Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa is excited to announce the launch of its Integrative Group Wellness Programming, designed to transform corporate meetings, retreats, and team-building activities into rejuvenating wellness experiences. At the heart of these new offerings is the award-winning Stonedrift Spa, a 12,000 sq. ft. wellness destination that anchors the resort’s extensive group wellness activities.

In response to a growing demand from meeting planners for more wellness services, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa is providing exactly what today’s corporate organizers are seeking. Wellness is no longer just a buzzword in the meetings industry; it is becoming a priority. According to the 2024 Global Meetings & Events Forecast by American Express Meetings & Events, 77% of meeting planners believe that wellness elements are essential for enhancing the attendee experience¹. This shift reflects a growing understanding that well-being is directly linked to productivity, engagement, and overall satisfaction during meetings.

Recognizing this trend, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa’s new Integrative Group Wellness Programming addresses these needs by offering tailored wellness programs for groups of six or more. Utilizing both indoor and outdoor venues, including unique spaces like the Wellness Studio, Point Patio, and the resort’s championship golf courses, Eagle Ridge is setting a new standard for corporate wellness experiences. These programs are designed to promote relaxation, connection, and increased productivity.
