Did you follow along HGTV’s Ultimate House Hunt Contest? While the winners have already been selected, I still cannot get enough of the stunning homes featured in the contest. There are some serious drool-worthy designs in this year’s homes. What I really loved were the luxury bathrooms, and they all seemed to have one major thing in common: a freestanding soaker tub.

I’m not sure you can expect much more out of life besides a soaking tub with a view of the ocean in Hawaii! This Haena, Hawaii, home won the Glass House division of HGTV’s Ultimate House Hunt, and I’m sure the bathroom views played a little role in that.
If this freestanding tub isn’t enough for you, there are TWO showers. Looks like a new pharmaceutical commercial. (Wink, wink!)
I love how the contemporary lines of this bathroom are carried throughout the space, from the window, to the wall niche and the soaker tub. The visual interest comes from the views of the desert outside and is pulled inside with accenting cactus.
I love the drama in this bathroom. The tub pops against the dark background of the floor and wall tile, which create an intimate yet contemporary surrounding.
Another big thing in luxury bathrooms right now are wet rooms that feature both an open shower (or two) and a freestanding tub. This wet room includes a view of the private pool at this Palm Springs estate.
Soaker tubs work in traditional design too. The oval shape of this slipper tub is mimicked in the detail of the tray ceiling and vanity fronts.
