""It's an amenity that many aren't willing to compromise on, even looking to build full-floor health and wellness centers at home to replicate their experience abroad. "I always get calls from clients that want their home to feel like the Aman they went to," says Aaron Kirman, a real estate agent based in Los Angeles. "A lot of savvy developers have really taken that strategy and made it work for them.""
""At the moment, Kirman has the solution: A hillside mansion designed by Paul McClean that he's co-listing with Tomer Fridman. Included in the 24,000-sq-ft amenity package is a wood-clad home spa that's kitted out with a hot tub, a steam shower, and an infrared sauna. A massage room, a private basketball court, and a gym are located in separate, adjoining rooms.""
""This level of customization and square footage wasn't always commonplace. In the past, home spas were tucked away, rather than showcased across an entire floor. "They used to be integrated or retrofitted in bathrooms, or wherever we could fit them," says Francis Nicdao, principal and chief creative officer at interior design firm Pembrooke & Ives. "Now, they're part of the initial conversation regarding the scope of the house.""
Affluent homeowners are building full-floor, resort-style wellness centers to replicate luxury spa experiences at home. Developers and designers increasingly plan spa spaces from initial design stages, offering extensive customization and square footage. Examples include a Paul McClean-designed mansion with a 24,000-square-foot amenity package featuring a wood-clad home spa, hot tub, steam shower, infrared sauna, massage room, private basketball court, and gym. Home spas have shifted from tucked-in or retrofitted features to destination spaces requested by clients, who now ask for cold plunge pools, dry saunas, and float tanks. The priority is creating a social, restorative haven that residents will use.
