How many people fit in the Lay-Z-Spa Maldives?
Lay-Z-Spa sells it for up to 7 people. It measures 201 x 201 x 80 cm on the outside, and the walls take up part of that. Makers count seats generously, so plan on fewer adults for real comfort.
Does the Lay-Z-Spa Maldives have water jets?
Yes. It has 180 air jets + 8 water jets, so you get a real massage as well as bubbles.
Can I plug the Lay-Z-Spa Maldives into a normal socket?
Tubs like this run from a 13 A socket. Use a weatherproof outdoor socket with RCD protection and no extension lead. On many inflatables the heater and the bubbles cannot run at the same time.
What guarantee comes with the Lay-Z-Spa Maldives?
Up to 2 years from the maker. Guarantees on hot tubs often split between the liner and the pump, so check the terms.
How much does the Lay-Z-Spa Maldives cost?
The last price we saw was £1,000, about £143 per seat. Hot tub prices climb before summer and drop around Black Friday, and the retailer shows the current price.
