How much does the Caldera Makena cost?
The Caldera Makena carries a list price of $17,499. Delivered cost usually lands above that once site prep, electrical hookup, steps and a cover lifter are added, and below it when a dealer is clearing floor models.
Specs driving that price: 6 seats, 46 jets, 2 pumps, a 89"x89"x36" footprint, plus saltwater compatibility. Larger cabinets, more pumps and higher jet counts push both list price and running cost up.
At $17,499 MSRP, the Makena sits at the upper half of the Caldera hot tub lineup, which lists from $8,999 to $26,999.
Worth comparing: Caldera Ravello for a lower list price, or Caldera Florence a step up. See the full Caldera lineup.
