bigtargetmedia.com – Luxury travel in 2025 isn’t just recovering—it’s accelerating faster than anyone predicted. Despite global economic uncertainty, the luxury travel market is expanding as travellers demand richer, more meaningful, and more culturally rooted experiences.

The Luxury Travel Report 2025 by Preferred Hotels & Resorts highlights that over half of affluent travellers plan to increase their travel spending compared to 2024. But they’re no longer seeking formulaic luxury. Instead, they’re prioritising emotional depth, local connection, and personalised curation—marking a profound shift in what “luxury” means.

This evolving mindset presents a major opportunity for investors who want to align with the next wave of high-value hospitality growth.

What Luxury Travellers Really Want in 2025

Based on global data from Preferred Hotels and Skift, the luxury travel landscape in 2025 is driven by five powerful trends:

1. Authenticity Over Standardised Opulence

Nearly 70% of luxury travellers say luxury hotels have become too predictable. Identical room concepts, generic aesthetics, and uninspired dining are no longer enough to justify premium pricing.

Today’s guests want uniqueness—stories, cultural relevance, and a real sense of place.

2. Legacy Moments as the New Luxury Currency

Over 80% of travellers say their most cherished moments come from local insider experiences—not from lavish facilities. They want travel that shifts perspectives, sparks emotion, and creates lifelong memories.

3. High-Touch, Seamlessly Curated Experiences

More than 90% of respondents agree: luxury should feel effortless.

From personalised amenities to tailored food-and-beverage offerings and thoughtful sensory design (including music), travellers value what they don’t see—the careful curation behind the scenes.

4. Heritage as a New Frontier of Luxury

Travellers in 2025 crave depth.

Skift reports that 52% of high-income travellers prefer cultural immersion over traditional luxury perks such as large suites or premium materials. They want roots, meaning, and richness beyond aesthetics.

5. Loyalty Through Trust and Personalisation

With higher travel costs, luxury travellers rely more on loyalty programmes—not just for perks, but for consistency, familiarity, and personalised recognition.

Brand trust is becoming a core asset in the luxury sector.

Together, these trends reveal one thing:
Luxury today is built on meaning—not excess.

TUI BLUE Berawa: A Hotel Designed for the Future of Luxury Travel

Our partner development, TUI BLUE Berawa, is intentionally built around these evolving traveller expectations. Located in the culturally rich enclave of Canggu, Bali, this property is more than an investment opportunity—it is a living expression of heritage, storytelling, and emotional hospitality.

Rather than offering luxury for luxury’s sake, TUI BLUE Berawa creates moments guests carry long after their stay.

A Breakfast Experience That Becomes a Memory

At TUI BLUE Berawa, breakfast is no longer a routine—it’s a personalised ritual.

Guests can enjoy the “late riser breakfast” concept, allowing them to dine whenever they choose. For an even more tailored experience, a private chef can serve locally inspired Balinese dishes directly in-suite, in the garden, or beside the pool.

As General Manager Dino says:

“Breakfast is standard in most hotels—but does it create a memory? We curate emotional moments that stay with our guests long after they leave.”

This approach embodies the core of modern luxury: crafted experiences with cultural soul.

Daily Cultural Immersion Rooted in Balinese Heritage

Surrounded by Bali’s vibrant spiritual and cultural ecosystem, TUI BLUE Berawa offers guests daily access to immersive, meaningful activities.

These include:

• Temple visits

• Traditional blessing ceremonies

• Artisan workshops

• Cultural village tours

• Local craft experiences

These “legacy moments” are exactly what modern global travellers value most—authentic, emotional experiences that deepen their connection to the place they visit.

A New Era of Luxury Hospitality—and Why Bali Is Leading It

The rise of authenticity-driven luxury isn’t a fleeting trend. It’s a long-term behavioural shift shaped by emotion, cultural curiosity, and a desire for meaningful connection.

With its powerful heritage, artistic identity, and global appeal, Bali is emerging as a major global hub for the future of luxury travel.

For investors, this moment represents unprecedented potential.

TUI BLUE Berawa offers a gateway to be part of a new era in hospitality—one built on culture, emotion, and long-term value.
