Anantara Hotels & Resorts is excited to announce the launch of the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma, presented by UBS, an exclusive car concours event in Rome. Scheduled from April 24-27, 2025, this prestigious event will showcase the best in Italian design, hospitality, and automotive craftsmanship. A celebration of Italy’s rich automotive history, the three-day event promises a collection of fifty of the rarest and most historic Italian cars, many from private collections, including iconic marques like Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Pagani.
What makes Anantara Concorso Roma unique is its focus on exclusively Italian cars, showcasing automotive gems that span from the early days of car manufacturing to the modern supercar era. The cars will be evaluated by a panel of international judges, led by Dott. Adolfo Orsi Jr. and Jeremy Jackson-Sytner, ensuring a high standard of competition.
Beyond cars, the event will be a tribute to all things Made in Italy, highlighting Italian cuisine, craftsmanship, design, and luxury. These elements will be showcased to a global audience, further enhancing the event's prestige. Multiple iconic locations across Rome will serve as the backdrop, providing a grand stage for these automotive masterpieces.
Rome’s history with motor racing adds further significance to this event. The city has been a part of Italy's racing legacy, from the Mille Miglia to the Gran Premio di Roma, a race held from 1925 to 1991. The 1947 edition of the Gran Premio di Roma is particularly notable, as it marked Ferrari's first victory with their own car, the Ferrari 125 S.
The Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, a 19th-century marble palace overlooking the Fountain of the Naiads, will host the event. Its neoclassical architecture and location in the heart of the city make it the perfect setting for this prestigious concours.
William Heinecke, Founder and Chairman of Minor International, Anantara’s parent company, emphasized the importance of the event, saying, "Rome is enjoying a renaissance, making it the perfect moment for Anantara to shift the gears and launch a prestigious concours event for the capital. I am confident that with support of our esteemed partners, we will successfully establish Anantara Concorso Roma as a pre-eminent annual international automobile event.."
Benjamin Cavalli, Head of Global Wealth Management Strategic Clients at UBS, shared his enthusiasm as well: "UBS is proud to be the official sponsor of the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma, the latest addition to our exclusive program of classic car events. This new partnership embodies the spirit of precision and craft we aspire to as a firm. We look forward to celebrating our passion for automotive excellence in April 2025 amidst the historic beauty of Rome."
For car enthusiasts looking to be part of the event, Anantara is offering exclusive packages, including VVIP weekend tickets, accommodation at the Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel, elevated dining experiences, and premier access to the event. Day passes will start at 200 EUR, with options for weekend packages with or without accommodation.

Royal Caribbean has officially opened bookings for its highly anticipated Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, the brand’s first beach club experience debuting in December 2025 in The Bahamas. Designed to redefine the ultimate beach day, the all-inclusive destination merges Royal Caribbean’s signature service with the vibrant Bahamian spirit. Guests booked on cruises visiting Nassau from late December 2025 can now reserve all-inclusive day passes featuring access to pristine beaches, three pools, and 10 bars—including the world’s largest swim-up bar, The Floating Flamingo.
The beach club also introduces the Ultimate Family Cabana, a two-story private retreat with a personal attendant, whirlpool, slide, and more for up to 12 guests. Whether vacationers seek chill vibes at The Deep End pool, family-friendly fun, or DJ-driven party energy on The Party Deck, the Royal Beach Club offers an experience for every mood. Authentic island fare, live music, local artisan shops, and inclusive perks such as roundtrip water transportation, Wi-Fi, lockers, umbrellas, and towels complete the experience. Day passes available for adults with unlimited open bar and dining, while non-alcoholic options available for both teens and kids.
Additional upgrades include beach and poolside cabanas, drink package bundles, and exclusive access to The Party Deck’s private poolside service. The Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will be accessible via cruises from six U.S. cities and marks the first in a growing list of exclusive destinations, with Royal Beach Club Cozumel and Perfect Day Mexico set to follow in the coming years.
Wynn Al Marjan Island, the much-anticipated luxury destination opening in early 2027 in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, has unveiled Enclave, a hyper-exclusive residential experience that reimagines luxury hospitality. Perched atop the resort’s 1,000-foot tower, Enclave offers just 313 meticulously designed rooms, ranging from plush Enclave King Suites to two sprawling Royal Apartments, each a masterstroke by acclaimed designers Anouska Hempel and Pinto Design.
Every detail, from platinum and sea mist tones to dual pantry service and culturally sensitive in-suite amenities, reflects an unmatched level of craftsmanship, privacy, and refinement. Guests arrive through a private verdant drive into an Enclave-only lobby, followed by private elevator access to floors housing no more than 15 suites each, ensuring tranquillity and exclusivity. With a private beach, three pools, and on-demand beach butlers, Enclave transforms leisure into luxury. Culinary offerings include an Enclave-exclusive skylit Lebanese restaurant and a chic Lobby Lounge serving artisanal cocktails and petit menus. Wynn’s design ethos “veiling and revealing” is woven into every touchpoint, with thoughtfully curated art, lush gardens, and a sensory restraint that whispers rather than shouts luxury.
This rarefied atmosphere, rich in storytelling and elegance, is set within the broader Wynn Al Marjan Island development that spans 60 hectares with 1,217 rooms, world-class dining, wellness facilities, designer boutiques, a marina for superyachts, and Coral Court for grand events. With construction on track and the tower spire topping out in 2025, Enclave stands poised to become the crown jewel of ultra-luxury living in the Middle East and beyond.
