With buyers increasingly putting wellness at the top of their agenda when searching for a new home, and January being a month typically associated with health and new beginnings, what better time to explore some of London’s finest real estate offerings that provide residents with their very own sanctuaries for exercise and wellbeing, all within the comfort of their own home?
Gone are the days when super-prime real estate was solely about luxury. Today, it revolves around effortless convenience and a seamless blend of lifestyle and wellness. Wellness is no longer about intense workouts or running on a treadmill, but rather a holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle. This new era of wellbeing, coupled with a renewed perspective on fitness is inspiring the integration of features such as vitality swimming pools and serene yoga studios into luxury real estate across the capital.
As individuals become more health conscious and begin prioritising a work-life balance, there has been a growing demand for dedicated spaces that promote relaxation and rejuvenation at home.
There is no doubt that gyms are packed at this time of year, and opting for a home workout eliminates the need for dealing with crowds and endless queues. Home wellness spaces offer unparalleled convenience, presenting a persuasive motivation to stay committed to your goals, especially during these chilly winter months.
With this in mind, here are three luxury London developments that are equipped with the most stunning fitness and wellness facilities.
