Lay-Z-Spa (Bestway)Lay-Z-Spa Santorini HydroJet Pro
Our verdict · The step up for buyers who want a genuine spa-like water-jet massage, WiFi control and energy-saving scheduling for year-round use.
Buy it if
You want a genuine spa-grade water-jet massage, WiFi pre-heating and strong insulation to help manage year-round running cost, and the budget stretches to four figures.
Skip it if
You're on a tighter budget, have a small garden, or only need a two-seater - it's the biggest and priciest tub here.

The Santorini is the entry point into Lay-Z-Spa's HydroJet Pro line, and it is what you buy when air bubbles aren't enough. Its 10 pump-driven HydroJet Pro jets deliver targeted back-and-leg water massage that no cheaper AirJet-only tub here can match, backed by 180 AirJets for all-over warmth. It seats seven, adds WiFi app control so you can pre-heat and schedule remotely - genuinely useful for shaving running cost, which the budget picks can't do - and uses ColorJet LED plus EnergySense-class insulation; Lay-Z-Spa measured 58.8% less power over 73.4 hours versus its older, non-EnergySense models. The catch is price and bulk: at around a thousand pounds it costs roughly twice the Paris, and it is big and heavy to fill. It ranks just below the Paris because that value gap is hard to justify unless you specifically want the water-jet experience and year-round use; if you do, it's the most capable tub on this list.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Real pump-driven HydroJet Pro water jets that the air-only picks cannot replicate
- WiFi app pre-heating and scheduling helps manage running cost, which no budget pick offers
- Among the best-insulated inflatables here for winter use, with Lay-Z-Spa's EnergySense construction
Cons
- Four-figure price - roughly double the Paris for the same broad group size
- Large and heavy to fill, so it needs a bigger flat base and more water to heat
