How Luxury Wellness Amenities Add Value to Rental Properties
The difference between a good rental and a great one is the experience. Guests and tenants want spaces that help them recover, relax, and feel their best. Here’s how wellness amenities—saunas, hot tubs, cold plunges, massage chairs, and red light—translate into higher demand, premium pricing, and stronger long-term value.

Why Wellness Is the New Luxury
High-end travelers and renters are seeking homes that go beyond aesthetics. Private, in-unit wellness is now a differentiator that increases booking speed, extends length of stay, and strengthens reviews—especially across platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo.
Top Wellness Features That Add Real Value
1) Infrared or Traditional Saunas
Compact infrared models drop into closets or small wellness nooks. Traditional heaters provide the classic heat-and-steam ritual. Either way, a premium sauna instantly signals luxury.
2) Cold Plunge Tubs
Once reserved for athletes, cold plunges are a top guest favorite for recovery and energy. They photograph beautifully and perform year-round.
3) Hot Tubs & Hydrotherapy
Extend outdoor living through all seasons. A hot tub remains one of the highest-ROI amenities across short-term rentals.
4) Smart Massage Chairs
Zero-gravity, heat, and body scanning deliver spa-quality sessions on demand. Great for suites and media rooms. Explore chairs.
5) Red Light Therapy
Forward-thinking, wellness-tech edge that guests rave about. Add a small corner or pair with fitness gear. See devices.
