Afternoons spent pursuing health and wellness by receiving peptide and hormone therapy, IV vitamin infusions, and astrologically tailored sound bath sessions bleed into nights enjoying responsibly farmed meals scored by a live DJ set. That’s what a typical day-to-night may look like if you’re a member of Higher Order, a new luxury wellness members club in Palm Beach.
And you don’t have to live in South Florida to experience this haute wellness lifestyle. The phenomenon is happening worldwide. In London, Tramp Health—a 16,000-square-foot wellness offshoot of the exclusive storied members’ social club of the same name once frequented by everyone from the Rolling Stones to Princess Margaret—is set to debut in 2026. Soho House has expanded its wellness retreat concept with a second Soho Farmhouse on Ibiza (land of nightlife bacchanalia). And in Australia, upscale wellness club Saint Haven is unveiling an ultra-luxe “wellness cathedral” in south Melbourne, with plans to expand to the US and UAE.
Social clubs for a post-fun era
The rise of wellness clubs follows the just-post-pandemic surge of a new generation of members’ clubs—New York City’s Zero Bond, Chez Margaux, Casa Cipriani, and The Ned NoMad among them. These spaces offer a modern take on the traditional members-only club, blending the usual exclusivity with social engagement, effectively rebranding old-school exclusivity as curated social connection for a post-nightlife generation. “It’s like having [a nightclub] without the door guy,” nightlife impresario Richie Akiva told Vanity Fair in 2022. Now a second wave of clubs is gathering members to pursue not just connection but reinvention though collectively seeking better health.
The timing of the wellness pivot just makes sense. A 2025 Gallup poll shows alcohol consumption at its lowest level in ninety years, a trend led by millennials and Gen Z, who, influenced by recent, large-scale studies indicating that, as The Lancet writes, “the level of consumption that minimizes health loss is zero,” believe that even the slightest amount of alcohol is terrible for health.
A McKinsey report identifies those same cohorts as the driving force behind the $2 trillion wellness economy. Wellness has become such a priority that Moss, a recently opened members-only social club in New York is allocating 10,000 more square feet to wellness amenities than to dining and social spaces. Less dancing until 4 a.m. and reduced alcohol intake are the perfect cocktail for the holistic lifestyle club to flourish.
The aesthetics of wellness
Despite their self-care mission, wellness clubs, perhaps surprisingly, look a lot like their debauched nightlife counterparts (or progenitors, depending on how you look at wilting nightlife culture). And that’s intentional. “We’re really doubling down on making being well sexy,” says Higher Order’s co-owner Brittany Brown. The club’s interior designer, Nicole Alexandra Nowinski, who is also Brown’s sister, adds: “We want to take that white-coat feeling out of absolutely everything.”
The intention to eliminate that clinical vibe from wellness spaces is clearly visible in every corner of Higher Order’s spaces. At the “alchemy bar,” members rest chakra-aligned elixirs and zero-proof cocktails on a deep mahogany and tempest quartzite countertop, alongside brass ashtrays cradling burning sage and palo santo that recall the smoke-tinged indulgence of a night-life venue. Alabaster pendants hang overhead while back-lit mirrors shimmer across walls throughout rooms, evoking an almost hedonistic glamour.
“You know when you go into a bar and you have those lights that make everyone look good? That’s basically the goal,” Nowinski stresses. “We wanted to create a sanctuary where elevated design and Mother Nature converge for a deeply grounding experience—spaces that feel meaningful, but also make people want to linger.”
Remedy Place, which debuted in Los Angeles in 2021 as a self-described “social wellness club,” takes a similarly moody approach, but with more of an earthy elegance. “You often see wellness done in a Scandinavian style or really bright lights or everything's white,” says Jason St. John, cofounder of Bells + Whistles, Remedy Place’s designers. “As nice as Scandi can be, it’s too sterile for relaxing. It’s important that people’s third space feels luxurious.” Remedy Place’s Brutalist interiors blend muted blacks and mushroom tones with lush velvet-draped beds, Venetian plaster, hammered stone, and abundant greenery, creating a highly sensorial environment.
Social by design
Community is central to the wellness club model, with the social factor playing just as important a part as self-care, and design calibrated to encourage mingling. Movement studios, treatment rooms, coworking nooks, and lounges allow members to naturally cross paths throughout their visit. Higher Order reinforces this with weekly themed programming where classes, treatments, and elixirs align around an astrological sign or seasonal shift, so that individual rituals feel communal.
At Remedy Place, spatial design is treated as a social catalyst. “Most treatments can be done solo, but we created rooms that partners or friends can share,” says Bells + Whistles cofounder Barbara Rourke. St. John adds that the entire floor plan was built around connection: “We arranged the lounge and ice baths so people interact and decompress together. We had discussions with the founder of Remedy Place about the idea of making things private, but we all realized that the exciting part is being there with other people.”
As Fieg tells it, Kith Ivy grew from a desire to let brand loyalists “experience Kith through different facets of life.” A padel enthusiast, he imagined a place where sport could operate as a social and wellness anchor rather than a standalone amenity. “Sport is a part of health and wellness,” the lifestyle visionary emphasizes. The result? A temple to wellness that encompasses a three-court complex, the first Armani-branded spa outside an Armani hotel, a gym, an outpost of the Moroccan-inspired Café Mogador, and a Kith x Wilson boutique offering exclusive club merchandise, all articulated by interior designer Lauren Mishaan.
Sports notwithstanding, the club’s hub, dubbed the living room, is a richly atmospheric gathering place layered with green and burgundy velvets, a fireplace, a library wall, vintage Persian rugs, and dark rosewood details. “I wanted a space that feels like an Ivy League library,” Fieg says, although its soft lighting and plush textures are also evocative of a high-end dance floor. For those concerned about their health but nostalgic for tipsy nights, a pair of back-lit bars—one pouring tonics by Erewhon, the other cocktails—acknowledges that wellness and indulgence can comfortably coexist. “Serving alcohol,” Fieg says, “is part of the social setting we’re creating.” Turns out wellness can come with or without a buzz.
