No matter where you go or what you get up to on your weekend break, a private hot tub will provide that extra-special touch of luxury.
When planning that next escape, ask yourself: What would Queen Bey do? She wouldn’t go anywhere without all the true holiday luxuries, including the all-important hot tub, so you shouldn’t either - pouring a $20k bottle of Champagne into the tub is, of course, optional.
Simply lie back and unwind in the bubbles. Although if you’re that committed to living your best life, we reckon a bottle of £6.99 prosecco will do the trick. No need to pour away three years’ worth of university fees.
