, with a smile as broad as the view. But as you immerse yourself in relaxation, you might wonder: could it get any better than this? Yes, it can. Because with the right accessories, you can get even more enjoyment, convenience, and comfort from your hot tub.

In this blog, we'll guide you through the finest accessories to complete your hot tub experience. From clever ambiance enhancers to practical helpers – each one selected to make your time in the warm water even more enjoyable.

And let's be honest: if you have a hot tub anyway, why not make the most of it?

Hot tub accessories that create atmosphere

Let's start with the basics: ambiance. Because what's an evening in your hot tub without a pleasant atmosphere?

Hot tub lighting for the right atmosphere
Subtle LED lighting underwater or integrated into the rim of your hot tub makes a world of difference. Not only does it look stunning in the dark, but it also adds that extra touch of luxury you're subconsciously looking for. Some lights are even color-adjustable, allowing you to choose from soothing blue, warm orange, or romantic red.

Wood storage: beautiful and practical
Do you fire your hot tub yourself with wood? Then a stylish wood storage unit next to your hot tub is not only practical but also a real eye-catcher in your garden. No more messing around with loose logs – everything is neatly stored in one place, ready to use.

Mood enhancers: from drink holders to pillows
A good glass of wine, a soft pillow for your neck, and perhaps a Bluetooth speaker in the background... With the right accessories, you can transform your hot tub into a luxurious spa in your own backyard. Small additions make a big difference.

Hot tub accessories for more comfort

Once you sink into warm water, you naturally want only one thing: to stay comfortable. That's why there are a few accessories that ensure comfort without any fuss.

Thermodeck: retains heat
A good thermal deck keeps the water warm for longer, saving time and wood. It also prevents leaves and rainwater from entering your pool. So you don't have to worry about maintenance when the pool isn't being used.

Steps: easy and safe access to the hot tub
Perhaps not the most glamorous accessory, but certainly one of the most comfortable. A sturdy, well-placed step ensures comfortable entry and exit, without slipping or fumbling.

Pillows: support where you need it
It's the details that make the difference. A soft pillow will keep you sitting even longer. Choose one that's water and sun resistant, and you'll enjoy it for years to come.

Hot tub accessories for ease of use

Let's be honest: you use your hot tub to relax, not to constantly refill, clean, or lug around equipment. Fortunately, there are accessories that make it easier.

Filter systems for clear water
A good filter system keeps the water cleaner for longer. This is certainly essential if you use your hot tub regularly. The water looks fresher, smells better, and feels more pleasant on your skin.

Ash collection tray: cleaner combustion
Do you use a wood-fired hot tub? Then you're familiar with the ash that accumulates at the bottom. A drip tray makes it easy to remove without having to empty the entire tub. Convenient and clean.

Thermometer: always the right temperature
No more dipping a wet toe in the water to guess how warm it is. With a stylish thermometer, you'll know exactly when the water is at the right temperature. And for the true enthusiast, there are even floating versions in the shape of a duck. It's all a matter of taste.

Hot tub accessories for every season

Your hot tub isn't just for summer evenings. With the right accessories, you can use it all year round – yes, even in the dead of winter.

Insulating sleeve or cover
Winter can get quite chilly outside. An insulated cover or a tight-fitting lid will keep the heat inside your hot tub, so you can enjoy a comfortable soak even on cold days.

Windshield or canopy
You don't have to chase a strong breeze or rain shower indoors. A windbreak or small canopy provides shelter and privacy, allowing you to enjoy your hot tub even in less favorable weather.

Hot tub right after skiing? Why not?
Did you know that many people also use their hot tub to warm up after exercising? Especially in winter, it's wonderful to step into the warm water with cold feet. And with a few atmospheric lights, you'll instantly capture that cozy, winter feeling.

Hot tub accessories that make the difference

Some accessories are just for fun. Not strictly necessary, but they make things a little more fun. And sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for.

Floating games
For those who want to have fun with children or friends, there are games specifically designed for the water. Think dice games, cards, or even small floating tables with space for drinks and snacks.

Scent experience
There are natural fragrance tablets or oils specifically formulated for use in a hot tub. No artificial perfumes, just subtle scents like lavender, eucalyptus, or pine. These transform your tub into a private spa.

Extended chimney
Not exactly a festive gift, but nice if you want more control over the smoke direction. Handy if the wind shifts frequently or you have neighbors who don't appreciate a cloud of wood chips.
