Plan for Rain
If you see rain in the forecast, call up your friends and tell them you’re soaking in the rain. It might take some convincing, but tell them it’s worth it. The contrast of having the cool rain on your shoulders and soaking the rest of your body in the warm water is entirely relaxing.
You can make walking out to the hot tub more enjoyable by placing towels and bathrobes by the door. Bonus points if you put them in the dryer right before your guests arrive. If it’s chilly, you can even make cups of tea or coffee to help everyone stay warm.
Soak It In
If you’ve ever been swimming in the rain, you likely already know how enjoyable the sensation of being immersed in water and feeling droplets fall on you is. If the rain is particularly heavy, bathers might want a hat to keep their hair from getting soaked.
Make It Better
You can make your rainy soak even better by adding a few luxurious elements to your hot tub area. Use relaxing or invigorating fragrances in the water and add relaxing lighting around your hot tub. Some of the most popular scents include:
● Lavender for relaxation
