This might be one of our smaller models but it has a big focus on hydrotherapy.
The Maklau easily punches above its weight, with all the elegance and functionality of our larger models but in a more compact size. Comfortably accommodating three adults, or a small family, the Makalu features two deep-soak bucket seats, one with a full neck and shoulder massage using eight jets dedicated to massaging the neck and shoulder and upper back areas. You can dream big with the deluxe lounger chair providing a thorough, full-body hydro-therapy massage from head to toe (literally). Melt your stress away in a single soak, this really is the icing on the cake!
The perfect addition for those with a smaller sized outdoor area where space is a precious commodity, or for older couples whose children have flown the nest (beware, they might just want to fly back)!

Do I need to fence my spa pool?
No, in most cases your council will not require you to fence your spa pool.We’re a safety-first company and have designed our portable spa pools meet the fencing criteria stipulated by council requirements.
Here’s the nitty gritty from the councils; A cover may be used as a barrier for a small heated pool with a water surface area of 5 m² or less and with walls that are 760 mm above the adjacent floor or ground. The cover must restrict the entry of children when closed; and be able to withstand a reasonably foreseeable load; and be able to be readily returned to the closed position; and have signage indicating its child safety features. Our covers far exceed the minimum requirements.
Do you do finance?
Yes, we work directly with GEM finance to provide you very attractive finance options.
GEM finance are one of the country’s leading finance providers and work with most major retailers in New Zealand.
Visit our finance options page for more information.
Does the spa come with a cover for the top of the spa?
Yes. All our spas, swim spas and hot tubs come with highly insulated lockable covers. Alpine Spas covers are specifically designed to keep the heat in, even in the depths of a Canadian winter!
What type of base do I need to place my spa on?
Your spa must be places on a hard-flat surface that will not move and can handle the total weight of your spa with water. Your spa cannot be placed on grass.
From the first time, we arrived at Alpine Spa. We were greeted by a very friendly Mary who was nothing but informative without any pressure and it didn’t stop there right through the whole process nothing was an issue and all parts were very professional. And now we have a piece of paradise right in our back yard. Thank you Mary and your team.

I am absolutely loving my Makalu spa. It’s compact, economical to run and looks as great as it feels. The lounger is perfect after a long day at work while the two deep massage seats get the aches out of the shoulders and back after a day of gardening or tramping.

Purchased an Alpine Spas Makalu model spa over lockdown. We dealt with Jake at the CHCH depot who was very helpful and had excellent product knowledge. He gave us a great deal and we got prompt delivery in a difficult time. We are very pleased with the quality and performance and loving having a hot spa. Highly recommended. Thanks Jake and Alpine Spas team!

I eyed up the Makalu several times before and saw the special price on this spa. I was always impressed with the specs on this spa, the great features and compact size compared to the big clunky beast we currently had. I said to my wife, right, lets buy a new spa. She agreed and I went online and ordered the spa. Within a short time, and on Easter Friday, Jay got back to me promptly and helped me through the process of getting the spa as new stocks were arriving soon. He explained the deposit process and would get the ball rolling the next day to process the deposit. From there it was plain sailing. Jay kept in touch to advise the dispatch team would be in touch soon. Rosie contacted us and arranged dispatch to Dunedin. Spa was sent, I picked up spa from Mainfreight, got it home, unpacked and placed on our purpose build deck, cranked it up and have never looked back. The Makalu is simply awesome! Great compact size, powerful jets and great for those chilly nights under the stars. The spa is well built, has great controls and a joy to use. Many thanks to Jay and all the team at Alpine Spas.
