10 Ways to Create a Wellness Retreat-Inspired Vacation Rental
The wellness industry is booming and is trickling into every industry, including the hospitality/ vacation rental industry, and the top performers are already integrating it into their business model. While it may be trending everywhere, I have always been a big proponent of this, after battling my own health issues that led me down the path of healthy, non-toxic living.
Here are my top 10 recommendations!
1. Organic non-toxic sheets from Pact
White, organic cotton, crisp sheets are a MUST for a successful vacation or retreat experience that feels elevated, clean and wholesome.
2. Organic Hybrid Mattress by Awara
Speaking of rest, a good mattress is absolutely essential for a deep night’s rest that is rejuvenating and puts your guest in a positive mood.
3. Air Purifier by Sans
A air purifier even in a relatively low pollutant area, is a great investment as it is noticed by discerning guests who have health in mind. VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), are a big contributor to indoor air pollution which is found in common household goods. It also keeps the air smelling fresh during and in-between guests stays.
4. Reverse Osmosis water system by Sans
If your area does not have access to high-quality, clean drinking water, some type of water system is absolutely essential for your highly discerning guests and eliminates the need for buying plastic water bottles. This can be added as a value in your nightly rate and selling point as well.
5. Clean Amenity Products by Public Goods
After years in the hospitality industry, guests ALWAYS notice the quality of your amenity products. Clean, animal-cruelty free products is your gateway to a stay that is memorable and distinguished from the average hotel stay at a resort.
6. Sauna by Almost Heaven
High-value amenities like saunas and cold plunges, allow you to raise your nightly rate and attract health-conscious travelers to stay in your premium wellness oriented vacation rental.
7. High quality non-toxic furniture
Furniture and textiles are a major source of VOC’s that contribute to poor indoor air quality. High quality furniture will not only last longer, it will attract guests willing to pay higher nightly rates. Companies like Sabai Designs, and Medley, are amazing companies with high quality non-toxic furniture
8. Black-out curtains from Etsy
Even small amounts of light can disrupt sleep patterns. It is important to invest in black-out curtains that give your guests a deep, restful night of sleep.
9. Natural textures bring nature in
People are longing for a connection to nature more than ever, materials like sheepskin, stone, wood, and fibers like wool, cotton, linen create a harmonic environment that is simple, down-to-earth and restorative,
