Haute Black’s Picks: 2025’s Most Notable Hotel Openings

Luxury travel in 2025 is defined not just by where you stay, but by how you experience a destination. From untouched coastlines and alpine hideaways to historic European estates and eco-forward wellness retreats, this year’s most anticipated hotel openings reflect a global shift toward immersive, experience-driven travel. Curated by Haute Black, the private travel division of Haute Living, these five new properties represent the pinnacle of design, service, and location—each offering a destination-defining experience for discerning travelers.

1. The The Red Sea EDITION — Shura Island, Saudi Arabia

Set along Saudi Arabia’s pristine Red Sea coastline, The Red Sea EDITION marks one of the most exciting luxury debuts in the Middle East. Featuring approximately 240 rooms and suites, expansive pools, private beach access, multiple dining concepts, and a full-service spa, the resort blends EDITION’s modern design ethos with subtle regional influences. As part of the ambitious Red Sea Project, this opening places travelers at the forefront of one of the world’s most forward-thinking luxury destinations.

Why it matters: A rare opportunity to experience a brand-new global luxury icon in a destination still largely untouched by mass tourism.

2. Park Hyatt Los Cabos at Cabo del Sol — Baja California Sur, Mexico

Park Hyatt’s debut in Los Cabos brings understated elegance to the Baja Peninsula. Located along the Sea of Cortez, the resort offers 163 refined guest rooms, multiple pools, a world-class spa, and access to the vibrant Ánima Village for dining, shopping, and curated experiences.

4. Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve — Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

Nekajui is among the most anticipated luxury openings in Central America. Perched on a dramatic Pacific cliffside within Costa Rica’s lush forest landscape, this Ritz-Carlton Reserve property emphasizes privacy, nature immersion, and highly personalized service.
