Relais & Châteaux adds 14 members to portfolio

Relais & Châteaux has welcomed 14 new members to its portfolio.

The additions span Europe, South Africa, Egypt, Canada and Australia, including 10 properties, three restaurants and a riverboat.

There are three upcoming launches, including Nile Canopus, a 12-bedroom vessel offering three to seven-night voyages on the River Nile in Egypt from December.

Elsewhere, Ytri, a 38-bedroom property located on Træna Island in northern Norway, and Casa Góngora in southern Spain’s Aljarafe region, are both expected to open in April 2026.

Other newcomers include The Torridon, a 58-acre estate beside Loch Torridon, which marks the group’s third Scottish property; Borgo Pignano, a 12th-century hotel in the Tuscan countryside; and Sequoia Lodge, an adult-only retreat in South Australia’s Adelaide Hills.

President of Relais & Châteaux, Laurent Gardinier, said: “Our association is firmly committed to a sustainable path so as to contribute, through cuisine and hospitality, to building a more humane and united world, in harmony with living things.

“It is an honour for me to welcome these fourteen new members to Relais & Châteaux, properties that share not only our values, but our passion for goodness and beauty.”

The latest additions to Relais & Châteaux’s portfolio contribute to a total of 34 new members this year.
