The Wall Street Journal: Wellness Resorts Are So Popular With Boomers, Some Are Moving In for Good

LISA REAGAN LOVE, 68, aprofessor of voice at Okla- homa City University, had been on the lookout for a community of wellness connoisseurs like herself. In 2020, lured by the promise of cacao ceremonies and mantra-chanting circles, she put a down payment on a four-bedroom villa at the Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection, in Punta de Mita on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Its 30 resident villas start at $4 million, while 59 rooms and suites serve mere vacationers. Love liked the sunset and sunrise views her villa would afford, but the potential to pack her schedule with sound baths and breathwork ses- sions at the on-property ONDA, an Auberge Spa, sealed the deal. These days, she and her husband split their time between their other home in Oklahoma and the villa, which is just an 8-minute walk from the spa.
