Want to Buy a Spa?

If you're looking for a way to turn your indoor or outdoor space into a relaxed, restorative retreat, buying a spa can be the answer. A spa offers therapeutic benefits and brings a touch of luxury and wellbeing into your home.

From hot tubs to saunas and cold plunges, there's an option for every taste and need. In this article we walk through everything you should know before investing in a spa, so you can make the best decision for your home and lifestyle.

What is a spa?

In the context of hydromassage, a spa refers to equipment that combines relaxation and therapeutic care, typically through warm water and hydromassage jets.

The aim of a spa is to bring relief to body and mind, easing stress and muscle tension and supporting overall wellbeing.

At the Saunamo online store you can explore hot tubs, spas, saunas and cold plunges. Each one offers its own benefits — easing muscle tension, supporting circulation and helping recovery after exercise.

Why a spa is worth the investment

Investing in a spa is more than a touch of luxury. It's an investment in your health and wellbeing.

Buying a spa gives you a personal space for daily relaxation, where you can enjoy the therapeutic benefits without leaving home. Spas can support better sleep, improve circulation and ease joint pain. A hot tub spa, for example, can quickly take the edge off a long day at work and bring more balance to your routine.

A well-installed spa can also add value to your property, making it more attractive to future buyers or tenants.

How to choose the best spa

When deciding which spa to buy, a few key questions are worth asking. First, the available space. If you're placing the spa in a garden or on a terrace, the size and design need to suit the location. For apartments, a compact hot tub or apartment sauna can offer the same comfort without taking up too much room.

The number of users matters too. If you'll mostly be on your own or with one or two others, a 2- to 4-person model is usually enough. For larger families, a bigger spa makes more sense.

Features are worth thinking about as well. Some spas come with LED lighting, integrated sound systems and different jet types, giving a more personalised experience. Energy efficiency matters too — a spa can use a meaningful amount of electricity.

How much does a spa cost?

Prices vary depending on the model, size and features. Entry-level spas start from around €2,000, with higher-end models going beyond €10,000.

At Saunamo you'll find, for example, the Harvia Legend hot tub, priced at €4,500.

What matters most is choosing a spa with quality, design, durability and the right features. You're investing in something that will add comfort and value to your daily life.

How to buy a spa in Portugal

There are several options for buying a spa in Portugal. The first step is choosing a supplier you can trust — one that offers a good range, technical support and a warranty. Installation has its own requirements, including ground preparation and proper electrical connections.

The best place to buy a spa is at Saunamo, Portugal's leading premium maker of saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs.

What to know before buying a spa

Before you decide on a spa, a few practical points matter. First, the location needs to be properly prepared. That can include a solid base, an appropriate electrical supply and, if outdoors, protection from the elements such as a cover.

The Saunamo team will help you check all the conditions before you buy.

Maintenance is the other key factor. With a hot tub, for example, you'll need the right cleaning products to prevent build-up and bacteria. Spa water should be filtered and treated regularly to keep things clean and safe. Read more on hot tub maintenance.
