This May, wellness is setting sail in Newport Beach.
Luxury Pilates and wellness brand Drenched is redefining the modern fitness experience with the launch of “Drenched on the Watercrest,” an immersive 10-day floating wellness residency taking place May 8 through May 17, 2026, in partnership with Revel Republic.
Set against the sparkling backdrop of Newport Harbor, the experience transforms the iconic Watercrest into a 10,000-square-foot floating wellness destination where movement, music, luxury, and community converge in one of Southern California’s most coveted waterfront settings.
Designed to feel more like a luxury escape than a traditional fitness event, the experience begins with yacht transportation across the harbor before guests arrive at the floating venue, immediately immersing themselves in the elevated atmosphere Drenched has become known for.
Throughout the residency, attendees can expect a curated lineup of signature Pilates classes led by Drenched instructors, restorative breathwork and sound bath sessions, live DJ performances, luxury wellness vendors, elevated brand activations, and panoramic harbor views, creating a uniquely coastal wellness experience.
Select weekday programming will also include exclusive yacht Pilates sessions cruising through Newport Harbor, adding another layer of exclusivity and immersion to the already highly anticipated event.
Known for its elevated aesthetic and loyal community, Drenched has quickly emerged as one of California’s most recognizable boutique wellness brands. With flagship studios off Melrose in Los Angeles and multiple Newport Beach locations, including Pacific Coast Highway and Fashion Island, the company continues its rapid expansion with the newly announced opening of a La Jolla studio in San Diego.
More than a fitness brand, Drenched has cultivated a lifestyle rooted in intentional living, movement, recovery, and modern coastal culture. “Drenched on the Watercrest” represents a natural evolution of that vision, creating a destination where wellness and luxury hospitality seamlessly intersect.
Revel Republic, known for producing elevated experiential events and luxury waterfront activations, partnered with Drenched to bring the ambitious concept to life. Together, the brands have created what is expected to become one of the season’s most talked-about wellness experiences, attracting tastemakers, creators, wellness enthusiasts, and the broader Southern California lifestyle community.
“This isn’t just a fitness event. It’s a fully immersive wellness destination,” shared a
spokesperson for Revel Republic. “Drenched on the Watercrest represents the future of experiential wellness by bringing together movement, music, luxury hospitality, and community in one of the most iconic waterfront settings in California.”
As wellness culture continues evolving beyond the traditional studio model, experiences like “Drenched on the Watercrest” reflect the growing demand for elevated, community-driven moments that combine fitness, hospitality, and lifestyle into something far more immersive.
