This Week’s Luxury Hotel News: Aman & Four Seasons Openings

First published on October 5th 2025.

The next two years are set to be huge for luxury travelers. Some of the world’s leading hotel brands, including Aman, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental and Rosewood, have confirmed new resorts and city hotels across the globe. From Mozambique to Napa Valley, here’s a detailed look at the most anticipated luxury hotel openings for 2025 and 2026.

Aman Karingani, Mozambique

Aman has announced a new safari lodge in Mozambique, Aman Karingani, set within the 150,000-hectare Karingani Game Reserve. This will be Aman’s first safari-style property in Africa and one of the most exciting new luxury safari lodges on the horizon.

I’ve been waiting forever for Aman to open something around safari in Africa and honestly thought it would never happen. It’s great to see that they’re going back to their roots of opening properties in special and beautiful locations rather than focusing so heavily on city expansion. Remote, nature-immersed locations are what Aman does best.

The resort will focus on privacy, space and immersion in nature. Guests can expect game drives, sundowners in the bush and serene evenings in suites designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape. For those looking to extend their trip, Mozambique already offers excellent luxury resorts such as Kisawa Sanctuary, making it easy to pair a safari with time on the beach.

Aman Singapore

Also on the horizon is Aman Singapore, part of The Skywaters development which will soon be one of the tallest towers in the city. Scheduled to open in 2028, this highly anticipated project will bring Aman’s sense of calm to the heart of Asia’s busiest financial hub.

Suites will feature sweeping skyline and sea views, with a full-floor spa, branded residences and a private Aman Club. The design takes inspiration from Singapore’s colonial-era “Black and White” bungalows but updated with modern Aman style.

This will be one of the most important new city hotel openings in Asia.

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride, Colorado

Four Seasons has confirmed a major new ski project in Colorado: Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride. This ski-in, ski-out resort will be located directly by the gondola, offering unmatched slope access.

The property will combine luxury accommodations with private residences, making it one of the most anticipated new ski resorts in North America.

Having experienced Four Seasons Vail myself, I know this brand sets the bar high in Colorado, and Telluride should become another flagship in their mountain portfolio.

 Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico

The Caribbean also has something new to get excited about Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico is already taking reservations for stays beginning November 20, 2025, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest luxury resort openings of the year. December dates are already tight, which tells you everything you need to know about demand.

The resort sits on 483 acres of former coconut farm in the Bahía Beach community, just half an hour from San Juan airport. More than 65 percent of the land is preserved as sanctuary habitat, so it’s not just about the beach (though you do get two miles of that as well). Guests will have access to seven miles of trails, lakes, canals, and a Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, along with a spa, multiple pools, racket club, and all the usual Four Seasons touches.

Accommodation will include around 139 rooms and suites, plus 85 private residences with options like private pools and oceanfront terraces. Dining is being expanded to nearly ten different outlets, from Mediterranean and sushi to casual beachside grills and poolside service. The arrival and pool areas are being redesigned to open up full ocean views, so the overall feel is set to be fresh and very Four Seasons.

Four Seasons has several additional luxury hotel openings confirmed for 2026. Highlights include:

• The Park Gstaad, A Four Seasons Hotel: Already attracting interest and we already had one client reach out about a reservation here despite the hotel not opening until 26/27.

Mandarin Oriental Vienna

Set to open on October 20, 2025, Mandarin Oriental Vienna will bring the brand’s signature service to Austria’s capital.

Located in a restored historic building near St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the hotel will feature 150 guest rooms and suites, a spa, an indoor pool and multiple restaurants. This is shaping up to be one of the most exciting new luxury city hotel openings in Europe.

Rosewood Calistoga, Napa Valley

Rosewood Calistoga will officially open in 2026, bringing a refined new option to California’s wine country. Located in the hot springs town of Calistoga, this resort will be Rosewood’s first true flagship in Napa Valley.

The design will reflect both vineyard living and Calistoga’s wellness heritage, creating a property that is expected to be a standout among new luxury wine country hotels.

If you are interested in Napa, let me know and I’ll update you as soon as reservations open for Rosewood Calistoga.

Final Thoughts

Between Aman’s expansion into Mozambique and Singapore, Four Seasons building momentum in Telluride and Puerto Rico, Mandarin Oriental arriving in Vienna, and Rosewood opening in Napa, the luxury hotel landscape for 2025 and 2026 is shaping up to be very exciting.

It can feel like a lot to keep up with.

At the same time, this is what makes the work rewarding. Staying ahead means being able to guide clients towards the openings that truly fit their style of travel.
