TRAVEL INSPIRATION – 5 HOT TUBS WITH A VIEW

By Harden Holidays Here we are again, at the start of another summer dominated by the pandemic but with an ever more complicated landscape for international travel. We approached the restart of international travel with cautious optimism, and we found ourselves with the difficult task of keeping up to date with the relentless and constant changes in advice from both our own and foreign governments alike. This has led to a barrage of questions from confused clients, but we are embracing the challenge because we believe everyone deserves a break and we will do our best to make it happen for them and you. Read our latest Facebook review to hear first-hand detail of the level of service we provided to a family who travelled recently against the current backdrop.

But now - hot tubs. At the beginning of the pandemic, we found ourselves buying one for our garden and it helped keep us sane during the tough times of 2020. Here are our top 5 hot tubs with a view that we would love to experience, and that have a far better view than our back garden.

So, imagine opening your balcony door early in the morning, as the first sun rays are beautifully colouring the sky and taking a dip into your private hot tub. Combined with breath-taking views of snowy-capped mountain summits or endless golden sandy beaches in the distance, this is definitely an experience everyone is dreaming of. If you are planning on treating yourself to the ultimate retreat and looking for the best hot tubs with a view in the world, keep reading.

Velassaru Resort in the Maldives There are only a handful of places around the world that will present you with a more stunning view that the Velassaru Resort in Malé, Maldives. While, the hydropool is the

centrepiece of the spa centre, the way it opens up and blends with the endless crystal clear waters of the ocean is a truly spectacular scenery. If you are looking for the ultimate retreat, which will help you recharge your batteries with a world-class spa centre and relaxing yoga classes, you should definitely head to Velassaru Resort in Malé, Maldives.

North Island in the Seychelles With a total territory of just 201 ha, you may have never heard of the small island, called North Island in the Seychelles. Nestled in the lush greenery and surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, North Island is a private eco-resort, which will offer you the most secluded and peaceful holiday you can imagine away from the crowds. There are just 11 private villas all of them situated right next to the white sandy beaches and wrapped by the tall palm trees. Each villa is equipped with its own jacuzzi, making North Island one of the spots with the best hot tubs with a view in the world.

Iglu-Dorf in Zermatt, Switzerland With its snowy-capped mountain peaks, glacier lakes with crystal clear waters and small picturesque villages tucked in between the mountain summits, Switzerland is among the countries with some of the best hot tubs with a view in the world. If you are looking for something extraordinary and unique, though, you should definitely book a stay at the Iglu-Dorf in Zermatt. Yes, as you can guess by the name, you have a choice of fantastic igloo rooms, where temperatures reach -40°C.

Those looking for a more secluded and private experience, can book the penthouse, which features its own outside hot tub on the balcony with fantastic views of the snowy-capped mountain summits in the distance.

Blue Lagoon, Iceland Last but definitely not least on our list of the best hot tubs with a view we have the Blue Lagoon in Iceland.
