Ravello™ 3-Person Hot Tub for Compact Outdoor Spaces

The Ravello™ is a compact Caldera Spas hot tub designed for buyers who want a smaller footprint without giving up a true spa experience. With room for three, it pairs a space-saving exterior with an interior that feels open and inviting, making it a strong fit for homes across Traverse City, Kalkaska, Cadillac, and Gaylord. At Phillips Lifestyles, this model stands out for its focused hydrotherapy, efficient construction, and easy-to-live-with size.

For shoppers comparing hot tubs for everyday relaxation, the Ravello brings together 39 jets, two ReliaFlo® pumps, and the UltraMassage® lounge to deliver a massage that feels purposeful from neck to calves. It is also built with practical ownership in mind, including a 4,000-watt heater, insulated cabinet construction, and a included G.F.C.I.-protected sub-panel. If you want a refined spa that can fit where larger models may not, the Ravello is built to make the most of limited space.

Features and massage performance

The Ravello is built around a well-balanced hydrotherapy layout. Its 39 jets are positioned to support a full-body soak, while the UltraMassage® lounge targets the neck, shoulders, full back, and calves. The spa also includes Sole Soothers jet clusters that stimulate the feet, helping create a more complete massage experience from top to bottom.

Beyond the lounge, the seating options are designed to focus relief where people often feel it most. The LumbarSsage® seat concentrates on the lower back and calves, the Euphoria® jets provide a deep massage for thighs, knees, calves, and feet, and the EctaSeat® uses multiple jets to address larger back muscles while also working hip and wrist stress points. For buyers who want one spa to serve different soaking moods, that variety is a major advantage.

The control experience is equally practical. An Advent® LCD touchscreen handles spa operation, while the included 50 sq. ft. filter supports daily water care. The model also features SpaGlo® multi-zone LED lighting with seven interior light points and an exterior light bar, which helps the spa feel polished and easy to enjoy in the evening.

Optional upgrades let shoppers tailor the Ravello to their preferences. A Corona Discharge Ozone system is available, along with Smart Spa Technology through the Caldera Spas App and Connected Spa Kit. Wireless Bluetooth® audio is also optional, and the spa includes four 1.5" square speakers when that entertainment package is selected.

Dimensions, capacity, and setup

The Ravello measures 7' x 5'6" x 33" and seats up to three people. It holds 265 gallons of water and weighs 720 lbs. dry and 3,460 lbs. filled. That size makes it compact enough for smaller outdoor layouts while still offering a roomy feel inside the shell.

Setup is straightforward for the category, with 230V / 50 amp electrical requirements and an included G.F.C.I.-protected sub-panel. The circulation system uses an EnergyPro® pump for quiet continuous filtration, and the heater is rated at 4,000 watts. The spa also ships with a WeatherPro™ 4" tapered custom-fit cover with hinge seal, helping complete the ownership package with a snug protective fit.

Material and finish choices add flexibility for different backyard styles. Shell colors include White Pearl, Tuscan Sun, Platinum, Arctic White, and Midnight Canyon. Cabinet and step colors are offered in Java, Ash, and Parchment, and the Ecotech® Plus cabinet is described with a modern black header, wood grain accent, stainless-steel trim, and integrated LED light bar. For buyers who want a compact spa that still looks substantial, those details help the Ravello feel finished from every angle.

Energy efficiency, controls, and comfort details

Energy-conscious construction is one of the Ravello’s key strengths. The spa uses FiberCor® insulation, a 2 lb. density fully insulated cabinet, and a WeatherPro™ cover to help retain heat. Its EnergyPro® circulation pump supports quiet continuous filtration, and the EnergyPro® heater delivers 4,000 watts of heating power.

The build also includes a bottom seal ABS base pan and a CEC-compliant efficiency approach, reinforcing the spa’s practical side. These details matter for owners who want a hot tub that feels indulgent when they step in, but sensible when it is sitting covered between soaks. For households comparing long-term ownership, the combination of insulation, cover design, and continuous filtration is a meaningful advantage.

Comfort details extend to the optional ProLift® III or ProLift® II cover lifter, which can make daily use easier in tight spaces. A Utopia® step is also available in Java, Ash, and Parchment, giving buyers a cleaner entry solution that matches the spa’s finish options. The result is a model that is thoughtfully specified for real-world use, not just showroom appeal.
