Luxury homes today, especially new construction luxury homes, are built to resemble resort-style residences. They’re escapes, destinations, villas, a paradise found just inside – or slightly beyond – your own front door. Let’s discuss the most popular wellness features and indulgences you’ll find in many high-end homes:
Gym
Luxury properties don’t just have gyms, they have gyms. ClassPass becomes unnecessary when you’ve built a world-class gym inside your home. These gyms feature weight rooms, treadmills, ellipticals, kettlebells, TVs, sound systems and in many luxury homes, incredible views that make a stunning scene while you sweat!
Infinity Pools
Like a five-star hotel in a haven far away, infinity pools can be the ultimate addition to a luxurious backyard scape. Wood, stone and steel elements often surround these pools, adding to the luxury of a pool that (seemingly) never ends, melting into beautiful views and sunset skies.
Spa-like Bathroom
Close your eyes and relax to the calming sounds of a running bath, surrounded by marble, glass, and all the spa-like elements that turn a bathroom into an oasis all its own! The color palette is also reminiscent of a day at the spa, with warm wood tones, soft minty greens, beiges and silvers.
Sauna
Whether it’s an indoor sauna or a standalone outdoor sauna, this feature is definitely hot in the wellness space of luxury living. Saunas can be custom-built, customized or ordered and installed as is, with different lumbers, wood colors, LED lighting and other features.
Salon
Why spend time driving to the hair salon when the hair salon can come to you? Many homes are transforming indoor spaces with comfortable hair-cutting chairs, cabinets for tools and mirrored walls for viewing that picture-perfect cut!
Fire and Water Features
Fire pits and water features have always been popular in luxury backyards but their inclusion adds to the resort-like ambience of outdoor spaces. Textured stone walls with gently falling water create an undeniable sense of calm, and red lava rocks or red clay bricks can add a pop of color to a relaxing event spent lounging in the quiet of your backyard.
So, whether you want a full-scale salon, a professional-grade gym or a freestanding sauna, adding wellness elements to your home won’t only enhance its wellness-factor but also make it that much more appealing to buyers whenever it comes time to sell!
