Minor Hotels has affirmed its leadership in luxury hospitality, earning 26 accolades, including three top honours, across its brands and managed properties at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025. Voted by discerning global readers, the annual awards recognise the best hotels, resorts, experiences, and hospitality leaders shaping luxury travel across Asia Pacific.

This year’s results reflect Minor’s exceptional breadth across the region, from heritage city retreats and beachfront escapes to jungle camps and wellness sanctuaries.

In Laos, Avani+ Luang Prabang emerged as a regional standout, claiming the title for Best Hotel Pool, recognised as one of the country’s Best Hotels, and Best Hotel Spas. General Manager Max Chin was named the Best GM in Laos, highlighting the hotel’s exceptional leadership.

In Vietnam, Anantara Hoi An Resort claimed the top spot for Best Upcountry Hotel, while Anantara Quy Nhon Villas earned recognition for both its beachfront appeal and top-tier spa offering.

In the Maldives, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas ranked across five categories, including Best Resort, Best House Reef, and Best Resort Pool and Spa. The resort also secured a spot among the Top 10 Most Outrageous Villas. Sister properties Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort, Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, and Niyama Private Islands Maldives were also recognised, including for leadership, spa excellence, and iconic overwater villa design.

Thailand saw four Minor Hotels properties featured across spa, city, and upcountry categories. Anantara Chiang Mai Resort and Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort both ranked among the Top 10 Upcountry Hotels, with the latter also securing a place for Best Hotel Pools. Anantara Layan Phuket Resortplaced among the Beach & Island Resorts, while Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel was recognised among the Best City Hotels. Loy Pela Voyages, a luxury river cruise offering voyages along Thailand’s majestic Chao Phraya River, placed among the Best River Cruise Lines.

In Cambodia, Anantara Angkor Resort and FCC Angkor by Avani, both in Siem Reap, ranked in the Top 10 for Best City Hotels.

Spa and wellness was a standout category for Minor Hotels, with four accolades across Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Maldives. Highlights include the Anantara Spas at Anantara Quy Nhon Villas, Avani+ Luang Prabang, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas and Anantara Veli Maldives Resort.

The group was also honoured for brand and loyalty excellence.
