“ Now we understand what really affects our well-being — yes , it ’ s the environment around us and how we eat , but it ’ s also having a sense of purpose . In multigenerational homes in Europe and elsewhere , people feel they have purpose until the last day of their life .”

Amrit placed their 100,000 sq . ft . spa at the center of their residential community experience .
Looking Ahead
According to Griffin , most resorts with the space to add residences have likely already considered doing so ; if not , it ’ s advised that resort and spa owners look seriously at the idea of wellness community . “ I think the future for the development of wellness communities is very bright ,” says Kyricos , “ and I think we have a great opportunity to rethink how and where we live and work .” And because the biggest differentiator of a wellness community is its intent — its overall philosophy — Arjona implores others to make sure they ’ re building true wellness communities , rather than just engaging with a buzzword . “ I think that everyone should be building wellness communities , but I think that everyone should be doing it right . This is about the environment ; this is about space ; this is about breathing fresh air ; this is about humans touching humans .” Put like that , it ’ s easy to see why spas are now center-stage in the future of community-based living and retirement . n
