The Aurora is a large, open Core Series spa designed for buyers who want generous space and a social soaking experience without the cost of the Classic or Custom Series. Seven seats, a wide interior, and Arctic Spas’ standard full foam insulation make it an accessible path to a genuinely large hot tub.
TL;DR
- Large seven-person Core Series spa with 20 jets
- Wide, open layout designed for social soaking
- Full foam insulation and freeze protection as standard
- Salt water system available as an upgrade
- Best for families who prioritize space and social use over jet count
Who the Aurora Is Designed For
The Aurora suits buyers who want a large spa for social use — family gatherings, regular group soaks, households where multiple people use the spa on a daily basis. The emphasis is on generous seating and an open interior rather than concentrated therapeutic performance.
It also suits buyers who have priced out the Classic Series and found the Aurora represents a meaningful saving for a similar footprint and seating capacity.
Open Layout Design
The Aurora’s defining characteristic is its interior layout — open and wide, with seating designed to accommodate multiple bathers comfortably without a cramped feel. The lack of a high jet count means more of the interior is available as open space rather than being configured around jet clusters.
For social use, this is an advantage. For buyers who spend time alone in the spa and want to move through different therapeutic positions, the open layout gives them room to do that.
Soaking Performance
With 20 jets across a large interior, the Aurora is not a therapeutic spa in the traditional sense. The jet coverage at each seat is light compared to Classic or Custom models. For buyers who soak primarily to relax and socialize rather than to address specific physical needs, the coverage is sufficient.
The heat of the water, the buoyancy, and the social experience are the main appeal of the Aurora. Buyers who expect aggressive hydrotherapy from 20 jets across a seven-person interior will be disappointed — buyers who want a warm, spacious soak with friends and family will not.
Aurora vs. Orca: Two Large Core Options
Both the Aurora and Orca are large seven-person Core Series spas. The Orca has 40 jets and is more therapy-capable. The Aurora has 20 jets and prioritizes open, spacious soaking. Neither is superior — the choice depends on whether jet coverage or interior space is the priority.
Sitting in both at a Poolboy showroom makes the difference immediately clear.
New Brunswick Perspective
The Aurora is popular among New Brunswick families who use the spa as a gathering point during the winter. Buyers who purchase it often note that the social function of the spa — something they did not fully anticipate — turns out to be the main value. A large, open spa in a cold climate becomes the place where families actually spend time together between November and April.
