Three stylish outdoor hotel gyms to check out on your next holiday
By Shivani Dubey | 27 August 2025 | Lifestyle, Travel
From full nature immersion in Jamaica to open-air treadmill runs overlooking the Aegean Sea, these outdoor hotel gyms will cater to your fitness needs even on vacation
There are two types of people in this world: the ones who prefer to put off their fitness routines until they are back from vacation, and those who get inspired by the new holiday setting and keep those workout routines going. If you happen to fall in the second category, the traditional hotel gyms with a sad treadmill shoved into the corner of a basement simply won’t do the trick. Today, luxury hotels have started taking fitness regimes and luxury gyms outside, where guests can continue their sense of place immersion with natural outdoor light and air, recovery tech, curated playlists better than most clubs, and incredible equipment. From full nature immersion in Jamaica, to open-air treadmill runs overlooking the glistening Aegean Sea in Santorini, here are three stylish outdoor hotel gyms to check out on your next wellness-forward vacation.
Camiral, A Quinta do Lago Resort, Costa Brava
Camiral, A Quinta do Lago Resort, is a luxury resort set within 500-acres of Catalan Forest in the region of Costa Brava. And its wellness centre goes beyond offering traditional spa treatments, blending wellness expertise with cutting-edge technology to focus on cellular health. The state-of-the-art 24-hour gym – designed within a Mediterranean forest – blends indoor and outdoor training with lush greenery and views across Catalonia. It is equipped with cutting-edge Technogym equipment and offers a variety of cardio machines, free weights and functional zones. Guests can also participate in high-energy workout sessions and find space for yoga, barre, and pilates in dedicated studios and outside areas.
Beyond lifting and cardio, there is also cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, photobiomodulation, pressotherapy, and Icoone body treatments – which is tech normally available only to elite athletes. Cryotherapy at -110 °C burns up to 800 calories in three minutes, boosts metabolism, and speeds recovery. Surrounding the gym, you’ll find a thermal pavilion with hot and cold contrast plunge pools, steam, sauna, hammam and relaxation zones. Guests can follow curated programmes that blend personal training, yoga, movement, nutrition, and bespoke therapies – all guided by wellness professionals, nutritionists, and mindfulness specialists. 
GoldenEye, Jamaica
GoldenEye has been a low-key hub of cool since James Bond author Ian Fleming first designed the lush estate in the town of Oracabessa, on Jamaica’s north coast, in the 1950s. Since then, this place has played host to writers, musicians, and heads of state, and has maintained its standing as one of the Caribbean’s most star-approved hideaways. Here, fitness extends beyond the pop-up gym space which overlooks the resort’s iconic lagoon meandering through every cove of the 52-acre resort. GoldenEye encourages guests to embrace the full outdoors with its outdoor ‘jungle gym’. It also has a green space with creative pieces called ‘Playscape’ where guests can do laps, yoga and exercise. The estate also offers scenic paths for jogging or walking routes around the island’s largest orchid collection and gardens, as well as the lagoon. A personal fitness trainer is on call and a floodlit tennis court is also accessible to those who wish to indulge.
Santo Mine Oia Suites, Santorini
Santo Mine Oia Suites is a perfect sanctuary for guests to unwind with several wellness experiences and amenities. The Somma Outdoor Gym offers an array of state-of-the-art equipment and amenities. Outdoor facilities include dedicated spaces for mindfulness classes, yoga, aqua-yoga, aerial yoga and pilates. Guests can also partake in aqua-pilates in the resort’s adjacent sister hotel, Santo Pure Oia Suites & Villas, allowing them to find a sense of inner peace and rejuvenation. Additionally, guests can book experiences such as the Thirassia Wellness Retreat which combines the rejuvenating effects of hiking, yoga, and meditation in the calming natural setting of Thirassia, as well as a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters.
