Luxury Hot Tubs

Electric outdoor hot tubs are powered by an integrated heater and control system, allowing precise temperature adjustment and simple, push-button operation. Wood-fired models use a log-burning stove to heat the water naturally, offering a more traditional and atmospheric bathing experience without reliance on electricity. Hybrid hot tubs combine both systems – giving you the choice between fast, convenient heating or the slower, ritualistic warmth of wood fire. Each option delivers the same handcrafted quality and thermal insulation, so your choice depends on how you like to heat and enjoy your spa.

Running costs vary depending on size, insulation, usage, and water temperature, but well-insulated outdoor hot tubs are surprisingly efficient. High-quality models with polyurethane insulation and insulated covers retain heat effectively, reducing electricity use. In typical UK conditions, energy-efficient electric hot tubs typically cost £1–£2 per day when maintained at a steady temperature. Wood-fired or hybrid models can cost less to run, using renewable fuel instead of electricity. Regular maintenance also helps minimise heat loss and ongoing costs.

Yes. Finnish-designed luxury hot tubs are engineered for extreme Nordic conditions, where temperatures regularly drop below freezing. Their reinforced shells, weather-sealed frames, and high-density insulation are built to retain heat efficiently and protect components from moisture and frost. This level of engineering makes them perfectly suited to the variable UK climate, performing just as well through cold winters as they do in mild, rainy seasons. 

Maintaining an outdoor hot tub is straightforward with regular care. Filters should be rinsed weekly and replaced periodically, while the water is usually changed every few months depending on usage. UV or cartridge filtration systems simplify cleaning by keeping water clear and fresh. Surfaces can be wiped with non-abrasive spa cleaners to preserve the shell’s finish, and the cover should be kept on when not in use to prevent heat loss or debris build-up. Regular chemical balancing (or manufacturer-approved alternatives) ensures safe, hygienic bathing all year round.

Yes – luxury hot tubs are built to deliver lasting performance, comfort, and style that justify their higher price point. They use higher-quality materials, stronger insulation, and more reliable components than standard spas, resulting in lower running costs and longer lifespans. The difference lies in the attention to design and engineering detail – from efficient heating systems to carefully moulded interiors that enhance comfort and relaxation. Beyond their build quality, a well-chosen hot tub becomes a lasting addition to your home, adding value, wellness benefits, and a genuine sense of escape for years to come.

Absolutely. Combining a sauna and luxury hot tub creates a complete home wellness experience inspired by Nordic tradition. The contrast between heat and cool – moving from the warmth of a sauna to a refreshing outdoor shower or plunge – invigorates the body and boosts circulation. Finishing with a soak in your hot tub allows muscles to relax deeply and the mind to unwind. This sequence promotes recovery, improves sleep, and encourages calm. Finnmark designs and supplies both authentic outdoor saunas and premium hot tubs, helping you create a seamless, restorative wellness space at home.
