The hottest wellness
trend for 2025?
LIVING LONGER
Luxury wellness in 2025 is no longer defined by indulgent treatments or spa retreats on Caribbean islands. Breakthroughs in the fields of genetics, cellular biology and preventative medicine mean that the ideal of ‘ageing gracefully’ is increasingly being replaced by that of ageing purposefully. Rather than solely talking about living longer, today’s longevity experts are instead discussing ‘healthspan’, i.e. how mobile, cognisant and capable you will be in the last decade of life.
“Longevity challenges the notion of inevitable decline, shifting our mindset and setting a new standard in ageing,” says Dr Mohammed Enayat, founder of HUM2N, a health club and longevity clinic in South Kensington. HUM2N’s clients – including Orlando Bloom and Anthony Joshua – seek bespoke strategies that blend cutting-edge science such as epigenetics and cryotherapy with bespoke preventative healthcare. “My approach focuses on identifying disease processes earlier, simpler interventions and increasing quality of life,” Enayat adds.

WHY LONGEVITY MATTERS NOW
Data-driven healthcare and wearable technologies like WHOOP have made it easier to tailor longevity protocols to individual needs. With the global population aged 65 and older predicted to reach 1.6 billion by 2050, it’s unsurprising that enhancing quality of life has become a top priority.
However, the phenomenon also ties into a wider cultural narrative that sees experiences, health and time – rather than physical possessions – as the ultimate luxuries. This fundamental shift in consumer values began in earnest during the 2008 recession and gathered pace post-pandemic. According to McKinsey’s recent Future of Wellness report, 60% of consumers already consider it ‘very’ or’ extremely’ important to purchase longevity-boosting products or services, while 70% of UK consumers have purchased more in this category in the past year than ever before.

At Studio Lodha, designing for well-being involves crafting spaces that prioritise comfort, tranquillity and connection. A home should serve as more than just a residence it should be a sanctuary that allows for rejuvenation and peace of mind. Thoughtful design elements, such as soft, warm lighting, natural fibres and rich textures, play a pivotal role in promoting this sense of well-being. For instance, warm lighting fosters a calming atmosphere, while natural materials like linen and wool provide an inherent sense of groundedness. Wood, in particular, offers significant benefits, with research published in the Journal of Health Psychology demonstrating its ability to reduce stress and encourage relaxation.
