Born from the Mediterranean spirit of peace and balance through health and beauty, Alys Beach is excited to announce its newest endeavor, ZUMA Wellness Center.
Not merely a fitness center and much more than a gym, ZUMA Wellness Center will be the meeting of design, beauty, state-of-the-art technology, and community, created as a space to uphold the pillar of wellness as a part of life defined at Alys Beach.
The fifteen-thousand-square-foot ZUMA campus was designed by Nequette Architecture & Design based in Birmingham, Alabama. The design of the facility at Alys Beach was inspired by its peaceful location and puts a strong focus on natural light in every room of the building. Surrounding courtyards will be visible through large glass framing. Every detail of the space was designed with the community in mind—not just as a gym, but as a gathering place for all individuals. The venue lends itself to a mindful and holistic full-body experience. With a mix of indoor and outdoor areas, luxurious landscaping, and calming water features, the experience at ZUMA will truly be transforming, as members transition from the hustle of day-to-day life into a space entirely focused on optimal wellness, both physically and mentally.

The ZUMA campus will comprise many diverse and distinct spaces. The Lift Room, the Movement Room, the Cardio Room, and the Recovery Room are core components of the facility. They are complemented by an indoor/outdoor pool, two treatment rooms, steam rooms in both the men’s and the women’s locker rooms, exterior natural spaces, a juice bar, and other amenities designed to promote growth toward better well-being for Alys Beach homeowners and resort guests.
