Who are Alpine Spas™?

Alpine Spas™ is a New Zealand-owned spa retailer that launched in 2014 and entered the Australian market in 2022.

Their product line includes spa pools, swim spas, saunas and gazebos, sold under their own Alpine™ and Alpine Elite™ labels.

According to Alpine™, their spas are designed in partnership with the Canadian Spa Company® and manufactured in China by SunSpa®.

Where Are Alpine Spas™ Made?

Most Alpine Spas™ models are manufactured in China using timber frames. While affordable, timber can degrade over time if exposed to moisture.

Some higher-end Alpine Elite™ models feature injection-moulded plastic frames, a material used consistently across all Spa World™ brands due to its durability.

Managing Director

What Do Customers Say About Alpine Spas™?

Alpine Spas™ has high Google® star ratings, often 4.8 or 4.9. However, they don’t have a Trustpilot™ profile, which means their reviews aren’t independently verified.
