Vacation Aura

The Vacation Aura by Platinum Spas features hidden main controls secured behind a lockable cabinet, giving owners full control over key settings such as water temperature and filter cycles.

This setup prevents guests from changing critical functions, while still allowing them to operate the pump and LED lighting with ease. Ideal for holiday lets, the Vacation Aura hot tub offers peace of mind and a smooth experience for both hosts and guests.

The Vacation Aura by Platinum Spas is equipped with a reliable Balboa TP500 control system, securely housed within a lockable cabinet to prevent tampering with key settings such as temperature and filtration cycles.

For ease of use, guests can operate the hot tub through the user-friendly Balboa AX40 control panel mounted on the top side, which allows access only to the pump ON/OFF and light ON/OFF functions.

Are you looking to increase bookings and boost income from your holiday let in North Wales? Adding a hot tub is one of the most effective ways to make your property more desirable, helping it stand out on booking platforms and attract guests all year round.

1. Hot Tubs Are Among the Most Searched-For Features

According to the Sykes Staycation Index 2025, hot tubs are consistently in the top five most searched-for amenities. Guests specifically filter for holiday homes with hot tubs, meaning properties with this feature are more likely to receive bookings—especially for short breaks and romantic getaways.

2. Stand Out in North Wales’ Competitive Holiday Let Market

North Wales continues to be one of the UK’s top staycation destinations, with Gwynedd, Anglesey, and Conwy seeing significant increases in demand. A hot tub helps your property stand out in this competitive landscape and can make all the difference between a browsing guest and a confirmed booking.

💡 Top Tip: If your cottage is located near walking trails, beaches, or scenic spots like Snowdonia, highlight the joy of relaxing in a hot tub after a day exploring North Wales’ natural beauty.

3. Earn More Per Stay

Holidaymakers are spending more on UK getaways—£1,292 on average in 2025, up from £1,070 in 2024 (Sykes Staycation Index 2025). Properties with hot tubs can command higher nightly rates and often achieve greater occupancy year-round, helping maximise your return on investment.

4. Broaden Your Guest Appeal

A hot tub enhances your property’s appeal to a wide range of guests, including:

• Couples seeking romantic retreats

• Families looking for a fun and relaxing feature

• Pet owners—especially with nearly 30% of bookings including dogs (Sykes Index)

A soak in the hot tub is a welcome treat after long walks across Snowdonia National Park, the Llyn Peninsula, or the North Wales coast.

5. Extend Your Booking Season

Unlike some seasonal features, a hot tub offers year-round enjoyment! From cosy winter weekends to summer escapes, a hot tub helps fill your calendar during off-peak months as well as high season.
