Blending prestige and privacy, members’ clubs have long been part of elite social scenes—for better or worse. In 2026, a new group of members-only clubs will open in the U.S., offering everything from acoustically engineered listening rooms to rooftop saunas to private wine lockers.

Biba members receive access to the Biba Yacht, a 42-foot de Antonio available for charter, for the days they aren’t poolside or at Biba’s rooftop. 

In March, New York’s Zero Bond will open in Las Vegas. The new location will span 15,000 square feet, with spaces like The Salon for socializing, The Penthouse for events and sports viewing, and Baby Disco for music and dancing. In a city renowned for its nightlife, you can start your day at Zero Bond as early as 10:30 a.m. for coffee and........
