This outdoor bath set up in a secluded area behind the house looks like a perfect spa experience to me. The botanicals in the water certainly help make it a relaxing and memorable experience, but it isn’t necessary.

If you have access to an old tub, set it into a base of stone surrounded by the natural privacy screen trees provide. What a great spot to watch the sunrise!
