Glamping with a hot tub is the fastest-growing segment of short-term accommodation in the Czech Republic. Guests pay CZK 1,500 to 3,500 per night — and the outdoor jacuzzi is the main reason they choose your property over others. How do you set one up?
Why a hot tub changes everything
The comparison on Airbnb is unforgiving: a standard glamping tiny house rents for CZK 1,000–1,400 a night. The same accommodation with an outdoor hot tub? Easily CZK 2,000–2,800. And occupancy is higher too — guests looking for a jacuzzi book in advance and cancel less often.
A hot tub doesn’t just raise the price per night — it also raises occupancy. The result is, on average, a 60–80% higher annual return compared to a tiny house without one.
Which MB models are best for a hot tub
The key is a large enough terrace or porch. The best options are:
- MB11 Titan (11 m long, terrace up to 4×3 m) — a luxury base, the hot tub looks natural
- MB42 (two-storey, rooftop terrace) — a hot tub on the roof = a wow effect for guests
- MB Mirror House — a design mirror-clad exterior + a hot tub on the terrace = an Instagram magnet
Even smaller models (MB7, MB8) can be paired with a free-standing hot tub next to the house — all you need is a level surface and a power connection.
How to choose a hot tub for your glamping tiny house
Outdoor jacuzzi vs. swim spa
An outdoor jacuzzi (inflatable or rigid) is an affordable option. An inflatable version (CZK 10,000–30,000) works seasonally, while a rigid plastic tub (CZK 50,000–120,000) earns year-round. A rigid tub is almost always the better choice for glamping — guests can tell the difference.
A swim spa (CZK 150,000–400,000) is a bigger investment, but offers a luxurious experience and stands out from the competition. It’s a great choice for a premium glamping resort.
Power and consumption
A standard outdoor hot tub needs a 230V or 400V connection. Consumption is 3–5 kWh/day at maintenance temperature. At current energy prices, that’s roughly CZK 30–50/day — a cost easily covered by a surcharge for guests.
Step by step: setting up glamping with a hot tub
- Choose your land — privacy is key. A forest clearing, garden or a solitary meadow.
- Get a tiny house with a porch — we deliver MB models with a porch, turnkey.
- Install the hot tub — 400V connection, a solid base (concrete slab or WPC decking), and setup.
- Create an Airbnb listing — professional photos are the most important investment. One photo session pays for itself in the first weekend.
- Set your prices — base price CZK 1,800/night, weekend CZK 2,400, holidays CZK 2,800. Surcharges for pets, late check-in after 2pm, etc.
Returns: what to realistically expect
Model example: MB9 (two-storey, 2+1) with an outdoor hot tub, South Bohemian Region
- Average price per night: CZK 2,200
- Occupancy: 68% (248 nights/year)
- Gross revenue: CZK 545,600/year
- Costs (energy, management, cleaning, platform fees): ~CZK 120,000/year
- Net revenue: ~CZK 425,000/year
At a tiny house price of CZK 1,100,000 plus a hot tub at CZK 90,000 = a total investment of CZK 1,190,000. Payback: approximately 2.8 years.
