There’s nothing quite like it for easing all the tension right away—and if you've got a whole crew with you, then a pad with a spa is even better. 

Thankfully, Urban List is here so you don't have to spend hours scrolling through listings in search of the perfect place. If you're looking for a spot to stay and spend time in the tub check out our list of the best Airbnbs with outdoor spas and bathtubs for 2026.

You’re 500m to Mount Martha South Beach (with those adorable beach boxes) here, four minutes to The Pillars, and four minutes to Mount Martha Village so there’s heaps to go see. But we wouldn’t blame you if you just fancied enjoying your luxury accommodation in all its indoor/outdoor-living glory instead. 

Take the plunge and enjoy the solar-heated swimming pool, or laze by the side of it in a lounger if you prefer. If a nice steamy outdoor bath is more your thing, you can head for the white tub around the corner and jump right on in. The heated cedar hot tub is an option if there’s a few of you who’d like a dip.
