While a visit to the local day spa has long been a go-to for relaxation and self-care, many homeowners are now bringing the spa experience into their own homes. Personal wellness spaces are becoming an integral part of modern home design, offering an everyday escape from the stresses of life while promoting long-term health benefits.
Today’s home spa retreats go beyond a simple sauna or steam room. Many are designed as part of a holistic wellness zone, incorporating multiple elements to support both physical and mental wellbeing. Depending on your space and lifestyle, your wellness area might include:
- A traditional or infrared sauna – ideal for detoxification, improved circulation, and muscle relaxation
- Cold therapy (ice bath or plunge pool) – popular among athletes and wellness enthusiasts for reducing inflammation, boosting recovery, and increasing energy levels
- Jacuzzi or hydrotherapy spa – perfect for stress relief and easing muscle tension
- Mineral swimming pool – mineral-based sanitisation systems not only create healthier water to swim in but also provide options for people with sensitive skin conditions
Australian made products like Oxiswim, Poppits, and Vitale Mineral Salts — all formulated by Waterco — are helping pave the way for homeowners to reduce their exposure to chemicals while infusing spa and pool water with gentle, skin-friendly properties that promote relaxation and provide peace of mind for families. And when you install Climate Care Certified filtration, sanitisation, and cleaning equipment into these spaces, you can significantly reduce water and energy consumption, creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly wellness retreat at home.
Investing in a home spa retreat is about more than just luxury — it’s about prioritising health, wellbeing, and daily rejuvenation. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, better sleep, or an immune-boosting routine, a dedicated wellness space can support your lifestyle and create a personal sanctuary right at home.
The preferred choice for swimming pool and spa builders around the world
Wellness has become a major force in the global tourism market and destinations offering premium aquatic facilities are a large drawcard for travellers.
Research released last year from non-profit the Global Wellness Institute (GWI)1 revealed that the wellness economy reached a whopping $5.6 trillion in 2022. It also revealed that the $819.4 billion wellness trips taken (both internationally and domestically) that same year represented 7.8 per cent of all tourism trips — a significantly larger share of the market than the previous decade.
Savvy operators like Third Space — one of London’s premium members-only health clubs — understand that world-class wellness sanctuaries rely on water for their pool and spa treatments.
“Third Space is more than a gym — it’s a sanctuary for health enthusiasts, a hub for community engagement, and a haven for those seeking holistic wellness,” explains Waterco Europe CEO Tony Fisher. “With its sleek design, state-of-the-art facilities, and innovative approach to fitness, Third Space’s location in Wimbledon has quickly become a beacon for individuals striving to elevate their wellbeing in both body and mind.”
Designed by Essex-based Aquascapes — recipients of multiple UK Pool and Spa Awards — Wimbledon’s state-of-the-art aquatic facilities depend on the most reliable water filtration equipment in the market: Waterco.
“As a prestigious health club in the heart of Wimbledon, the equipment had to be of the highest quality, which is why Waterco was the preferred choice for Aquascapes,” he explains.
