Bringing the resort and country club experience home

By Hinsdale Magazine Group Staff

Luxury living today is less about square footage and more about creating a home that rivals a five-star resort. Homeowners are investing in spaces that promote wellness, recreation, and everyday enjoyment, bringing experiences once found only at luxury hotels and private clubs into their own homes.       

Wellness at Home

Infrared Saunas

More energy-efficient than traditional saunas, infrared models have become a staple in luxury wellness suites.

Cold Plunge Pools

Often paired with saunas, cold plunges are one of today’s fastest-growing home wellness features for recovery and relaxation.

Steam Showers

Think aromatherapy, chromotherapy lighting, digital controls, and built-in sound systems—all inside the primary bath.

Recovery Rooms

Dedicated spaces featuring massage chairs, stretching areas, compression therapy, and wellness equipment.

Home Fitness Studios

Boutique-style gyms with rubber flooring, mirrored walls, integrated technology, and spaces designed for strength training, yoga, or Pilates.

Circadian Lighting

Smart lighting that automatically adjusts throughout the day to mimic natural sunlight and support healthy sleep patterns.

The Private Club Experience

Golf Simulators

Play Pebble Beach in January or fine-tune your swing with professional-grade launch monitors and virtual courses.

Wine & Bourbon Rooms

More than storage, these are intimate tasting rooms with climate control, custom cabinetry, and lounge seating.

Home Theaters

Acoustic wall treatments, luxury recliners and cinema-quality projection systems create an immersive movie experience.

Indoor Sports Courts

Basketball, pickleball and multi-sport courts are becoming increasingly common in custom homes.

Indoor-Outdoor Bars

Complete with beverage refrigerators, ice makers, taps and pass-through windows that connect seamlessly to patios.
