Spanish hospitality company Meliá Hotels International speeds up its luxury presence across Asia with a series of landmark openings in 2026 and beyond.
Led by the debut of Paradisus by Meliá Bali next month, the company is expanding its premium and luxury portfolio, bringing its signature blend of Mediterranean warmth and destination-inspired hospitality to some of the region’s most sought-after destinations.
According to managing director for the Asia Pacific Ignacio Martin: "Luxury travel in Asia is evolving rapidly. It’s no longer defined by exclusivity, but by meaningful connection and sense of place. With one in every three Meliá openings worldwide positioned in the luxury segment, we’re accelerating that transformation. Through Paradisus and The Meliá Collection, we’re not only expanding our footprint but reimagining what luxury means for today’s traveller: authentic, immersive, and deeply connected to the destination.”
Points for expansion
