hot-tub

Outdoor spa basin

A hot tub is a large tub filled with heated water, used for relaxation or socializing.

Unlike a bathtub, hot tubs accommodate multiple people and feature jets that circulate the water.

As a verb, to hot-tub is to soak in one: We hot-tubbed after skiing.

Hot tubs are associated with leisure, parties, and sometimes romantic or sexual encounters.
