Everyone is talking about the ever-growing relevance of wellness travel, and it’s not expected to stop as more people are wanting to take trips that include activities to improve their health and well-being. According to research by McKinsey, nearly 60% of consumers who traveled for health and wellness treatments in 2024 said they expect to travel for these same treatments in 2025.
As such, today’s affluent travelers crave bespoke and enriching wellness experiences that are seamlessly integrated into their stay and not found at a typical spa. To cater to demand, luxury hotels are elevating the guest experience with truly special spa amenities that foster and enhance holistic well-being.
These luxury hotels provide one-of-a-kind spa and wellness perks for guests.
