5-6 person spa dimensions
Neither the smallest nor the largest spa pools available, the Hot Spring 5-6 person range is the perfect size for anyone who wants to balance comfort, cost-effectiveness, intimacy and the ability to entertain.
Dimensions vary from spa to spa, but as a general rule 5-6 person spas measure between 2.15 and 2.36m in length and width, and between 84cm and 97cm in height. Any smaller will see you enter 4-person territory, and larger sizes are considered suitable for 7+ people.
Benefits of a 5-6 person spa vs smaller spas?
A 5-6 person spa pool will be the obvious choice for many, but other buyers will ask themselves whether the added investment compared to a 2-4 person spa is worth it. Only you know whether choosing a medium-sized spa pool over a more compact version makes sense. It depends on your situation, but going larger brings some clear advantages:
- More room means more comfort, particularly for anyone undertaking hydrotherapy, or households that are likely to have multiple people soaking at once.
- The more the merrier! Larger spa pools are far better for socialising.
Best 5-6 person spa placement
Where will you place your 5-6 person spa pool? As fully portable and self-contained machines, Hot Spring spa pools can be placed almost anywhere with enough room and an even, stable surface. The most common option is an outdoor spa pool, which can be placed on pavers, concrete, decking or even a sturdy balcony. Indoor spa pools can be installed in a well ventilated sunroom or enclosed outdoor area. With a bit of excavation you even have the option of installing your Hot Spring as an inground spa pool, which can make it a truly organic addition to your home, while making entry and exit that little bit easier.
Hot Spring's range of 5-6 person spa pools offer you the ultimate flexibility in terms of placement. All you need is enough room, a level surface that is capable of taking the weight, access to the necessary water and power, and the ability to drain your spa.

Muscle
Warm water helps to reduce both tension and inflammation in your muscles.
Joints
With buoyancy counteracting gravity, a soak in a 5-6 person spa pool can offer real relief to sufferers of chronic pain.
