Local Spas & Hot Tubs in Beenleigh QLD

Spa, hot tub or Jacuzzi - What’s the difference?

There’s some confusion around the different terms (we admit), as services tend to throw them around interchangeably. Are spas, hot tubs and Jacuzzis all just the same thing? Read on to find out!

A spa is “a place devoted to enhancing overall well-being through a variety of professional services that encourage the renewal of mind, body and spirit”, according to the International Spa Association. It is often associated with a health resort, where patrons get massages, facials, manicures, and other aesthetic services.

Spas also refer to physical in-ground hot tubs for relaxation purposes. They can be attached to a swimming pool or be custom-built hot tubs that are set into the ground.

A hot tub specifically describes an above-ground tub with strategically placed jets of air to offer a similar relaxation experience. They may be portable depending on the material and design.

How about a Jacuzzi? It’s actually a company that makes the pumps that go in bathtubs. However hotels often like to use the term mistakenly when describing any spa or tub with built-in jets.
