Holiday Let Hot Tubs for Property Owners

While these second homes offer an escape from modern-day life, they also present a passive investment opportunity for many too. Added extras, such as a hot tub, allow you to market your holiday home for higher yields and attract more consistent bookings. So, is investing in a hot tub or swim pool for your property the right choice?

The benefits of a holiday home hot tub

Statistics show that advertising a holiday property with a hot tub can significantly increase your search volume and resulting bookings. 62% of those looking for properties to spend their spare time in are actively searching for ‘hot tubs’. Those able to offer this privilege see, on average, a 30% increase in occupancy rates and up to 54% more income than properties without. These numbers alone show the significant benefits of this investment – especially for homes in desirable locations. If you’re able to provide picturesque views and good weather during the summer months, enticing visitors to spend more time on your property can ingrain the experience into their memories and encourage the chance of repeat bookings too.

Weighing up the pros and cons

As with any investment, adding a hot tub to your property needs to be a careful consideration. The increase in income is likely the driving factor but you also need to consider the upkeep. Guests are less likely to use your facilities or recommend them to a friend if they find the hot tub poorly maintained. You will need to schedule regular services to guarantee optimal performance and include hot tub cleaning into your overall pre-booking routine. Not to mention the costs that are associated with this if something goes wrong. To offer yourself some level of protection, you may also want to consider the scope of your property insurance. Make sure it covers external features, such as hot tubs or swim spas, otherwise, you could be hit with a large bill after any booking.

On average, a permanent hot tub can cost anywhere between £4,000 – £10,000. This is without the installation costs and any groundwork that needs to occur beforehand. Sit down and work out your numbers before making a solid decision. You’ll want to ensure you can reap a reward on this investment in the shortest amount of time while expanding your bookings too. Take into account the increase in energy bills, cleaning chemicals and the need for urgent repair call-outs while guests are on-site. All of these things will determine whether adding a hot tub to your holiday property is the best option.
