From inflatable drinks holders to LED lights, these are surefire ways to make your tub more fun and practical.

Hot tubs are notorious for creating a relaxing and rejuvenating experience (and for providing an ideal way to cool down in the blazing sun), but do you have all the right hot tub accessories to take your comfort level up a notch?

Whether you're hosting friends or winding down with a glass of bubbly, there are plenty of hot tub accessories for every hot tub occasion. A few fun accessories to get your hands on include inflatable drinks holders, under-water disco lights, padded pillows, canopies to shield you from the summer sun, and floating side trays — ideal for grazing on nibbles as you relax.

If you're looking for more than one accessory, John Lewis is selling this multi-pack featuring a light, foot bath and drinks holder, and we love this personalised hot tub sign from Notonthehighstreet.com for creating a warm welcome in the garden. Meanwhile, a worthwhile investment is this rattan spa surround from All Round Fun, which enables you to store and organise all your hot tub accessories within arm's reach.

Adding ambience to any body of water, Amazon's floating pool lights are the ultimate way to brighten up any hot tub. With battery life lasting 180 hours, the colours will change throughout the night.

Complete the atmosphere outside with this floating spa lamp. Simply pop on the water's surface, turn the batteries on and it will emit a colourful glow.

This accessory isn't technically for putting inside the hot tub, but we think it's perfect to place on a nearby table as you relax. With a wireless range of 25 metres, it can be used for up to eight hours without charge and also changes colour.
