From inflatable drinks holders to LED lights, these are surefire ways to make your tub more fun and practical.
The trusty hot tub is notorious for creating a relaxing and rejuvenating experience (and for providing an ideal way to cool down in the blazing sun), but do you have all the right hot tub accessories to take your comfort level up a notch?
Whether you're hosting friends or winding down with a glass of bubbly, there are plenty of hot tub accessories for every hot tub occasion. A few fun accessories to get your hands on include inflatable drinks holders, underwater disco lights, padded pillows, canopies to shield you from the summer sun, and floating side trays — ideal for grazing on nibbles as you relax.
If you're looking for more than one accessory, B&Q is selling this handy hot tub accessory multi-pack featuring two drinks holders and four headrests. We also love this personalised hot tub sign for creating a warm welcome in the garden. Meanwhile, a worthwhile investment is this rattan spa surround from Wayfair, which enables you to store and organise all your hot tub accessories within arm's reach.
Don't forget, some hot tub accessories are only compatible with specific hot tub brands, so be sure to check before you purchase. We'd also recommend starting off by buying a hot tub starter chemical kit to ensure you're fully set up.
