Why Small Hot Tubs Are a Big Win for Any Backyard

When it comes to finding the perfect hot tub for your home, bigger isn’t always better. In fact, for many spa owners, small hot tubs offer the perfect blend of relaxation, space efficiency, and lower maintenance—without sacrificing luxury. Whether you have limited outdoor space, prefer a more intimate soak, or just want a budget-friendly option, small hot tubs are a smart solution. And at Cal Spas, we’ve curated a premium lineup of compact models designed to deliver comfort and performance in a smaller footprint.

Benefits of Small Hot Tubs

Small hot tubs are ideal for patios, balconies, or smaller backyards where space is at a premium. These spas are easier to install and require less water and energy to operate, which means lower utility bills and a more sustainable spa experience. They're also quicker to heat and maintain, so you can spend more time relaxing and less time managing your spa.

But don’t let their size fool you—today’s small hot tubs still offer all the luxury and hydrotherapy benefits you’d expect from larger models, including ergonomic seating, powerful jet configurations, LED lighting, and intuitive digital controls.

Cal Spas Small Hot Tub Collection

At Cal Spas, we offer an impressive selection of small hot tubs that prove you don’t need a massive spa to enjoy a world-class experience. Here are some standout models from our collection:

  • Balboa PZ-516L – With seating for 3, this ultra-compact spa fits just about anywhere while still offering a high-gloss shell, comfortable lounge seat, and powerful jets for full-body hydrotherapy.
  • Kona PZ-519L – This 3-person spa features an open seating design, making it great for casual soaks or romantic evenings under the stars.
  • Aloha PZ-614L - Hawaiian PZ-620L – These models expand your seating to 4-5 people while keeping a small footprint, offering more space for family or friends.
  • Maui PZ-620B – A versatile spa with bench seating, perfect for social soaking or solo relaxation. Its shape makes it easy to fit into tighter outdoor spaces.

Our Plus Series models—like the Balboa Plus PPZ-524L, Kona Plus PPZ-533L, Hawaiian Plus PPZ-634L, and Maui Plus PPZ-634B—offer enhanced features such as upgraded jet counts, LED waterfall features, and Bluetooth audio, giving you more luxury even in a compact form.

The Perfect Fit for Your Lifestyle

Small hot tubs are an excellent option for first-time buyers, couples, or those who want to enhance their outdoor living space without a major renovation. Their portability and ease of use make them especially attractive for city dwellers or homeowners with limited yard space.

At Cal Spas, we believe everyone deserves a place to relax and recharge—no matter the size of their space. Our small hot tubs are designed with the same attention to quality, durability, and innovation as our largest models. So, whether you're creating a cozy retreat on your deck or upgrading your patio into a private spa oasis, there’s a Cal Spas model that’s just right for you.
