The French Riviera gets a new address worth knowing about. Zannier Bendor arrives on Île de Bendor, a private island off Bandol. Bringing 62 suites and villas designed with that effortless Mediterranean elegance Zannier does so well. Think private beaches, yacht club access, and the kind of laid-back luxury that only works when you're literally on your own island. This is the Riviera for people who've done the Riviera.

Airelles calls it "The Playful Escape." We call it Venice's most anticipated opening of 2026.

The French luxury group's first Italian property opens April 1 on Giudecca Island, occupying four historic Palladio-designed buildings with lagoon views facing San Marco. 45 suites, eight restaurants and bars, a sprawling wellness sanctuary, and nearly a hectare of private gardens, the kind of outdoor space that makes Venice feel entirely different.

Tokyo gets its first 1 Hotel in early 2026, and it's bringing that "nature-in-the-city" aesthetic the brand is known for. Described as an urban sanctuary, expect biophilic design, sustainability credentials that actually mean something, and the kind of calm that makes you forget you're in one of the world's busiest cities. This is Tokyo, slowed down and tuned in.

Reopening 28 April 2026.

The Florentine hillside icon is getting the Belmond treatment and reopening better than before. Perched above Florence with those views that never get old, Villa San Michele is being refreshed while keeping everything that made it legendary. When a property this special closes for renovation, you know the reopening is worth the wait.

Opening Spring/Summer 2026

This is Six Senses entering the Red Sea, bringing barefoot luxury to one of the world's newest luxury destinations. Amaala sits within six hours of Paris, Rome, Berlin, and Mumbai, positioning it as the Middle East's next coastal escape for those who know where to look.

The resort faces iridescent blue lagoons to the north and natural rock pools to the south, with a Six Senses Spa tucked away in its own private cove.

Crete's Blue Palace is getting the Rosewood touch. The transformation of this Elounda property means elevated everything, from the rooms to the restaurants to that view over Spinalonga Island that was already perfect. When Rosewood takes over a Mediterranean property, you know the standard just got raised.

Opening 1 April 2026.
