A World of Wonder: Discover Rosewood Through the Destinations that Define It
October 15, 2025
Travel isn’t simply about seeing the world, it’s about transformation through new experiences and perspectives. Each Rosewood property is designed as an immersive destination, a reflection of its surroundings that invites guests to connect with culture, history, and community. This philosophy ensures that discovery is woven into every stay, creating memories that linger long after departure.
Across more than 30 hotels and resorts worldwide, Rosewood blends architecture, art, cuisine, and service into a story unique to each location. In 2025, Rosewood introduces openings that extend this narrative – from the lush Pacific coast of Mexico and the coral seas of Japan to a London cultural landmark, the canals of Amsterdam, and a visionary desert escape in Qatar.

A Pacific Sanctuary Surrounded by Nature
Rosewood Mandarina
On the untouched Riviera Nayarit coastline, Rosewood Mandarina is a sanctuary where jungle, sea, and mountains converge. It's easy to fall into nature’s rhythm here – listening to waves along Canalan Beach, exploring hidden coves, or taking in panoramic views from cliffside villas. At the heart of the resort is Asaya Spa, where treatments draw upon the ancient practices of the indigenous Cora and Huichol, blending ritual with renewal. This cultural grounding makes Asaya not only a spa but a journey into local healing traditions.
Accommodations immerse guests in the environment; cliffside villas with private plunge pools, beachfront suites with open-air living areas, and interiors accented with local artistry and earth-toned design. Butler service and thoughtful amenities ensure comfort at every turn, while outdoor showers blur the line between sanctuary and nature.
Dining is a celebration of abundance and diversity. At La Cocina, wood-fired comals craft authentic Mexican dishes. Buena Onda offers seafood and Spanish tapas directly on the sand. Toppu brings refined Japanese cuisine infused with regional ingredients, while Barra Peñasco, perched on the cliffs, creates an intimate speakeasy ambience. Whether beachside or cliffside, dining here is both rooted in the land and global in perspective.
You might put the $100 credit towards restorative spa therapies, or adventure into the wild canopy on a zipline, cycle through jungle trails, or explore the coastline on horseback. The on-property Polo & Equestrian Club invites guests to meet the horses, adding an equestrian touch that connects leisure with heritage. These are just a few examples of the many ways Rosewood Mandarina fosters a communion with nature that is both grounding and exhilarating.
An Island of Quietude
Rosewood Miyakojima
In Japan’s Miyako Island, part of the Ryukyu archipelago, Rosewood Miyakojima offers a retreat where tradition, spirituality, and pristine nature meet. Known for its coral reefs and cultural heritage, Miyakojima feels like a world apart – a setting that inspires reflection and renewal.
The property’s architecture and design honor precise Japanese craftsmanship, where minimalist interiors frame uninterrupted ocean views. Villas and two-bedroom houses offer serene private pools, kitchens, and dining areas, creating an atmosphere of refined seclusion.
Dining experiences emphasize premium ingredients and cultural resonance. At Nagi, Italian cuisine is reimagined through the values of longevity in both Italy and Japan, leaning into the regions’ shared ethos of healthful, nourishing eating. Maas elevates salt – the island’s gift from the sea – into a cornerstone of exquisite seafood dishes. Poolside, Yukuu serves spritzes and light fare, while evenings often conclude with inventive cocktails under starlit skies.
The cultural offerings are as immersive as the setting. You may create Tsuboya pottery, guided by master artisans whose patterns tell stories of sea life and folklore, or study Japanese calligraphy with local experts. These experiences not only yield keepsakes but deepen appreciation for traditions passed down over centuries. Outdoors, the island offers crystalline waters perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking, cycling tours that trace coastal paths, and snorkeling among coral reefs where sea turtles drift gracefully through technicolor fish.
Your $100 credit can enrich these pursuits, perhaps used for a private workshop with an artisan or a guided excursion. At Rosewood Miyakojima, every detail encourages you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect to the island’s soul.
A Capital of Culture
The Chancery Rosewood
In London’s Mayfair, The Chancery Rosewood transforms Eero Saarinen’s former U.S. Embassy into a cultural landmark of elegance and discovery. This iconic address combines architectural heritage with Rosewood’s hallmark personalized service, positioning itself as both a refuge and a gateway to the city’s vibrant arts.

Restaurant Jacqueline offers a timeless British ritual with its afternoon tea service, while Eagle Bar sets the stage for cocktails with skyline views. Each venue celebrates both global influences and local traditions.

This role transforms cultural exploration into a personal journey, reflecting Rosewood’s philosophy of sense of place. Use your $100 property credit to enhance these experiences, whether you’re savoring a tasting menu or reserving a bespoke art tour. In Mayfair, culture is not just observed, it’s lived.
Canals & Canvases
Rosewood Amsterdam
Rosewood Amsterdam sits along historic canals in a 17th-century property that once served as the Palace of Justice. Today, the hotel celebrates Dutch artistry, past and present. Interiors weave Golden Age heritage with contemporary design, with suites and rooms featuring works by local and international artists. Canal and courtyard views, plush furnishings, and thoughtful amenities create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Beyond the rooms, discovery unfolds in spaces like The Court, where daytime pastries and coffee give way to Champagne and cocktails in the evening.
The hotel’s cultural spirit is best experienced through its art program. Guests are invited to join intimate tours of the property’s extensive collection, concluding with a glass of Champagne in The Court. This curation of heritage and contemporary creativity echoes Amsterdam’s broader cultural fabric. Beyond the property, the hotel’s private Salon Boat provides an unforgettable canal tour accompanied by Dutch delicacies, weaving history and leisure into a single journey.
Dining embraces conviviality and artistry, with venues that honor Dutch flavors and global culinary traditions.

Futures of the Desert Sea
Rosewood Doha
In Lusail City, Rosewood Doha emerges as a striking landmark where Bedouin traditions meet modern design. The coral mashrabiya lattice of its twin towers symbolizes both heritage and innovation, while interiors reflect the fluidity of the sea with ocean-inspired hues and organic forms.
Accommodations combine contemporary luxury with cultural resonance, offering suites and residences that frame views of sea and city. Morning begins with ceremonial coffee and daily breakfast for two, a nod to Arabic tradition. The hotel’s eight dining destinations highlight culinary artistry from across the world: Koo Madame’s hand-pulled noodles and dim sum, Mila’s Levantine dishes presented with modern refinement, and The Butterfly Room’s Middle Eastern twist on afternoon tea, featuring in-house pastries and rare teas. Evenings conclude in the cigar lounge or at one of the property’s high-design cocktail venues.
Wellbeing is central to the Rosewood Doha experience. At Asaya, you can rejuvenate your body and soul through hammam rituals, sound healing sessions, and treatments that unite body and spirit. Beyond the property, extraordinary experiences redefine the desert itself: breakfast in a hot air balloon above the dunes, a yacht journey along Qatar’s coastline, or “The Desert Reimagined” – an intimate dinner staged under starlight among sweeping sands.
With its cultural authenticity and forward-looking design, Rosewood Doha is both a tribute to Qatar’s heritage and a vision of its future. Use your $100 credit to deepen your journey, whether through wellness, dining, or unique desert experiences.
