Aldar, Amway, Minor Hotels and Sable Investments Back Global Wellness Summit's 20th Event

Aldar has been named a Strategic Partner of the Global Wellness Summit's 20th anniversary event, alongside Amway, Minor Hotels and Sable Investments, for the gathering in Phuket, Thailand, on November 10-13, 2026. PR Newswire announced the partnerships on November 4, 2026.

Aldar's Intentional Spaces Design Challenge

The four partners represent real estate and the built environment, investment, consumer health and wellbeing, and hospitality, with influence spanning the Middle East, Asia and the United States. The Summit describes its Strategic Partner program as an exclusive, curated group whose members make a substantial financial commitment and gain access to GWS leadership, VIP gatherings and networking, and are recognized throughout the event.

A highlight of Aldar's partnership is the launch of a first-of-its-kind Intentional Spaces Design Challenge, developed by the Global Wellness Summit and Johns Hopkins University's Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics in strategic partnership with Aldar. The challenge will explore how neuroaesthetics and neuroarchitecture can inform the design of healthier buildings, communities and public spaces.

"Wellness is fundamental to quality of life and Abu Dhabi's ambition to become the world's most liveable city," said Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development. "From Saadiyat Island to Fahid Island, the world's first Fitwel-certified island, we are shaping environments that encourage healthier, more active and connected lives."

Minor Hotels joins as the Summit's exclusive Thai hospitality Strategic Partner. Its wellness vision centers on Life Longevity by Anantara, anchored by the Layan Life Longevity Retreat at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort and supported by Bangkok Life Longevity & Biohacking Hub. Hospitality Net reported on October 5, 2026, that Minor Hotels launched Life Longevity as a wellness brand connecting its destinations, services and future developments, with its first urban location, Bangkok Life at The St. Regis Bangkok, opening this autumn.

"We're thrilled to be a Strategic Partner of the Global Wellness Summit, and delighted that its 20th anniversary brings it to our backyard in Phuket," said William E Heinecke, Founder and Chairman of Minor Hotels.
