Glamping pods with hot tubs
Pick a region and we’ll show you who has pods, huts and yurts with a tub there, and how many they had when we last counted.
Ten regions, counted site by site
We list a region only when one booking site showed at least 15 hot tub glamping stays there on the day we checked. On 3 and 4 October 2026, ten passed. The number on each one is the most shown by any site whose numbers we publish. We don’t publish numbers from Holidu™, so two sit below 15 and one has no number.

What you’re actually booking
A glamping pod is a small insulated timber cabin with a curved roof. Some are a bed and a kettle. Others squeeze in a shower room and a kitchenette. We use the word loosely on this site, because the booking pages we link to mix pods with shepherd’s huts, yurts and safari tents. Our guide to what glamping is explains the difference.
The tub comes in two kinds. Electric tubs are kept hot all the time, so you lift the lid and get in. Wood fired tubs have a stove, and you light it yourself a couple of hours before you want to use it. Neither is better. They suit different trips.
Then there’s the question that catches people out. A listing that says “hot tub” can mean a tub on your own deck or a shared one by reception. Here’s how to tell private from shared before you pay.

Questions people ask
What is glamping?
Glamping is camping with the hard parts taken out. You sleep close to the outdoors in a structure that’s already set up, such as a pod, a shepherd’s hut, a yurt or a safari tent, and there’s a real bed inside. Many come with heating, a kitchen and a bathroom. Our guide to what glamping is explains how the different types compare.
How does a wood fired hot tub work?
A stove heats the water directly. It sits either inside the tub behind a guard or just outside it, joined by two pipes. There’s no pump and no jets. You light the fire, keep the lid on, feed it small dry logs and stir the water now and then so the heat spreads. See how wood fired hot tubs work for the full routine.
How long does a wood fired hot tub take to heat?
Hot tub retailer Layzee Living says between one and three hours for a standard tub. It depends on how cold the water is at the start, the size of the tub, the type of stove, how dry the wood is and the weather. If you want to be in by eight, light it as soon as you arrive.
What should I take glamping?
For a hot tub stay, pack two sets of swimwear, a robe, something for your feet, a head torch and cups that aren’t glass. In winter, add a woolly hat for the tub. Then ask the site what’s provided, especially bedding, towels and logs. The full list is in what to take glamping.
Will I have the hot tub to myself?
Only if the listing says so. Look for “private hot tub” or “sole use”. If it says “hot tub on site” or “access to hot tub”, expect to share it, sometimes in booked time slots. Hoseasons has a separate filter for private hot tubs. We explain the wording to look for in private or shared hot tub.
