Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts invites guests to embrace 2025’s top travel trends through immersive experiences across its portfolio of luxury hotels in some of the world’s most enchanting destinations including Douz, Mauritius and the Maldives. Each property authentically captures the spirit of its destination while staying ahead of the modern traveller’s preferences —be it the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation in Douz, a culinary journey in the Maldives, or a TikTok-worthy escape in Mauritius.
Born to be Mild
Adventure and wellness continue to be significant motivators for upscale travellers, but according to global travel network Virtuoso, in 2025 high-net-worths will pursue a harmonious balance of exhilaration and relaxation. Offering the perfect blend of both, Douz provides a gateway to the Sahara in southern Tunisia, where golden sand dunes stretch endlessly beneath clear blue skies. For an exhilarating adventure, take to the desert by camel, quad bike, or sandboard, embark on a desert trek to explore hidden oases, or experience the thrill of falconry with a majestic birds of prey demonstration. After days spent exploring, retreat to The Residence Douz, a serene sanctuary enveloped by swaying palms and bordered by the silent Sahara. The resort features 50 elegant villas, two gourmet restaurants, an infinity pool and a luxurious Spa by Clarins where guests can unwind in unparalleled luxury. For a truly memorable evening, opt for a private dinner under the stars in a traditional Berber tent to feast on Tunisian delicacies.
Palate and Place
Culinary experiences have become an intrinsic element of luxury travel, and as per Virtuoso’s 2025 Luxe Report, globetrotters are prioritising gastronomic discoveries that showcase the authentic flavours and unique traditions of the destinations they visit. The Residence Maldives, comprising of The Residence Falhumaafushi and its sister property, The Residence Dhigurah, is connected by a 1km bridge that allows guests to travel freely between the two resorts and enjoy its various offerings, including all nine restaurants and bars. From casual bites to refined dining, the resort’s restaurants offer a tantalising array of international dishes, with each meal made more memorable by the gentle breeze and stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The Falhuma offers fresh seafood and grilled meats, paired with fine wines, and set at the end of a 230-metre jetty above the reef; Whilst The Beach Bar overlooks the island and is partially submerged in the pool, serving light meals and refreshing drinks by day, and tapas with infused spirits at sunset. Located above The Lobby, The Library Bar provides a relaxed atmosphere with panoramic ocean views, perfect for enjoying cocktails, light bites, or a game of billiards or chess. Additionally, guests can embark on a sustainable journey with the Earth Basket farm-to-fork experience, where chefs craft nature-inspired dishes using locally sourced produce grown on-site at the resort’s kitchen farms.
You Tell Me Travel
Rather than sticking to well-worn bucket lists, travellers are finding new inspiration through TikTok, an influential social platform that delivers rapid-fire clips of destinations previously overlooked. According to the platform’s Creator Search Insights, ‘Things to do in Mauritius’ had seen a spike of 1.25 million searches in November from its users. Seamlessly blending modernity and tradition, The Residence Mauritius is an elegantly refined beachfront resort combining European Charm and authentic Mauritian hospitality. A personal butler is available throughout stays to help with everything from unpacking the luggage, to drawing fragrant baths, or taking care of the laundry and ironing –a welcome relief when travelling with large groups. Take a private cooking class to master Creole cuisine that bursts with flavour, or head out on a full-day excursion to discover the most breathtaking landscapes across Sancho Island, Riviere des Galets Beach, Black River Gorges and more. Back at the resort take to the waves with a variety of complimentary water sports, from glass-bottomed-boat trips to kayaking and windsurfing – The Residence Mauritius has it all covered.
