Palm Beach Hot Tubs – Smart Spa Design for Florida Homes
A partially semi-recessed spa—where the spa is set halfway into a deck or terrace—is one of the most balanced and stylish installation options available. It blends visual elegance with day-to-day practicality, offering a spa that’s both eye-catching and easy to use.
At Palm Beach Hot Tubs, we often recommend this setup to clients in South Florida looking for a clean, modern design that also meets comfort and safety needs.
💡 Main Benefits:
✅ Improved access: Less height to step over makes entry and exit easier for all ages.
✅ Visual integration: The spa blends beautifully into your terrace for a streamlined, high-end look.
✅ Natural seating: The exposed edge can be used as a built-in bench or lounge spot.
✅ Safer edges: Reduced trip hazards compared to fully in-ground installations.
⚠️ What to plan for:
A reinforced deck or slab underneath is essential to handle the spa’s weight.
You must leave accessible service panels for pumps and filters—design these into your deck layout.
Proper drainage around the recessed area is key to avoiding water damage or rot.
A partially recessed spa offers the perfect mix of style, safety, and functionality—especially suited to South Florida’s outdoor living lifestyle.
