Florence™ Hot Tub by Caldera Spas

The Florence™ is a six-person hot tub designed for relaxed conversation, restorative soaking, and easy entertaining. Its open seating layout and raised cool-down bench create a comfortable setting for families and friends, while 46 hydrotherapy jets help deliver a full-body soak with focused relief where it matters most. Buyers across Traverse City, Houghton Lake, and Petoskey can appreciate a spa that balances social seating, massage variety, and practical energy-saving construction.

Offered through Phillips Lifestyles, the Florence fits shoppers who want a premium backyard spa with thoughtful comfort details and support from a dealer that also provides installation, maintenance, free in-home consultations, and showroom test soaks for hot tub buyers. It is a strong choice for households looking for a refined soaking experience with features that support both relaxation and everyday use.

Key features

The Florence is built as a social six-person spa with an open layout that makes it easy to settle in, talk, and enjoy the water together. A raised cool-down bench adds flexibility for shorter soaks, temperature breaks, or simply changing positions during a long evening soak. The spa also includes an Acquarella waterfall with LED lighting, adding a polished look while keeping the focus on comfort and daily use.

At the center of the experience are 46 jets, including the dedicated Atlas Neck Massage system. That combination gives the Florence enough jet variety to support different body zones during a session, from neck and shoulders to broader back coverage. For many buyers, that blend of seating and massage focus is what makes a hot tub feel useful throughout the week, not just on special occasions.

Beyond the headline features, the Florence offers practical details that matter during ownership. Its FreshWater® IQ System is included, and optional smart spa technology can connect through the Caldera Spas app when paired with the Connected Spa Kit. The spa also supports an optional ozone system, giving shoppers additional flexibility when choosing how they want to manage water care.

Comfort and hydrotherapy

The Florence pairs a roomy footprint with a massage package meant to feel purposeful. The Atlas Neck Massage system uses a contoured pillow and jets positioned above the water line to focus on the neck and shoulders, helping create a more concentrated upper-body massage. Additional seat designs in the Caldera Utopia line are built for larger back muscles and lower-body comfort, so the Florence fits naturally within a family of spas known for varied hydrotherapy coverage.

For families or couples who want a spa that works well after work, after outdoor activities, or during quiet weekends, the Florence offers the right kind of versatility. The layout encourages easy movement from seat to seat, while the raised bench provides a natural place to pause and cool down before settling back into the water. In northern Michigan, that kind of flexible design fits buyers who want one spa to serve both relaxing and social use.

It is also the kind of spa that feels at home after a day near Young State Park, when a calm soak is more appealing than another outing.

The 7-foot by 7-foot footprint keeps the Florence substantial enough for six-person use without feeling oversized for many backyard settings. That balance is helpful for buyers comparing hot tubs for year-round enjoyment, especially when they want a model that feels welcoming rather than cramped. The raised cool-down bench gives the spa another layer of everyday convenience, since users can rotate through seats and adjust their soak length without leaving the water.

Size, efficiency, and setup

The Florence measures 7 feet by 7 feet by 36 inches and holds about 360 gallons of water. It uses a fully insulated build with FiberCor material, a 2 lb. density construction, and a CEC-compliant design intended to support energy efficiency. The spa also includes an EnergyPro circulation pump, an EnergyPro heater rated at 4,000 watts, and a WeatherPro 4-inch tapered custom-fit cover with hinge seal, all of which work together to help retain heat.

Additional practical details include an included GFCI sub-panel, ABS base pan, and optional Smart Spa technology through the Caldera Spas app when paired with the Connected Spa Kit. Cabinet, shell, cover, and step color options help the Florence suit different backyard styles. For many buyers, those choices matter because the hot tub needs to fit both the space and the lifestyle it supports.

Lighting and water features also contribute to the ownership experience. The spa includes SpaGlo® multi-zone LED lighting with interior points and an exterior light bar, plus an Acquarella waterfall with LED lighting. Those touches add atmosphere without changing the Florence’s core purpose: a comfortable, feature-rich soaking environment that feels inviting after long days and on weekends alike. Combined with the included cover and insulation package, the design is meant to support consistent use through the season.
