The busy (and sometimes unhealthy) lifestyles we lead have resulted in an increase in stress, anxiety and chronic illnesses. The Covid-19 pandemic has only exacerbated these trends, and, according to The Global Wellness Institute, interest in wellness is now at an all-time high.

As such, it comes as no surprise that wellness real estate, which refers to homes being designed and built to support the wellbeing of residents, has taken off. Now that we are spending more time indoors than ever before, it makes sense that our homes should be an investment in our wellbeing.

From increasing property value to enjoying more privacy and even improving the immune system - investing in a high-end home gym or spa has a number of benefits that every homeowner should know about.

As such, it is becoming increasingly important for hotels to position themselves as well being escapes by offering wellness amenities such as a spa.

As humans, we’re now more conscious of our physical and mental health than ever before as we try to incorporate ways to reduce stress in our everyday lives. 

Wellness real estate: the rise of the home gym and spa

This has brought about a trend known as wellness real estate, where homes are proactively designed and built to support the holistic wellbeing of residents.

Exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, we now spend the majority of our time at home. It’s thus only logical that our home should also be an investment in our health and wellbeing.

More and more individuals are now opting for home gyms and spas - with an (immersive) twist. Designing a space to provide an immersive experience means it can reduce stress and promote wellbeing like never before.

For hotels trying to stay competitive, improving customer experience goes well beyond having a good booking process, excellent front desk experience or top notch room service. With interest in health and wellness at an all-time high, hotels that provide excellent fitness facilities will find themselves well ahead of guest demand. Below, we’ve listed some of the many ways that different hotel gym designs will boost guest experience and increase repeat business.
