Inflatable hot tubs allow you to unwind and relax at your own home. The best thing about them is that you just need a big enough space to use them—no need to spend a ton of cash for planning and construction of fixed hot tubs. In addition, they can also be stored easily whenever they are not in use. With that said, here’s our list of the top inflatable hot tubs that you can buy from popular brands such as Coleman, Bestway and Intex.
Best Inflatable Hot Tub Comparison Chart
Coleman Bahamas
Best budget inflatable hot tub.
The Coleman Bahamas AirJet Inflatable Hot Tub is ideal for people on a budget. It can hold up to 177 gallons of water and it can fit up to four adults. Its standout feature is its affordable pricing. At less than $500, you can enjoy a nice relaxing hot tub dip at the comfort of your own home.
Features-wise, the Coleman Bahamas is quite packed despite its entry-level pricing. It features 120 AirJets that pump warm air into the water to create bubbles for a relaxing bubble massage. The hot tub is made with DuraPlus material for durability and there are plenty of other features that include a power saving timer, Freeze Shield (automatic heating), a digital control panel and more. If you’re on a budget, the Coleman Bahamas AirJet is definitely the best option.
Coleman SaluSpa Hawaii
Best 2-4 person inflatable hot tub.
For those that want to enjoy their hot tub time with family and/or friends, the Coleman SaluSpa Hawaii is a good option. It can fit up to four adults and with its square shape, it offers more interior space than rounded hot tubs. This means more leg room for better relaxation.
The Coleman SaluSpa Hawaii comes with 114 AirJets to pump out bubbles for a calming hot tub dip. Measuring 71 x 26 x 26 inches, it can hold up to 222 gallons of water and as mentioned above, it provides more than enough space for up to four adults. One of the standout features of the Coleman SaluSpa Hawaii, aside from its square design, is its TriTech 3-ply inflated walls for durability and stability. It will retain its shape no matter how many times it is inflated and deflated. It also has a power saving timer, digital controls and all the standard features that you get with most inflatable hot tubs.
Intex PureSpa Greywood Deluxe
Best 6-person inflatable hot tub.
Equipped with 170 high-powered jets, the Intex PureSpa Greywood Deluxe can provide a relaxing hot tub time for up to six people with plenty of room to spare. Constructed with Fiber-Tech materials, the hot tub is quite durable and it will retain its shape even when used on a daily basis. Its faux greywood exterior is also nice to look at.
Filling up the Intex PureSpa Greywood Deluxe hot tub takes around 20 minutes, but one downside is that it’s quite slow to heat up. However, that’s expected with a tub of this size. It measures 85 x 25 inches by the way. One thing that stands out with this hot tub is its multi-colored LED lights that add a relaxing ambience during a night time dip. You also get two headrests for better relaxation when used with your significant other. Other accessories included are the following: a carry bag, cover, two filters, blower, heater, inflation hose, chlorine dispenser and a test strip.
Bestway SaluSpa Helsinki
Best 7-person inflatable hot tub.
The Bestway SaluSpa Helsinki is our pick for anyone looking for an inflatable hot tub that can seat up to seven adults. The hot tub features a rapid heating system, which is more than welcome for a tub this size, cushioned flooring for better comfort, a massaging air jet system, ChemConnect dispenser and an integrated water filtration.
The hot tub also comes with a cover with aluminum foil coating to keep the water warm when not in use. With its easy to use digital controller, you can set the temperature up to 72 hours in advance, and these two features make life easier. You don’t have to wait for the hot tub to heat up and you can just jump in whenever you feel like.
Verdict
There are a bunch of options for people looking to get their own inflatable hot tub.
If you’re on a budget, the Coleman Bahamas is our recommendation since it offers a good mix of features and pricing. You’ll get all the essential features in a hot tub without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money. For those looking to get a 4-person hot tub, you can get either the Coleman Bahamas or the square shape Coleman SaluSpa Hawaii. These two are quite similar in features but the square shape of the latter is more ideal for groups of four since it offers more interior space.
For those that want a higher capacity inflatable hot tub, the Intex PureSpa Greywood Deluxe and the Bestway SaluSpa Helsinki are nice options. The Intex PureSpa Greywood Deluxe is a 6-seater with ambient LED lights while the Bestway SaluSpa Helsinki is a 7-seater with a luxurious design and rapid heating system.
