SOMETIMES, a relaxing spa weekend away is exactly what we need to help recharge our batteries.

The only problem is, it can come with quite the hefty price tag.


But one savvy woman, who is from the UK, has come up with the perfect solution to cut back costs – by recreating a spa in her very own back garden.

Gemma Markland posted a short story to TikTok and writes: "POV you don't need to pay to visit spa facilities because you basically turned your back garden into one."

She can then be seen showing a glimpse of her DIY-spa, which includes a hot tub, sun loungers and even a projector screen, so she can enjoy a film while taking a dip.

The post has since garnered over 278,000 views and received quite the positive reaction online

A further enthused: "Absolutely gorgeous, must be lush coming home to that every day!"

However, others expressed concern over the cost it takes to run a hot tub.

"Until you realise how much a hot tub costs to run and realise it would be cheaper to go to a spa," wrote one.

Gemma replied: "It’s really not that bad and a spa means other people are around."

"I think it’s around £30 a month and we have it on 24/7 and use it almost every day."

Elsewhere, one social media user asked: "How much of this can you leave outside though with English weather?!" to which Gemma replied: "Waterproof and we have covers."
