And it’s already arrived in Durham.
Around the world, luxury resorts are evolving into full-fledged longevity destinations. They offer more than ocean views and spa treatments—they offer designed to help guests live longer, sharper, more vibrant lives.
This is not a fad. It’s a global health movement.
From hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to IV nutrient infusions, infrared saunas, and PEMF therapy, travelers are increasingly seeking medical-grade wellness experiences as part of their lifestyle—and investing in their health the same way they invest in travel, fitness, or real estate.
According to the Global Wellness Institute, wellness tourism is projected to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2025. And within that growth, longevity-focused travel is quickly becoming the gold standard of high-end hospitality.
The New Standard
Medical-Grade Wellness
Traditional wellness spas are being reimagined with clinical-grade tools and scientific validation. Today’s discerning health-seekers want more than ambiance—they want results.
That’s why top-tier hospitality brands are integrating:
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation
Intravenous Nutrient Therapy to enhance recovery, immunity, and performance
Infrared Saunas to support detox, cardiovascular health, and mental clarity
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Devices to boost circulation and cellular energy
As highlighted in Hospitality Net, luxury resorts are racing to redefine wellness not as a passive amenity, but as a core value proposition that can impact biological aging and future health outcomes.
