Wellness trips are booming—and expected to top $1.4 trillion by 2027. In 2026, travelers will blend fitness, relaxation, and adventure more than ever. From yoga retreats to “race-cations,” people want vacations that leave them feeling stronger and more balanced.
Wellness and Timesharing
In a nationwide survey of 500 U.S. travelers and timeshare owners:
- 74% of timeshare owners plan to prioritize health and wellness on their next vacation (vs. 59% overall)
- 77% are choosing trips that blend movement, recovery, and adventure (vs. 62%)
Gen Z and millennials — now the majority of the nearly 10 million U.S. timeshare owners — are driving this shift, favoring flexible, points-based travel that supports longer stays and healthier routines across bucket list destinations.
What does wellness travel actually look like in vacation ownership? It changes with the landscape. In vacation ownership, wellness is more than a retreat. It’s a rhythm. Picture this:
- Mountain mornings built around movement: Sunrise hikes and wildlife spotting just steps from your home base at WorldMark West Yellowstone, where you can explore solo or take advantage of the WorldMark by Wyndham Hiking Concierge Program.
- High-altitude adventure with built-in recovery: Ski days, trail runs, and summer hikes in Utah, followed by pool time and spa unwinding at Westgate Park City Resort & Spa.
- Desert solitude that resets the system: Red rock hikes, vortex views, and quiet stargazing evenings near Sedona Summit, a Hilton Vacation Club, where you’ll remain in do not disturb mode.
- Plenty of Vitamin Sea: Surf lessons and long coastal walks at Club Wyndham Oceanside Pier Resort and underwater snorkeling and Scuba diving to explore coral reefs at Hyatt Vacation Club at Beach House, Key West.
- Full fitness universe within the resort: Outdoor fitness classes, beachfront infinity-pool recovery, and heavenly spa time overlooking the Caribbean at The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort Villas & Spa.
