Wellness real estate is the fastest-growing sector of the global wellness industry. According to the GWI Global Wellness Economy Country Rankings 2026, this market is growing faster than any other real estate segment. In Poland there is still a shortage of developments that genuinely – and not merely as a slogan – build on this philosophy.
When designing Izera Park in Świeradów-Zdrój, we asked ourselves one question: what should a development that genuinely supports longevity include? Not as a premium add-on in the offer. As the foundation of the project.
The answer is rooted in scientific research. And every element of Izera Park has its justification in the data.
1. Neighbourly relationships – health infrastructure, not aesthetics
Shared spaces are not a matter of style. They are a matter of health.
A study conducted by Holt-Lunstad et al. on a sample of over 300,000 participants, published in PLOS Medicine, showed that a strong social network increases the chance of survival by 50%. Loneliness kills more effectively than obesity or smoking.
Izera Park responds to this with concrete shared spaces: a wooden rest area beside the natural stream, an entrance hall with a lounge zone, a yoga room and Ganbanyoku saunas. These are places where residents can pass one another, talk and care for their health together – without planning and without any organisational effort. Neighbourly relationships are built naturally here, because the architecture encourages them. This is not decoration. It is health infrastructure.
2. Movement built into everyday life – the environment is stronger than willpower
A study published in Nature in 2025, covering 2.1 million participants, showed that more walkable surroundings translate into an increase in physical activity of around one hour per week. The environment determines how much we move – more than motivation or willpower.
At Izera Park, movement is built into everyday life. On the development's grounds there is a yoga room in a courtyard with a view of the Izera Mountains. The entrance to the cycling Single Tracks and Run Tracks begins right behind the building. Beyond the building stretches a vast forest with plenty of walking areas. Movement requires no planning here – it is literally outside the door. In summer, numerous bike rental points put activity within easy reach. In winter – downhill and cross-country skiing. In every season it is within sight.
3. Greenery and contact with nature – slowing ageing at the DNA level
A 2023 Northwestern University study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, showed that greenery around a building slows biological ageing at the DNA level. Long-term access to green areas reduces the risk of death from all causes.
Izera Park is being built amid the spruce forests of the Izera Mountains, with a natural stream flowing through the development's grounds. Tall and low greenery right beside the buildings, sensory paths and quiet zones, community gardens and water features – this is not decoration. It is a therapeutic environment, available every day, without leaving the development.
4. Infrared sauna and Ganbanyoku – daily support for the cardiovascular system
Regular sauna use reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 27% – according to a study by Laukkanen et al. published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2015, supplemented by a review of heat therapy (PMC, 2024). The infrared sauna and Ganbanyoku work through FIR radiation, which penetrates deeper than hot air, improving circulation and reducing oxidative stress.
The shared areas of Izera Park will feature Ganbanyoku saunas – a Japanese bath on volcanic stones, working through FIR radiation. Cryostimulation, in turn, will be provided by a cryo chamber in the Longevity Studio. This is a complete regeneration protocol available on site, with no need to drive to a spa.
5. A zone of calm and regeneration – preventing lifestyle diseases
According to research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, chronic stress accelerates biological ageing by several years. Spaces for calming the mind and meditation are not a luxury – they are prevention of lifestyle diseases.
At Izera Park, the yoga room, the Ganbanyoku saunas and the rest area beside the stream create a space where calm is available without leaving the development. And just 50 metres away the spruce forest begins – a natural dose of forest bathing, proven to be an effective tool for reducing cortisol. An environment that allows you to truly calm down is becoming harder and harder to find. Here it is written into the address.
6. The Izera Longevity Center – diagnostics where you live
The best prevention begins with data. Access to diagnostics at your place of residence shortens the distance between knowledge about your health and action.
Izera Park will house a Izera Longevity Center – a space with access to biomarker testing, InBody body-composition analysis and HRV monitoring, a cryogenic chamber, personal training and massage. On site you can also consult a dietitian, a physiotherapist and a longevity coach. The result of a visit is a "Plan for a Long Life" – a personalised list of guidelines on how to continue caring for yourself after returning home. Prevention stops being a task "for someday." It becomes part of the trip.
7. Aging in place – a project for a whole life
The Longevity Living philosophy also means something very concrete in architectural terms: the ability to remain in your own place regardless of age and physical ability. 77% of adults over 50 want to stay in their home forever – according to research by AARP (2021) and the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. The problem is that only 10% of existing homes are adapted for this. Most buildings are simply not designed with the long lives of their residents in mind.
Izera Park is designed differently – in the spirit of universal design: without thresholds, with wide corridors, accessible lifts, flexible apartment layouts and lighting that supports people with impaired vision. The development you buy today as a second home is meant to be your place in 20 or 30 years' time too. This is not an add-on to the project. It is its premise.
Świeradów-Zdrój – a location that is part of the project
A town with over 200 years of spa tradition is no accidental choice. Clean air, natural healing waters, the proximity of forests and a terrain conducive to an active life – the location of Izera Park is itself an element of the Longevity Living philosophy.
World-class wellness real estate is not about adding a sauna to an apartment building. It is about an environment in which you live actively supporting your health – every day, in a way that requires no special effort. Just as in the Blue Zones – the regions of the world where people live the longest – it is the everyday surroundings, not heroic decisions, that determine the quality and length of life.
