LED waterproof lantern

1. Waterproof LED Lantern – Lighting That Works Around Water

Best for: Night-time use, outdoor zones Spa zones benefit from soft, reliable lighting—especially after dark. A waterproof LED lantern is a flexible solution with no need for installation. Most are cordless, rechargeable, and adjustable via remote.

  • Easy to move or position
  • Safe around water
  • Enhances comfort and visibility

2. Unbreakable Drinkware – A Safer Alternative to Glass

Best for: Entertaining with minimal risk Traditional glass isn’t suitable (or safe) near spas, where slips or drops can happen. Broken glass poses a safety risk and can also damage your spa by getting caught in filters or pumps.

Our advice? Always use unbreakable or shatterproof drinkware when enjoying beverages in or around your spa. Spa World offers a range of high-quality, spa-safe options. They look just like traditional wine or beer glasses—minus the hazard. Plus, they’re reusable and dishwasher-safe!

  • Reduces risk of breakage
  • Suitable for both kids and adults
  • Useful beyond spa occasions

3. Floating Tray – Keep Items Within Reach

Best for: Reducing trips in and out of the spa Floating trays are useful for holding drinks, snacks, phones, or even card games—allowing you to stay comfortable in the spa without juggling items.

For example, Spa World's inflatable floating spa tray includes six drink holders, snack compartments, and handles for easy use in and out of the water.

  • Adds convenience, especially in groups
  • Helps keep items dry and contained
  • Also compatible with swim spas

4. Aromatherapy – Transform Your Spa with Soothing Scents

Best for: Creating a calming, uplifting atmosphere Aromatherapy is a simple and effective way to elevate your spa experience. Liquid spa scents are especially popular for their ease of use and compatibility with most spa systems. They're a quick way to set the mood—whether you're after total relaxation or an energising boost.

  • Easy-to-use liquid options for a consistent fragrance experience
  • Spa-safe and designed to maintain water quality
  • Vortex™ spas include built-in aromatherapy systems for effortless scent delivery via the air blower
  • Choose from a wide range of fragrances to suit your mood or occasion

5. Outdoor Heating – Keep Warm Outside the Spa

Best for: Cooler weather, evening events Spa use doesn’t need to be limited to warm days. A patio-friendly outdoor heater helps keep the surrounding area comfortable, especially for guests drying off or resting between soaks.

  • Makes outdoor entertaining more flexible
  • Available in various types (freestanding, infrared, wall-mounted)
  • Built for spa and patio conditions
Gas heater for spa pools

6. Outdoor Shower – Support Clean Water and Hygiene

Best for: Pre-soak rinses and post-spa cooling off Encouraging guests to rinse off before entering the spa helps maintain water quality and ease the load on filters. Outdoor showers offer a convenient way to do this—without needing a bathroom run.

  • Minimises debris and sunscreen in spa water
  • Adds a cooling or rinse-off option post-soak
  • Can be installed freestanding or wall-mounted

7. Outdoor Pizza Oven – Serve Hot, Fresh Food Poolside

Ziipa™ Piana gas-fired pizza oven

Compact and stylish, modern pizza ovens heat quickly and cook authentic pizzas in just minutes—perfect for feeding guests without heading indoors.

  • Great for casual, hands-on entertaining
  • Available in gas or wood-pellet fired models
  • Heats fast and cooks pizzas in under 2 minutes
