Relais & Châteaux, the association of luxury, independently operated hotels and restaurants, has 580 members around the world, from intimate country inns to spectacular oceanfront resorts. Today, the Paris-based organization welcomes 11 new properties, including nine hotels and two celebrated restaurants.

“Our association is firmly committed to a sustainable path so as to contribute, through cuisine and hospitality, to building a more humane and united world, in harmony with living things,” Laurent Gardinier, president of Relais & Châteaux, said in a press release shared with Travel + Leisure. “It’s an honor for me to welcome these 11 new members to Relais & Châteaux, properties that share not only our values but our passion for goodness and beauty.”

The latest members mirror the same geographical diversity of the existing collection, with new properties in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean, and Central America.

On the Old Continent, these include Villa Pétrusse, a 19th-century villa set inside a century-old park in Luxembourg. On the French Riviera in Le Lavandou, Hôtel Les Roches opens in June, featuring light-drenched rooms and a pool with prime views of the Mediterranean. Also French, Domaine le Mouflon d’Or on Corsica is a 20-key former aristocratic residence set on 50 acres in the island’s Alta Rocca region.

Grand Hotel Parker’s in Naples is Italy’s newest Relais & Châteaux. Built in 1870, the hotel has hosted luminaries like Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf. Perched on a hill with sweeping views of the Bay of Naples, the historic property’s 67 rooms and suites are decked in Hungarian-point parquet floors, crystal chandeliers, and period furniture.

In Mykonos, Greece, Myconian Sunrise—situated on the island’s quieter southern coast overlooking Agrari Beach—has traditional Cycladic architecture, spacious rooms, and a spa. And, on a private bay surrounded by a 50-acre forest on the Turkish Riviera in the Mediterranean, Relais & Châteaux Ahãma opens this June with four restaurants and holistic wellness activities like forest bathing and sound therapy.

Enowa Yufuin in the mountains of Kyushu, Japan, is home to guest rooms and villas with private onsens and Restaurant Jimgu, focusing on plant-based, farm-driven cuisine led by chef Tashi Gyamtso. Ran Baas The Palace, a heritage hotel in Patiala, Punjab, India, was once a Maharaja palace, meticulously restored with gilded frescoes and marble floors.

In the Caribbean, The Cove Eleuthera—a sibling property of two Relais locations: Mii Amo in Sedona, Arizona, and Twin Farms in Barnard, Vermont—is the first and only Relais & Châteaux in the Bahamas, set on two private, white sand-trimmed coves with access to coral reef diving and sea kayaking.

Guatemala City’s acclaimed Sublime Restaurant represents Central America, where chef Sergio Diaz creates an ambitious tasting menu that tells the story of the country’s culinary heritage and Mayan roots. Also on the restaurant front is the Michelin two-starred Jônt in Washington, D.C., where chef Ryan Ratino is behind the innovative, globally inspired tasting menu.

“I’m pleased to be welcomed as a Relais & Châteaux member,” Ratino said. “This new addition is a reflection of our shared commitment to exceptional experiences, genuine hospitality, and the timeless values that define our brand. We look forward to the journey ahead.”
