Hot tub party ideas

We love the social side of Lay-Z-Spa, and what's best is that a hot tub party can take place any time of the year. Who would turn down the opportunity to be invited round to a hot tub party?

Staying is the new going out, and with a hot tub as the star of the show, you can host some pretty memorable parties. While you make a mental note of your favourite friends, check out tips for the perfect hot tub party

It’s all about the lighting

What’s a party without lights to add a little atmosphere? Well, we offer a selection of clever LED lights to illuminate the water and create an ambience. The Floating LED Light is suitable for any hot tub, and our Underwater LED Light fits into all Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs. If you really want to impress, get a hot tub with integrated lights.

Is music a must?

Music for a hot tub party

Unlike a pool party, music isn’t essential for a hot tub party, but it is down to personal preference. Music can set the right mood and create a chilled-out ambience. Here at Lay-Z-Spa, we like something a bit more relaxing and chilled out whilst in the hot tub, but that doesn't stop you from creating your own hot tub party playlist.

Hot tub party glassware

You'll want to serve drinks for your hot tub party. And to do so, ensure you have the most suitable and safe glassware for use in a hot tub - you don't want any mishaps from that one clumsy person. From tumblers to champagne flutes, we have a range of hot-tub safe glassess perfect for any occasion. As an alternative to alcohol, we have curated a selection of Lay-Z-Spa mocktails that you can sit back and enjoy with friends, family and little ones.

Keep the drinks safe and in reach

Be ready for any weather

As with any party, it’s important to plan for any weather. If you have a sheltered space like a gazebo, this is ideal, especially if it has a roof. If you don't, the portable protective Dome will help to protect your guests (and your Lay-Z-Spa) from the elements. In fact, the warm water will ensure that they’re relaxed and cosy no matter the season, so say goodbye to washout barbeques on summer days – and hello to all-weather hot tub catch-ups!

Manage chemicals well in advance

The last thing you want is to have to cancel your party plans because the water is unsuitable. This is why hot tub party preparation is key. At least a day before, test your water and make any necessary adjustments and change your filter. Then, if necessary, give your hot a clean so that it is all fresh and in top condition for your guests. You'll likely need to change your filter the next day and test the water again.
