How spas, pools and wellness centres combine comfort with luxury and sustainability.
Spas, pools and wellness centres are designed to help people escape from the stresses of everyday life and have a positive impact on their health. The focus in both home wellness oases and public facilities is on quality and a feel-good atmosphere, the result primarily of the design, the choice of materials and the furnishings. Accordingly, operators of pools, hotels with spa areas or wellness centres, as well as specialist installation companies, are looking for products that invite people to stay a while, enhance the feel-good factor and offer maximum comfort. In addition to indoor and outdoor whirlpools and water pools, these products include saunas, steam baths and multi-sensory showers.
Showcasing the latest trends and innovations from the world of spas, pools and wellness, ISH is a unique source of inspiration.
Customised spa solutions for all requirements
The demands placed on wellness facilities vary according to location and target group. Whereas public pools and baths emphasise hygiene and durability, hotels with spa and wellness facilities prioritise luxurious amenities and the well-being of their guests. By contrast, private individuals want their home wellness oases to combine individuality and comfort.
The ISH presents solutions for all requirements:
- Pools and baths: swimming pools and showers in public baths must ensure a high standard of hygiene, be hard-wearing and easy to clean. Slip-resistant floor coverings and mats also ensure safety.
- Hotels with spa and wellness features: here, the focus is on luxury. Visitors should feel pampered by high-quality amenities such as saunas and steam baths. And the materials used also reflect this sense of luxury.
- Private wellness suites: whirlpools, multifunctional shower cubicles and customised lighting systems transform the bathroom into a personal retreat.
Luxury meets functionality: the latest equipment-design trends for spas, pools and wellness
Modern spas and wellness centres combine indulgent relaxation with highly functional amenities. The range of products is vast and stretches from elegant bathtubs to advanced infrared saunas.
Smart products are becoming increasingly popular in the wellness industry. They give the wellness experience that personal touch thanks to lighting systems and multimedia features that can be programmed individually and adapted to visitors' personal preferences.
Spa and wellness centre operators can gain inspiration from the latest products and solutions to be seen at ISH 2025:
- Infrared saunas and steam showers: infrared saunas and steam showers are gaining in popularity alongside traditional saunas. The warmth is beneficial to health and penetrates deeper into the muscles, while steam simultaneously nurtures the skin.
- Wellness pools and hot tubs: these tubs offer the perfect opportunity to bring a spa experience into the hotel or your private home. The combination of water treatments and modern design creates a totally relaxing atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors.
- Pre-programmed shower experiences: individually programmable showers combine a variety of water treatments, ranging from gentle rain to powerful massage jets, making every shower a very special experience.
Modern installations rely on a clean, minimalist design. Natural shapes and materials ensure a pleasant atmosphere. Smart products that adjust the light, sound and temperature to individual preferences increase the sense of well-being and make the experience a relaxing break from the daily grind.
Feeling good with an eye on sustainability
Sustainability is a decisive factor for the wellness industry, particularly when it comes to the materials chosen for indoor and outdoor areas. Products must be weather resistant and able to withstand intensive cleaning. The use of chlorinated water in pools also has an impact on the choice of materials, which is why more and more operators are turning to hard-wearing, natural materials such as wood or stone.
Increasing energy prices and growing environmental awareness mean that the use of water and energy-saving technologies is essential. Energy-efficient sauna stoves and water-saving whirlpools help protect the environment at the same time as keeping operating costs low. Products that meet these requirements are not only environmentally friendly but also a sound economic investment.
