Canadian design studio GOODLAND, celebrated for its refined approach to modern outdoor living, has unveiled its most communal creation yet: the Group Wood Burning Hot Tub. This spacious evolution of their beloved original tub is meticulously crafted not for solitude, but for shared moments, transforming backyards, retreats, and boutique rentals into hubs of warmth, conversation, and pure, unadulterated presence.
Born from the studio’s core ethos of slowing down and fostering deep connections with nature and each other, the Group Tub embodies a ritual free from digital distraction. There are no screens, cords, or pumps – just the elemental combination of fire and water, inviting families, friends, and guests to gather for an immersive, unplugged ritual.
Designed explicitly for groups, this hot tub comfortably accommodates four or more adults. Its generous proportions allow everyone to truly sink in, stretch out, and experience the unique comfort of shared soaking. The heart of the experience is the integrated, oversized fire-powered stove. Remarkably efficient, it heats the water to blissful temperatures in just 2–3 hours using a few armfuls of firewood, making the anticipation part of the journey.
True to GOODLAND‘s commitment to enduring quality and responsible design, the Group Tub is made in Canada using exceptional materials selected for longevity and minimal environmental footprint. The structure combines robust marine-grade aluminum with beautifully hand-sanded western red cedar, renowned for its natural resistance and warmth. Crucially, these materials are fully recyclable, reflecting a thoughtful lifecycle approach.
Simplicity reigns supreme. The tub boasts a revolutionary tool-free setup. Forget complex plumbing, electrical hookups, or noisy pumps. Filling requires only a simple water source, embodying true off-grid soaking freedom. This ease makes it ideal for diverse settings, from family cabins and personal sanctuaries to short-term rentals and boutique accommodations seeking to offer a memorable, experiential amenity.
“The Group Tub was designed to take everything people love about our original Wood Burning Hot Tuband make it easy to share,” explains Craig Pearce, Founder and Creative Director at GOODLAND. “Whether you’re hosting guests, creating moments with family, or building something special into a retreat, this tub is fundamentally about connection, simplicity, and being truly present.”
More than just a vessel for warm water, the GOODLAND Group Wood Burning Hot Tub is an invitation. It’s an architect of meaningful moments, a catalyst for conversation under the stars, and a handcrafted testament to the power of gathering around elemental warmth. It redefines the outdoor gathering space, offering a uniquely Canadian, deeply resonant experience built for togetherness.
