How many people fit in the Lay-Z-Spa Santorini?
Lay-Z-Spa sells it for up to 7 people. It measures 216 cm across, 80 cm high on the outside, and the walls take up part of that. Makers count seats generously, so plan on fewer adults for real comfort.

Up to 2 years from the maker. Guarantees on hot tubs often split between the liner and the pump, so check the terms.
