The 6 Biggest Wellness Trends Coming In 2026
Wellness is on everyone’s mind. The industry, which McKinsey & Company reports is currently worth $2 trillion (£1.5 trillion), is continuing to dominate our collective interest. But what does wellness look like in 2026?
As we start to look ahead to next year, the state of wellness is all about growth and expansion. You can expect to find the following in the wellness space: Advancements in longevity (we mean legitimate, science-based ones over viral TikTok moments), how we approach GLP-1s, travelling with the sole purpose of working out our bodies and/or minds, and adding nutrients to more interesting and fun drink formats.
Below are the six wellness trends experts predict will be huge for 2026. Scroll through to see which ones should be on your radar.
Private members clubs: wellness edition
Private clubs have taken over as our proverbial third space. For 2026, these clubs are expanding more than ever into wellness spaces. Jonathan Leary, CEO and founder of Remedy Place in New York, tells Vogue he sees private wellness members clubs becoming the number one destination for milestone celebrations (think birthdays, hen parties etc), and personalised wellness programmes that focus on more proactive measures of self-care.
But, most importantly, Leary says what will really drive people to wellness members clubs is their hunger for a tranquil space away from all the digital noise. “They are the remedy to so many of the challenges we’re facing in the modern world,” he says. “People don’t feel good and people are lonely. The rise of AI and digital connection is only increasing the need for real, in-person experiences.”
“We are all craving something real,” agrees Alex Feldman, co-founder of wellness members club Saint. “The world has become so digitised and screen-obsessed that the most radical thing now is to actually feel something – to put your feet on real stone or to sit in a cedar-clad room with your phone completely out of reach.”
Saint, a private sauna and ice bath studio opening later this year in New York City, plans to lean more into personalised experiences for clients to give a more luxe private experience. “It is not about socialising and stereotypical wellness practices,” adds Amanda Hensen, co-founder of Saint, “but rather an intentional separation from the chaos of city life and an opportunity to reconnect to our inner stillness.”
The fitness travel boom
From the viral UCPA tennis adult summer camp in Chamonix to the ultimate luxe surf retreat with Surf Synergy Costa Rica, taking a vacation to reset will take on a whole new meaning in 2026 with the rise of fitness travel.
According to a recent 2025 wellness report by McKinsey & Company, the demand for in-person services, such as boutique fitness classes, has gone up in the travel space. The report states that 60 per cent of consumers who travelled for health and wellness treatments will continue to do so in future travels and 30 per cent of those who spent money on such activities would gladly spend more the next year. In 2025, this trend has only accelerated.
“People are very engaged in their wellness journey and do not want to pause it when they travel. Instead, they look for destinations where they can continue to train, recover properly and learn from experts,” says Abdoulaye Fadiga, founder of wellness resort Champion Spirit Country Club.
