THESE HOTELS JUST MADE THE T+L 500

🌍 A Big Year for Global Luxury

If you’re the type who plans trips around where to stay, this one’s worth noting. Minor Hotels just landed 10 properties on the 2026 Travel + Leisure 500 list—its strongest showing ever

The list itself comes from the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards, meaning these are the places travelers keep coming back to—not just once-in-a-lifetime stays, but repeat favorites.

🏝️ Where They’re Showing Up

What’s interesting isn’t just the number, it’s the range.

Across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South America, these hotels aren’t all the same type of luxury. Some are beachfront villas, others are historic landmarks, and a few are full-on city escapes

🌊 Standouts You’ll Want on Your Radar

A few highlights that feel especially worth bookmarking:

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas for those overwater villa, middle-of-the-ocean views
Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel, a 13th-century monastery turned cliffside hotel
Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort with the city’s first overwater villas
Kilindi Zanzibar for a more private, boutique, romantic escape

Each one leans into a different kind of travel mood, which is kind of the point.

✈️ Why It Matters

This isn’t a ranked list—it’s more like a curated guide to hotels that consistently deliver on experience, service, and design

And with over 640 properties globally, this milestone says a lot about how Minor Hotels is positioning itself right now: less about quantity, more about standout stays.
