Life Longevity, the wellness brand Minor Hotels launched this month, has become a partner of the 2026 Global Wellness Summit, which runs in Phuket from November 10 to 13, the company said on October 23.
The summit’s 20th-anniversary edition takes place minutes from the brand’s flagship, Layan Life Longevity Retreat at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort. Delegates will be able to experience the retreat before, during and after the event.
Thailand is pitching its traditional medicine to an international audience through the invitation-only summit, and Phuket’s long-haul access is widening with new links such as Virgin Atlantic’s Heathrow flights.
“Wellness has been part of how Minor Hotels looks after its guests for more than four decades, and Life Longevity is the clearest commitment we have made to it,” said William E. Heinecke, founder and chairman of parent company Minor International.
Nancy Davis, chief creative officer and executive director of the Global Wellness Summit, said the brand “represents an exciting new chapter in the evolution of the industry.”
Stays at Layan begin with a consultation led by health professionals, with clinical care and Traditional Thai Medicine prescribed together. A follow-up programme, Life After Layan, keeps guests in touch with their care team at home.
Minor Hotels is opening Bangkok Life Longevity and Biohacking Hub on the 15th floor of The St. Regis Bangkok, the brand’s first urban location. Further urban, resort and residential sites are in development outside Thailand.
Minor Hotels is the hotel arm of Thailand’s Minor International and operates brands including Anantara, Avani, NH and Tivoli across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Its portfolio also includes the recently opened Anantara tented camp in Zambia.
