While trips to white-sand beaches and exotic cities are always nice, having a staycation can be just as much fun if you have a hot tub! This summer, save money—and the stress of traveling—with these tips to turn your outdoor space into your own personal resort!

Outdoor Movie Night

What’s better than an outdoor movie night? An outdoor movie night with a hot tub, of course! The next time you want to have a fun night with your family and friends, bring a TV or projector out to your deck and hook it up. Just make sure it’s far enough from the hot tub that any stray splashes won’t interfere with the outlet. Now, you’ve got yourself the perfect home theater that you and your favorite people can enjoy under the stars.

Break Out the Grill

Treat everyone to a delicious meal by setting up your grill and cooking some mouthwatering hot dogs, burgers, and steaks. Don’t forget the sides! The perfect summer meal includes dishes like mac & cheese, baked beans, grilled corn, fruit salad, and coleslaw. If you’re not much of a chef or don’t feel like doing the heavy lifting yourself, you can always host a potluck and ask your guests to bring their favorite dishes.

Spend a Day at the Spa

Your hot tub is the perfect place to enjoy a little “me time.” Give yourself an at-home spa day by kicking back while the jets massage your aches and pains away. The steamy, bubbling water will relax your body and mind, and make you feel refreshed. If you want to kick it up a notch, try a face mask to give your skin a healthy glow. (Just don’t rinse it off in the hot tub!)

A Family-Friendly Happy Hour
