Who wouldn't love to find themselves in a veritable haven of peace, right in their own backyard? A spa can transform your outdoor space into a place of relaxation, rejuvenation and well-being. In addition to adding a touch of luxury to your property, a spa can also offer numerous health benefits, including stress reduction and muscle relaxation. Let's take a look at the different steps you need to consider to create your dream outdoor spa!

The ideal location

I'm sure you'll agree that choosing the right location for your spa is crucial. First of all, to promote tranquility and privacy, choose a location away from high-traffic areas or the prying eyes of neighbors. Also, make sure the location is stable and large enough to accommodate the spa and other functional and aesthetic elements.

Configuration

Today, there are many options when it comes to designing a spa. Many pool companies offer the built-in spa, which may be practical in summer but is not functional all year round. While some people opt for a spa built right into their terrace, others prefer to have a dedicated space sheltered by a pergola or positioned near the pool house.

Site preparation

Before installing the spa, prepare the site by making sure it's level and stable. You may need to pour a concrete slab or use paving slabs to create a solid base for the spa. And don't forget to include a drainage system to prevent water build-up around the spa. Depending on location and soil type, you may need professional guidance.

To make your spa area even more inviting, consider adding decorative elements such as plants, shrubs or even a pergola to provide shade and privacy. Integrating an outdoor lighting system into the surrounding flowerbeds also helps create a relaxing evening ambience. And on the practical side, the addition of storage space, hooks or comfortable chairs completes this relaxing corner.

Installing a spa in your backyard is a stimulating project that brings relaxation and joy to you and your family. By considering these elements and adapting the layout to your personal preferences, you can create a relaxing space that will become your year-round haven of well-being! Take the time to plan your project carefully, so you can enjoy this new oasis without hassle.
