Tapping into trends: boosting profits with low-investment wellbeing integrations
New Year, New Stay Experiences. Enter your holiday rental into the era of wellbeing stays
Today’s guests are no longer just booking a place to sleep; they’re actively seeking spaces that help them rest, reset and reconnect. In fact, wellbeing tourism has become one of the fastest-growing segments in global travel - now valued at over $995 billion and projected to grow by 13% a year through 2034.
As we move into 2026, short-term rental owners are embracing the shift. From subtle wellbeing touches to full spa-style transformations, hosts are adopting small upgrades that deliver big gains - in ADR, occupancy, and guest satisfaction.
A wellbeing-led rental doesn’t need a luxury renovation. With the right products in the right places, you can create a restorative, premium-feeling stay with surprisingly low investment.
LiBi brings together the brands and products shaping this new wellness-focused travel era - here’s how to elevate your offering this year.
Create a spa-style escape with compact wellness heroes
Infrared saunas and cold-plunge setups are no longer limited to high-end resorts. With Sun & Soul’s Infrared Saunas and the Kodiak Cold Plunge, you can offer guests a boutique-spa moment right inside your rental.
Wellness travellers spend 41% more per trip than the average tourist - and listings with spa-style amenities consistently command higher nightly rates. These additions transform your property into a destination in itself.
Boost relaxation with hot tubs that work year-round
A hot tub remains one of the highest-searched filters on Airbnb - and one of the most reliable ways to increase both occupancy and daily rates. It creates a moment. Sunrise dips, starry-night soaks, winter escapes - all the things guests come for, and return for.
The Sun & Soul Hot Tub range (300H, 500H and 600H), along with practical add-ons like heat pumps, steps and chemical starter kits, turns any outdoor space into an all-season wellbeing zone.
Support active breaks with premium fitness options
Not every guest wants to slow down - some want to keep their routine alive. Active-lifestyle travellers often seek properties that align with their daily habits - and they book earlier, stay longer and spend more.
The Peloton Bike adds a high-end fitness touch that appeals to wellness-focused travellers, digital nomads and long-stay guests. It’s also one of the most photographed amenities in fitness-forward rentals.
Elevate sleep - the foundation of any wellbeing stay
With sleep tourism now forecast to reach $400 billion by 2028, a great night’s sleep has become a major booking driver. 33% of UK travellers now cite sleep as their top holiday priority - outranking adventure, culture and food.
Handmade in Cumbria, Sealy’s Sovereign, Imperial, Majesty, Duke and Regal mattresses deliver hotel-level support and comfort - the kind of deep rest guests talk about in reviews. Pair them with crisp linens and calming bedroom touches to create a sleep environment worth returning to.
Offer natural, sustainable bathroom luxury
Guests are increasingly choosing low-tox, nature-led products that align with their values. Green People’s organic collections - including Manuka & Lemon Tea Tree Hand Wash, Daily Aloe and Citrus & Ginger Shampoo Bars, plus the calming “Time to Sleep” and “Time to Relax” essential oils - bring that spa-level feeling into everyday bathroom rituals.
Bramley also offers beautifully fragranced, botanical-rich amenities crafted with pure essential oils and natural actives. Their Hand Wash, Body Wash, Bubble Bath, Conditioner, and 5L refill options are perfect for sustainable, design-led bathrooms - while the dog and B child-friendly range adds thoughtful touch for family stays.
It’s a simple way to elevate the guest experience with products that look good, feel good and promote a sense of wellness from the moment guests arrive.
Whether your property leans towards calm, cosy retreats, active wellness breaks or a blend of both, these low-investment wellbeing additions can help you:
• attract higher-spending guests
• increase nightly rates
• boost reviews
• encourage repeat bookings
• position your rental as a mini wellness retreat
In a market where travellers are spending more - but only on stays that feel truly exceptional - adding thoughtful wellbeing integrations is one of the smartest investments hosts can make.
