Clinique La Prairie Residences in AMAALA
Luxury wellness used to be easy to recognize. There was usually a meditation pavilion, a tranquil spa treatment room, or a yoga deck facing the ocean. It looked beautiful, but it often felt reserved for tourists on vacation.
That model is changing fast. Wellness is moving beyond the resort spa into the places people live, work, recover, and age. It is appearing in private clubs, medical centers, residential towers, remote island developments, and entire communities planned around health from the start.
That shift is the central theme of the 2026 Global Wellness Summit’s Global Glimpse survey, which frames wellness not as an amenity but as a development strategy. Increasingly, it is built into architecture, hospitality, healthcare, investment, and daily routines.
