How to Choose the Right Hot Tub Size for Your Event

Renting a hot tub is a great way to make any event special, but one of the first questions that comes up is: what size tub do I need? Making the right choice depends on several factors — the size of your group, the type of event, your budget, and personal preferences. In this article, we'll help you find the ideal hot tub size for your needs.

Our Range: Small and Large Hot Tubs

Tünnirent.ee offers two different sized hot tubs that cover most needs:

Small Hot Tub (4–6 people)

• Capacity: 4–6 adults comfortably
• Price: €40/24h (Mon–Thu) or €55/24h (Fri–Sun)
• Compact and easy to set up
• Fits on smaller surfaces
• Ideal for intimate gatherings

Large Hot Tub (up to 10 people)

• Capacity: up to 10 adults
• Price: €75/24h (Mon–Thu) or €95/24h (Fri–Sun)
• Bubble system and LED lighting
• More space and comfort
• Suitable for large parties and events

Group Size — The Main Criterion

The most important factor when choosing a hot tub is how many people plan to be in the water at the same time. It's important to think realistically — not all guests will necessarily want to get in at once, but at the peak of the party, interest can be high.

1–4 people: The small hot tub is the ideal choice. For couples, a small circle of friends, or a family gathering, the compact tub works perfectly. You'll have enough room to sit comfortably and move around, and the price is very affordable.

5–6 people: This is a borderline size. The small hot tub does fit up to 6 people, but if you want more space and comfort, it's worth considering the large tub. If the budget is limited and everyone is close friends who don't mind being cozy, the small tub is still a suitable choice.

7–10 people: The large hot tub is the only right choice. With a bigger group, it's important that everyone has enough room to feel comfortable. The large tub's bubble system and LED lighting also make the experience more luxurious.

More than 10 people: If your group has more than 10 people who want to enjoy the hot tub, there are two options. First, you can organize a rotation system where guests take turns in groups. Second, you can rent two hot tubs at once — for example, one small and one large.

Event Type Determines the Need

Romantic Evening for Two

Recommendation: small hot tub (€40–55). For couples, the small tub is perfect — more intimate, cozier, and more affordable. Candlelight, sparkling wine, and warm water — what more do you need?

Birthday Party

Recommendation: depends on the group size. For a small circle of friends (4–6), the small tub is sufficient. For a bigger party (8–10+ guests), definitely choose the large hot tub — the LED lighting and bubbles add a festive atmosphere.

Wedding

Recommendation: large hot tub (€75–95). Weddings typically have many guests and the hot tub is an additional activity that many want to try. The large tub ensures the queue doesn't get too long.

Family Party with Children

Recommendation: depends on the family size. The small tub works well for a family, but if you're also inviting relatives, consider the large tub. Note: when using a hot tub with children, always follow the safety rules — see our user guide.

Corporate Event

Recommendation: large hot tub. Corporate events typically have a larger group and a more professional setting. The large tub with its bubble system and LED lighting makes a better impression and fits more colleagues at once.

Midsummer or Summer Party

Recommendation: large hot tub. Summer parties usually have many guests and the mood is relaxed — the large tub ensures everyone who wants to can have a turn. Combine it with our mobile sauna (€60/24h Mon–Thu, €90/24h Fri–Sun) and you'll have the perfect outdoor spa experience!

Price Comparison

Let's see how the per-person cost breaks down:

Small hot tub on a weekend (€55):

• 4 people: €13.75 per person
• 6 people: €9.17 per person

Large hot tub on a weekend (€95):

• 6 people: €15.83 per person
• 8 people: €11.88 per person
• 10 people: €9.50 per person

As you can see, with a larger group the big tub is actually almost as affordable per person as the small one! Plus you get the bubble system and LED lighting, which take the experience to a whole other level.

Summary — Our Recommendations

Choosing the right hot tub size isn't complicated if you think through your needs. Here's a quick overview:

• Small tub — ideal for couples, small friend groups (up to 6 people), family gatherings, and intimate events
• Large tub — best choice for bigger parties (7–10 people), weddings, corporate events, and summer get-togethers
