Enjoying the Ducktub in Spain

Model: Electric Ducktub

Private wellness spot with a view of the beach

Chris: "We live in Naaldwijk and also have an apartment near Alicante in Spain; our second home. Whereas we have a smaller balcony in the Netherlands, in Spain we have a balcony measuring around 130 m². When we came to live here, we immediately thought, we need something beautiful on the balcony. An acquaintance of ours also has a Ducktub the decision was quickly made."

A beautiful beach nearby and definitely a swimming pool within walking distance, yet they opted for a hot tub! Chris explains why they also chose a Ducktub: "We have an apartment on the third floor of the apartment complex. In Spain, it is often the case that there is a swimming pool on the roof of such a complex for communal use. It is an unheated swimming pool, and we also have an outdoor gym and a sauna. We actually wanted to have our own wellness area. We first temporarily placed an inflatable spa where the Ducktub now Ducktub , but we quickly realized that we needed a real one."

Electric Ducktub, perfect for the patio!

"My partner Wilco showed a hot tub from you guys a year ago, but I always thought this was only possible with wood stove. So I thought it wasn't for us. Later he told me that so you guys also have electric hot tubs, perfect for our balcony!"

"Wilco went to your showroom to see the hot tub in real life. Actually before that we already knew which model we wanted We first had the architect calculate whether the ground on the terrace could handle this weight, of course you have to take that into account. When we got the green light a week later, we set everything in motion. The delivery time was nice and quick, so we were able to enjoy it very soon."

From Nijkerk to Alicante

We had the Ducktub delivered Ducktub our business, where we have a large hall. Upon delivery, the delivery person provided us with a thorough explanation. From there, we arranged transport to Spain ourselves. It was all very straightforward: two days later, the same company hoisted it onto our balcony.

In 3.5 hours from the Netherlands to delicious Spain

"We live 20 minutes from the airport in Rotterdam and from Alicante airport it is 25 minutes to our apartment. So the journey is easy. About 3.5 hours we are then on the road. So we go there regularly to recharge!"

In summer and 'winter' enjoyment in the hot tub

We Ducktub the Ducktub every day when we are in Spain. We also have an outdoor shower, so we rinse off outside and then get right in. In the height of summer, we also use the hot tub as a swimming pool to cool off. In the late season and in winter, when it's still at least 17 degrees here, we heat it up nicely. In the morning, you can see the steam rising from it, which is wonderful!"

Starting your day off right and enjoying the view with a drink in the evening

Chris and Wilco have Ducktub their Ducktub . They opted for the filter system that keeps the water clean for up to three months, the jet system, bubbles, and underwater lighting. "Thismodel is also the perfect size for us; the height is exactly at the edge of the balustrade and the seat height is just right. We look over the edge towards Alicante with the mountains and the lights."

" In the evening we then enjoy with a nice drink with it, a wine, beer or just a soda. I also love to read in the hot tub. If I'm up earlier in the morning I go in there with my little book. That's really an extra pampering moment."

The terrace becomes even more beautiful

"We bought the apartment a little over 2 years ago, just before corona. We are still working on the balcony. We have two sitting areas and we want to dress it all up with beautiful flower boxes with the Oleander. That is the perfect plant for here, you see it a lot in Spain, also in the roadsides. It stays nice and green all year round. And we want another big olive tree to finish it off."

Tip from Chris: remember the practicalities

"If I had to give a tip is that if you're remodeling your garden or patio and you want to make something beautiful out of it, you should also take a good look at the electrics and water drainage right away. We have very nice oblong tiles all over the balcony, which looks a little gray woody. In the middle we have a drainage system that drains the rain and also the water from the hot tub. When we drain the hot tub we can easily get rid of the water this way. These are things you don't immediately think about but make it very easy."
