In its April 2026 issue, ELLE Arabia speaks with Vista founder Victoria Gonzalez about the personal journey behind the club. The interview, A New Direction…, explores her changing relationship with wellbeing, her international modelling career and her vision for a more considered way of living in Johannesburg.

Victoria reflects on how life across different cities inspired a desire for places where she could feel grounded. That search helped shape Vista: a members’ club bringing movement, restoration and social connection into the rhythm of everyday life.
The conversation offers a glimpse of that vision, from training, yoga and Pilates to breathwork, the hammam, and time spent in the garden or members’ lounge. It also touches on Johannesburg’s creative energy and the importance of building something connected to its community.
At the heart of the feature is Victoria’s hope that members leave feeling more connected to mind and body, with a clearer sense of how they want to live.
