The Makena® is a six-person hot tub from the Paradise® Series, the mid-tier hydrotherapy line manufactured by Caldera Spas, a Watkins Wellness brand. Measuring 7'5" square and holding 395 gallons of water, the Makena combines a full-body UltraMassage® lounge with five additional seats, 46 jets across four configurations, and a salt-water-ready FreshWater® IQ-ready sanitization system. The Makena handles daily relaxation, family gatherings, and entertaining alike, it is the largest lounger-equipped Paradise model and a defining choice for households that want full hydrotherapy variety in a six-person footprint. The Makena is sold and serviced through Seven Seas Pools & Spas.
6 adults (1 lounger, 5 seats)
7'5" × 7'5" × 36" tall (226 × 226 × 91 cm)
46 total across 4 configurations
2 ReliaFlo® (1 dual-speed 2.5 HP, 1 single-speed 2.5 HP, 5.2 BHP each) plus an EnergyPro® circulation pump
The Makena fits households where multiple people use the spa together, couples who entertain, families with adult or teen children, and anyone who wants a single hot tub that handles solo soaks and full-group sessions equally well. Its lounger plus five upright seats give every person a distinct hydrotherapy experience, and the six-station Hot Tub Circuit Therapy® sequence turns moving seat-to-seat into a guided full-body massage. The Makena fits if you want Paradise-tier seat-massage variety, including the deep-pressure Euphoria® jet, without stepping up to the premium Utopia line.

The Makena is designed around Hot Tub Circuit Therapy®, Caldera's term for moving seat-to-seat across a planned sequence so each muscle group gets a dedicated treatment. On the Makena, the circuit runs through six stations targeting the neck, back, calves, thighs, and feet. A typical circuit starts in the UltraMassage® Lounge for full-body relaxation (neck, shoulders, full back, calves, and feet engaged simultaneously by the Sole Soothers® and Angled Calf Jets), moves to the EcstaSeat® for large-muscle back work plus calf and foot jets, settles into the LumbarSsage® Seat for lower-back tension, and finishes at the Euphoria® jet seat delivering deep pressure to thighs, knees, calves, and feet. The Foot Ridge® anchors you in place so you can lean into higher-pressure jets without drifting.
Two ReliaFlo® 2.5 HP pumps deliver more head pressure than the single-pump Kauai or Martinique, which translates into stronger jet feel across the larger 46-jet array.

With FreshWater® IQ Ready, week-to-week maintenance reduces to monitoring smart alerts in the Caldera Spas App and replacing the salt cartridge when prompted. Filter cleaning runs on the standard monthly cadence for a 75 sq. ft. cartridge, see the filter care guide in the owners area.
For broader guidance, the salt-water hot tub care guide in the owners area covers cartridge replacement, ozone interaction (note: ozone is not compatible with FreshWater IQ), and seasonal draining intervals.
Yes, the lounger plus five upright seats means four people each get a seat with personalized jet coverage, with two seats free for guests. For households of two to three, the Kauai® or Martinique® are more efficient choices.
The Paradise Series is engineered for low operating cost via FiberCor® insulation, the EnergyPro® heater, and a continuous-run circulation pump. Actual monthly electrical cost depends on local utility rates, ambient temperature, and use frequency. The CEC certification means the Makena meets California's strict energy standards, which is a useful proxy for efficiency if you live elsewhere. Ask a Seven Seas advisor for an operating-cost estimate based on your climate and electricity rate.
