Spadominiums: Zen Condos, Grasshopper

The Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.
Robert M. Pirsig

Spadominiums are the newest condomium niche. As the name implies, these are condominiums which have spas in the building for owners’ use. But it goes way beyond that. These projects are designed to combine luxurious comfort with health and fitness activities of all kinds. They are marketed to the aging baby boomers who want to age in style. And can afford to. This is not your grandmother’s retirement home.

Living the Healthy, Wealthy & Wise Lifestyle

Pilates classes, Cardio dancing (isn’t all dancing cardio?), Aqua aerobics, scented rooftop gardens for meditation, nutrition classes, massage, self-defense classes (to handle unwanted massages), tantra classes (you should see the homework) are all part of the “balanced lifestyle” package. You won’t find any Snickers bars or Twinkies in their vending machines.

The two big players are Canyon Ranch (Miami Beach, Chicago) and Miraval Living (NYC).
