Cantabria® Hot Tub by Caldera Spas

The Cantabria® is a large-format hot tub built for buyers who want a premium soak with room for up to eight adults. Its defining appeal is the UltraMassage® lounge paired with the customizable UltraMasseuse® System, which gives you six different jet sequences and three speeds to shape the feel of each session. For households across Traverse City, Ludington, Mio, and Prudenville, it offers a compelling mix of comfort, capacity, and control for home relaxation.

Phillips Lifestyles backs that experience with practical ownership support, including expert installation and maintenance, free in-home consultations, spa maintenance, and hot tub test soaks. If you are comparing premium spas and want a model that combines a lounge seat, a strong jet count, and energy-conscious construction, the Cantabria brings together the comfort features many shoppers want with the service support that helps simplify ownership.

Features and comfort

The Cantabria is designed around broad, customizable hydrotherapy. It seats eight adults and includes 74 jets, supported by three ReliaFlo® pumps, giving the spa a strong foundation for an adjustable massage experience. The UltraMassage® lounge creates a dedicated reclining position, while the UltraMasseuse® System lets you fine-tune six jet sequences and three speeds. That combination makes it easy to move from a softer, more relaxing soak to a more targeted massage session without changing tubs or sacrificing comfort.

Its hydrotherapy design also includes massage zones focused on the neck, shoulders, back, lumbar area, thighs, knees, calves, and feet. The Cantabria’s jet layout is built to spread that comfort across more than one seat style, including the lounge and upright positions, so it can serve couples, families, and guests who prefer different types of support. For many buyers, that flexibility matters just as much as raw jet count.

Atmosphere is another strength. The spa includes two Acquarella waterfalls with LED lighting and SpaGlo® multi-zone LED lighting with interior and exterior points of light. An Advent® LCD touchscreen control with an auxiliary panel and UltraMasseuse panel keeps operation straightforward, while the EnergyPro® circulation pump supports consistent water movement. Together, those details help the spa feel polished and easy to live with every day.

Energy-conscious construction is built into the package as well. The Cantabria uses fully insulated FiberCor® material, a CEC-compliant design, and a 4" tapered WeatherPro™ cover with hinge seal to help retain heat. The included FreshWater® IQ System adds a practical water care foundation right from the start, which is appealing for shoppers who want a premium spa experience with a more streamlined maintenance routine.

Specifications and installation considerations

The Cantabria measures 9' x 7'7" x 38" and holds 615 gallons of water. Dry weight is listed at 1,310 lbs., and filled weight is 7,840 lbs., so this is a substantial spa that benefits from careful planning before delivery. Phillips Lifestyles offers free in-home consultations to help with measuring, placement, and clearance considerations, including the room needed for the cover and lifter to operate properly.

Included equipment adds convenience and value. The spa comes with a GFCI sub-panel, a ProLift® III cover lifter, an ABS base pan, and an EnergyPro® Titanium heater rated at 4,000 watts. Electrical requirements are 230v/50 or 70 amp. Optional upgrades include Corona Discharge Ozone, smart spa technology powered by the Connected Spa Kit, wireless audio, a 22" HD wireless monitor, and a Utopia® step available in coordinated finishes.

The cabinet and shell options make it easier to match the spa to a backyard design. Cabinet colors include Parchment, Ash, and Java, while shell colors include White Pearl, Tuscan Sun, Arctic White, and Midnight Canyon. For buyers who want a spa that feels visually refined as well as functionally capable, these options help the Cantabria blend into a wide range of outdoor settings.

Local service and support from Phillips Lifestyles

Phillips Lifestyles has served Northern Michigan since 1980 and offers installation, maintenance, repairs, free consultations, and a spa maintenance program. That combination is helpful for buyers who want guidance before purchase and practical support after the spa is in place. The company also invites shoppers to request a test soak for hot tubs at its showroom, which can be a useful way to evaluate seating feel and overall comfort before making a final decision.

For homeowners shopping from Traverse City and nearby communities, the value of that support is easy to appreciate. You can start with product information, talk through placement with the team, and continue with care and maintenance help after the spa is installed. Phillips Lifestyles also describes itself as a family-owned business committed to personalized service, and its team includes service, delivery, and showroom staff who support the ownership process from start to finish.

Regional context matters too. If your search for a spa takes you along the lakeshore, you may recognize local landmarks such as Ludington Light and Ludington State Park. Those names simply help place the product in the broader Northern Michigan setting; the spa itself should still be judged on comfort, fit, and features.
