Jacuzzi PowerPlay™ J-13™ swim spa recessed installation with ocean views

The Jacuzzi^® PowerPlay™ J-13™ swim spa was installed as a fully recessed setup at this Pauanui beach house, designed to maximise ocean views while creating a space for both relaxation and exercise. Positioned flush within the timber deck and oriented toward the coastal views, the setup works by blending into the outdoor area without interrupting the view from the living area.

• In-deck swim spa with uninterrupted ocean views
• Dual-purpose design for exercise and family use
• Positioned to face coastline and maximise the view
• Crane installation due to steep, difficult access
• Integrated into extensive home renovation plan

Discover how this installation transforms a coastal deck into a functional lifestyle space for relaxing and unwinding.

In-deck installation designed around the view

This installation was planned to ensure the Jacuzzi Swim Spa didn’t dominate the space or block the outlook. By recessing the spa into the deck, the waterline stays low and visually clean, allowing clear views from the living areas and bedrooms.

Facing the coastline was a key decision. It means every use, whether swimming, relaxing, or supervising grandchildren, makes the most of the surrounding beach and bush setting.

Built for both exercise and downtime

The swim spa needed to do more than one job. It functions as a low-impact exercise pool with swim jets for fitness, while also providing a plunge pool during warmer months, perfect for the whole family!

The generous internal layout allows space for exercise and play, making it ideal for the wider family while still delivering a calm, spa experience for relaxing.

Integrated into a full home renovation

This project was part of a wider renovation, allowing the Jacuzzi Swim Spa to be fully considered within the design. The deck, outdoor furniture, and glass balustrades all work together to create a cohesive outdoor living zone.

The result is a space that feels open, functional, and purpose-built, perfect for entertaining, exercise and downtime.
