Most Arctic Spas models are in the mid-range price bracket. You can get a decent tub for between about $4,000 and $12,000.

Expect to pay around $4,000 for smaller or more basic models. The price increases to $12,000 to $16,000 for their higher-end hot tubs. Swim spas are more expensive in general compared to hot tubs and you can expect to pay anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 plus, depending on the size of the model and the features you select.

Like many hot tub companies, Arctic Spas don't list their pricing information online. You have to request a quote or contact a local spa dealer to see purchase prices. The cost of a hot tub or spa will vary depending on where you are located. Arctic Spas sell worldwide, from the UK to Canada, so there is likely to be cost variation due to location.

In addition to the purchase price, remember to factor in the cost of delivery to your location. And for a regular 240V unit, hot tub wiring and professional installation by a licensed electrician will be required. It can be easy to forget about these additional costs.
