Did you know that the wellness industry is one of the most profitable in the world, generating over $4.5 trillion per year? As the past years have called for adaptation, we see more and more properties offering in-home wellness zones or apartments with hot tubs. The ability to cater your wellness space to your own spa needs allows for a better work-life balance, leading to more relaxation during the day.
An everyday health routine is effortless in houses with saunas — with their soothing natural aromas, clean-lined wood planks, and often striking volcanic-like coals. Also, it is known that a few minutes spent in the sauna occasionally stimulates blood flow, releases endorphins, and improves physical and mental health.
