Today we’re sharing our gallery of images of luxury primary bathrooms centered around soaking tubs.

Soaking tubs are deeper than standard bathtubs, allowing for greater immersion and comfort than is possible with a traditional bathtub. These bathtubs come in a range of appearance and capabilities.

The depth of a soaking tub allows a bather to be immersed in water up to the neck while sitting upright, granting that serene comfort and relaxation a standard, shallow tub cannot provide.

Soaking tubs come in several different varieties. These include garden tubs, which may be found in a sunroom with a garden view; Roman tubs, which are fitted onto a deck and that people lower themselves into; and Japanese tubs, which are the deepest tubs and have room for a person to soak her entire body.

Of the various types of bathtub enclosure, the ones featured today typically fit into an alcove or drop-in enclosure, with three walls surrounding the tub itself. This allows the soaking tub to take up as little floor space as possible while remaining comfortably sized.

We hope this collection may be as inspiring for you as it is for us. It’s impossible to look at these luxurious bathrooms and not dream of relaxing inside.
