Luxury Baths from around the world

“I can’t think of a sorrow in the world that a hot  bath wouldn’t help just a bit”

I read this quote from Susan Glasse and thought I really must share it with you.  When life gets a little too hectic or even too dull a long wallow in a luxurious hot bath makes all cares, worries, aches and pains just float away. Yep I agree with all that!  Rub a dub dub how much is your tub?

I read also that Jonathan Ross once spent £40,000 on an egg shaped, ivory stone bath. It set me wondering… just how much money are we prepared to pay for our daily bath?

If you drive the world most expensive car and use the worlds most expensive gadgets, why not treat yourself to the world’s most expensive bath too.  A mere snip at £530,000 is the crystal bath tub. Carved from a single slab of rock unearthed from the Amazonian rain forest, this bath designed by Luca Bojola took 6 months to carve and fits up to 3 people. Pop up to Harrods and you might catch it still on show.

The most expensive bath in the world

If you fancy a bath shaped like a boat and only have £111,000 to spend!  Then the hand carved bath made from malachite with its own solid 24 carot gold clawed feet is for you.

Malachite baldi bathtub

£50,000 will buy a beautiful hand crafted solid copper bath. 5 foot long and 3 foot wide it is unquestioningly the centre piece of any bathroom.

Expensive copper bath

The latest bathroom trend is obviously back to nature.

Bathroom designers are creating beautiful hand made pieces from raw natural products that are also environmentally friendly. I have just taken you on trip to see the most expensive baths but to be honest with you we can all afford and benefit from a little bit of luxury without having to cough up the cost of a house to achieve it.

Whirlpool Bath

What a shame that the whirlpool bath wasn’t around in Beethoven’s day.  Apparently he suffered from severe swollen legs and the remedy of the time was to take plenty of hay baths!  He would have thought he was in heaven if he could have indulged in his own therapeutic whirl bath.  Imagine soaking in your own whirlpool bath, bathed in an array of healing hues of colour.

The positive effect of colour on the human psyche has been medically proven, each colour having a different stimulus to the human psyche.  You choose to be relaxed or invigorated at a touch of a button.Your well being is maximised with a combined whirlpool and lighting system.

These baths are designed with you in mind, jets are inserted to massage back and feet immersing you totally in a therapeutic, soothing atmosphere designed for you in times of stress or pampering.

Flotation bath

If you have room for a bath then you also have room to create your own home spa experience.  The Nahho floatation bath, offers a completely different way of bathing.

The bather is able to stretch out fully, in fact floating, balanced by using the specially designed neck rest which just keeps the eyes and nose free of water.  With the Bluetooth connection favourite music is piped into the bath and the bather is totally immersed and wrapped in the luxury of weightlessness and music.

This bath has the look of a dug out canoe and promises an opportunity to just abandon yourself to the pure indulgent luxury of spending eons of time doing just want you want. Water and music, what an idyllic combination. I am just playing with the words of Lynden B Johnson now; as he said“Every man has a right to a Saturday night bath” with this bath you have the right to use it every day!

SunDeck bath

The Sundeck is made for just pure fun.The beauty of this bath is that it can be put into so many different areas of the home. In fact anywhere where there is a hot water connection. Purely to suit your own personal needs and requirements.

In the bathroom, built in, it doubles up as a couch by sliding across the upholstered cover. So handy if you are using it as a massage table or just for relaxing.

Baths with an effervescence technology

I took one look at this incredible overflowing bath and felt my senses soothed immediately. The water gently cascades continuously down the sides, inducing a slightly hypnotic state to the bather whilst listening to the rhythm of the water.

A combination of water and air gently caresses the body, it’s just like bathing with champagne bubbles bursting against the skin and being submerged in the coloured water helps relax the mind as well as the body.This bath has been created for a unique bathing experience, time has no meaning in this bath and I am now thinking of the words of Pablo Picasso, when I say “Everything is a miracle. It’s a miracle that one does not dissolve in the bath like a lump of sugar”.  You could certainly try!

Riverbath

What about bringing a rolling river into your home, into your bathroom to be more exact?  This bath combines waterfall effects with unique, innovative hydrotherapy massage treatments. Your bathroom can be transformed into your own personal health retreat.

The invigorating rush of the rapids, or the neck and shoulder massage are all available at the touch of a button.  Slide down into the bath and let the magical pull of each watery sensation enfold your body.

Optional chromotherapy provides the full spectrum of colour that completes the sensory experience that this bath gives you. I couldn’t leave this bath without quoting “Life is like a hot bath, feels good when you’re in it, but the longer you stay in the more wrinkled you get.”  I could easily spend half a day in this bath so remembering this quote will probably be good for me!!

Pure Copper Bath and Brass Bath

I was absolutely bedazzled with these beautiful handcrafted copper and brass baths.  They shone like jewels, the sun winking and caressing the warm colours making me feel so cosy and comfortable I felt like I had to climb in and try one.

If you want pampering then one of these baths is for you. Just looking at them soothes the mind and the body is sated with the tactile richness of the designs.

The bath retains the temperature of the water keeping both you and the water warm long after you have wrapped yourself up in a cosy fluffy towel.  The richness of the copper against the warmness of real wood lends itself towards such an inviting space to luxuriate in.  There are so many finishes with these handcrafted baths that I couldn’t choose just one. But if you wanted to match a radiator colour, then the inside of the bath can be coloured to any RAL colour making your bath personal to just you.

If you fall in love with it but want to move house then just take it with you, a wise investment for anyone.  With matching basins and even an ice bucket to cradle your  champagne in, go completely hedonistic and invest in a bath finished with gold leaf.  They say that “all that glitters, is not gold” but in this case that so, so special touch truly shows whose bathroom it is!
