Hot Tubs Ireland, Premium Spas from Elite Spa Gardens

Hot tubs in Ireland have quietly gone from an occasional luxury to something a lot of homeowners are seriously planning for, and Elite Spa Gardens has spent years helping people find the right one for their garden, budget and household. Our range runs from cosy two-person tubs to sociable six-seaters, with prices starting at €7,150 including VAT.

This year brings a big change for us. Elite Spa Gardens is now the only official distributor of Aquavia Spa hot tubs in Ireland, so our long-standing ESG range sits alongside a full European collection built by a manufacturer working since 1988.

Why Aquavia Spa Matters

If you have not come across the brand before, here is the short version. Aquavia Spa has been designing and building hot tubs and swim spas since 1988, all of it at its own production site in Cervera, Lleida, in Spain. The brand has been recognised at the UK Pool and Spa Awards in 2018 and 2020, took gold at the EUSA awards in 2021 and 2022, and holds a WhatSpa? Best Buy award. Every hot tub in the range carries a 15-year warranty on the structure, 10 years on the acrylic, and 2 years on components. For something that is going to sit in an Irish garden through a fair few winters, that is a warranty worth having.

As the Irish distributor, we can bring the full Aquavia hot tub range to Irish homes, across the Exclusive Line, Premium Line, Aurora Line, Aqualife Line, City Line, Built-in Line, Cold Plunge Line, Infinity Line, Steel Line and Tiled Line. Models seat from two to eight people, in square, round and rectangular shapes, with both indoor and outdoor installations covered.

A Closer Look at the Aquavia Range

A few of the models to know about:

Essence Hot Tub. Five positions at 216 x 216 x 90cm with 65 jets, the highest jet count in this group.

Serenity Hot Tub. Also five positions, larger at 256 x 256 x 77cm, with 56 jets.

Feel Hot Tub. Five positions which include two ergonomic loungers and three deep seats.

Touch 5 Pro Hot Tub. Five positions at 216 x 216 cm x 74cm with 56 hydrotherapy jets and Aquavia Spa’s Blue Wave System massage technology, providing a relaxing experience for its users.

Touch Pro Hot Tub. Three positions at 216 x 166 x 74 cm with 42 powerful hydrotherapy jets.

That is a handful out of a much larger catalogue. Get in touch, and we will talk through which model suits your space, rather than guessing from a brochure.

Our Own ESG Range

We have not dropped our existing hot tubs. Having two ranges side by side just makes it easier to find the right fit. A few of our regulars:

Hot Tub ESG-520. One of our best sellers. Five person, three upright seats and two loungers, 45 jets, Bluetooth sound and LED lighting. Good for families who want the whole group in at once.

Hot Tub ESG-430. Seats up to four, with two loungers, two upright seats and 50 jets aimed at tired shoulders and lower backs.

Hot Tub ESG-210. A two-to-three-person model at 2160 x 1650 x 820mm with 24 jets across two seats and a lounger, a dark midnight opal shell, and foam insulation with a foil backed skirt to help keep running costs down.

Hot Tub ESG-115B. A cosy two-to-three-person tub, compact enough for a smaller patio, with a proper lounge seat rather than a cramped bench. If a two-person tub specifically is what you are after, our two-person hot tub range covers that size in more detail.

Hot Tub ESG-802C. One of our larger models. Five people at 2200 x 2200 x 940mm with 106 jets across two loungers and three upright seats, built for entertaining.

Hot Tub ESG-720. A spacious five-person option with an air blower alongside the jets, suited to bigger gardens and bigger get-togethers.

Every ESG tub runs on a Balboa control system, with USA Aristech acrylic shells, insulated cabinets and multi-speed pumps as standard, whatever size you go for. There are installed tubs in Irish gardens in our gallery.

If saunas or a cold plunge are also on your mind, have a look at our outdoor saunas, our indoor saunas or our ice baths. A fair few hot tub customers end up adding one later, once they have felt the difference hot and cold contrast makes. Our swim spa range is another option if you would rather swim as well as soak.

ESG or Aquavia: How to Choose Between Them

With two ranges on one page, it is fair to be upfront about how to pick between them. Our ESG models are well proven in Irish gardens, generally sit at a lower starting price point, and we have been supplying and supporting them here for years. The Aquavia range brings a broader spread of sizes and collection styles, European build standards, and a longer structural warranty. Neither is the better range across the board. It depends on budget, the finish you want, and how many people you are buying for. If you are not sure, the fastest way to decide is to talk it through with our team, or come and see both side by side at our Athlone showroom.

What a Hot Tub Does for You

Regular hydrotherapy use eases muscle tension, takes the edge off everyday stress, and helps with sleep. Plenty of our customers tell us theirs has become part of an evening routine rather than an occasional treat. Athletes and gym goers often use one for recovery after training too, since warm water and gentle jet pressure help take the sting out of sore muscles between sessions.

A tub built for a couple’s quiet evenings is not the same product as one built for Sunday afternoons with the extended family in, which is really the point of stocking a range this size.

Picking the Right One

How many people, realistically. Buy for the nights you will use it, not the one big party a year.

Jet placement over jet count. Sixty jets in the wrong spots will not help a bad back the way twenty well-placed ones will.

Indoor or outdoor. Aquavia’s range covers both, and it changes what you need in terms of space, ventilation and installation.

Running costs. Insulation quality makes a real difference to your electricity bill over a few Irish winters. Foam insulation under the shell and a foil-backed skirt both help with heat retention.

What happens after you buy it. Warranty terms and whether there is a local team that will turn up matter more than people expect. Being the Irish distributor helps here, since it means original parts and support rather than importing through a third party.

We have written more on this in our buyer’s guide to hot tubs in Ireland, which also covers weighing a hot tub against a full wellness setup with a sauna included.

Delivery, Installation and Finance

Delivery is available across Ireland, and our team can talk you through what is involved in getting a tub sited and running: base preparation, the electrical connection, and positioning it somewhere that works with your garden or patio.

Why Buy Through Elite Spa Gardens

Being Ireland’s official Aquavia Spa distributor is a big part of it, but it is not the whole story. We have built up an ESG range of our own over the years, and we back everything with proper local support: tailored advice, installation guidance, and aftercare that does not disappear once the tub is plumbed in. Read customer feedback on our reviews page, or book a visit to our showroom to see the range in person. You can also browse the full shop if you want to see how hot tubs sit alongside the rest of the range.
