This year’s forecast spotlights three major shifts transforming the industry: the rise of longevity and performance technologies, the resurgence of sound and communal bathing, and the evolution of community-rooted wellness destinations.
“As we step into 2026, the wellness landscape feels more intentional and more grounded than it has in years,” said Tracy Lee, Founder and President of TLEE Spas + Wellness. “After a long cycle of hype-driven products and fragmented trends, individuals are gravitating toward experiences that feel purposeful, sensorial, and rooted in results.”
The Longevity Boom
One of the clearest movements gaining momentum is the rise of longevity and performance-driven wellness. Once reserved for elite training environments and bio-optimization circles, longevity has now entered the mainstream, reshaping design, hospitality, and personal routines. Across TLEE Spas’ portfolio, performance lounges are emerging in new forms such as Paris Hilton’s at-home longevity suite, and a comprehensive tech-forward offering at the upcoming W Hotel & Residences in Calgary, Alberta.
