There are few things more relaxing than sinking into a hot tub or outdoor spa after a long day at work – with a glass of Champagne, of course, for that extra touch of extravagance.

Spas can work as an addition to a pool or as an outdoor feature in their own right. While barrel-shaped hot tubs are usually featured on their own. Both styles can be small enough to add to a deck or interior bathroom, and come in a range of shapes and sizes. Be inspired by how these Aussie homeowners incorporate a little bit of luxury into their surrounds.

The built-in rooftop hot tub and deck not only look stunning, but offer an amazing view of Sydney Harbour and the Opera House. The warm tones of the timber paired with the blue of the harbour work beautifully together.

This pool spa design just oozes contemporary simplicity. The curved, semicircle design and neutral tones of the paving soften the luxurious design, making it sleek, yet inviting.

A dark blue tile was selected for the interior of this pool spa. The dark tile choice makes the water a deep blue by day and reflects the sky as the sun sets. One of the best times to enjoy a spa would have to be during an Australian sunset.

This outdoor area seamlessly integrates the deck with the pool, spa and architectural planter. With the range of designs on offer, pool spas can be easily incorporated into an overall outdoor scheme.
