WELLNESS REAL ESTATE: THE NEW LUXURY STANDARD
The wellness revolution is transforming luxury real estate, with health and wellness features evolving from optional amenities to essential elements of high-end properties This shift, accelerated by the pandemic, has fundamentally changed buyer expectations and redefined what constitutes luxury in today’s market.
The Global Wellness Institute reports that the wellness real estate market has expanded dramatically, growing from $438 billion in 2023 to a projected $913 billion by 2028. Australia has emerged as a significant player in this market, ranking tenth globally in overall wellness economy size ($126.68 billion) and an impressive seventh in wellness spending per capita at $4,824 per person The Australian wellness economy now represents 7.27 per cent of the country’s GDP, highlighting the sector’s growing economic importance
This growth trend is particularly noteworthy in the post-pandemic landscape, where Australia’s wellness economy has reached 134 per cent of its pre-pandemic level, outpacing many other markets. Nearly one third of Australia’s wellness market expansion since 2019 has been driven by wellness real estate, reflecting a fundamental shift in how homebuyers view their living spaces and establishing Australia as the world’s fourthlargest wellness real estate market as of 2023

SHIFTING EXPECTATIONS IN LUXURY REAL ESTATE
The traditional markers of luxury real estate have undergone a remarkable transformation While spacious floor plans and premium locations remain important, buyers now expect properties to actively contribute to their physical and mental wellbeing
Previously, luxury homes emphasised entertainment spaces like home theatres, wine cellars, and game rooms Today’s luxury buyers prioritise wellness facilities, often allocating prime floorspace to these areas In space-constrained properties, wellness features now take precedence over once-standard inclusions
The expectations have shifted from passive luxury to active wellness Buyers want homes that not only impress guests but also support their daily health routines, from morning workouts to evening relaxation rituals This represents a fundamental change in how luxury homeowners interact with their living spaces
THE AUSTRALIAN WELLN ESTATE ADVANTAGE
Australia is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the wellness real estate trend The country’s abundant natural light, favourable climate, and connection to outdoor living create an ideal foundation for wellnessfocused properties From beachside developments featuring saltwater pools and coastal walking trails, to urban properties with rooftop gardens and wellness facilities, Australian luxury properties increasingly emphasise connection to the natural environment
In major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, luxury developments are integrating wellness amenities that rival five-star resort spas These features include not only physical facilities but also programming elements like in-house wellness consultants, nutrition services, and fitness coaching
Regional markets are also seeing increased demand for wellness features, particularly in areas known for their natural beauty and lifestyle benefits Coastal regions, wine countries, and mountain retreats are becoming wellness real estate hotspots, where luxury properties are designed to maximise connection with the natural environment
Buyers wanthomes that not only impress guests but also support their daily health routines, from morning workouts to evening relaxation rituals.
