soaking pool
Hot tub alternative
A soaking pool is a small, deep pool designed for immersion rather than swimming—you sit or recline in warm water to relax.
The term appears in spa contexts and for traditional Japanese-style baths.
Unlike hot tubs, soaking pools may not have jets: The inn had a natural stone soaking pool fed by hot springs.
