In India, The Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts is focusing on cultural immersion at its properties, including The Leela Palace Jaipur, Udaipur, and New Delhi. These experiences emphasize local architecture, traditional craftsmanship, regional cuisine, and ceremonial rituals, such as yoga in the Aravalli hills or temple rituals in Jaipur.

Meanwhile, the hospitality brand Jumeirah has announced an exclusive private charter aboard the sailing superyacht The Maltese Falcon. Scheduled for December 2026, the voyage will transport a single group of guests across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Antigua. The 88-metre yacht features a DynaRig sailing system and will offer bespoke dining, wellness programs, and amenities such as an outdoor cinema projected onto its sails.
