Life Longevity, the brand Minor Hotels launched this month, has been named a Strategic Partner of the 2026 Global Wellness Summit, which runs November 10 to 13 in Phuket and marks the event's 20th anniversary. The summit is invitation-only, drawing figures from hospitality, medicine, investment, research and policy, and this edition carries the theme "The Science, Art and Soul of Wellness." Thailand's Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine is among the host sponsors.

The timing is convenient for Minor. The brand's flagship, Layan Life Longevity Retreat at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, sits minutes from the venue on Layan Beach, next to Sirinat National Park, built on a reflecting pond at the centre of the resort. Delegates will be able to book in before, during or after the summit.

Every stay opens with a consultation led by health professionals, who order only the assessments that match a guest's stated goals rather than a fixed panel. Clinical care and Traditional Thai Medicine are prescribed together, from a single plan, and a follow-up programme called Life After Layan continues once guests are home.

A second site, the Bangkok Life Longevity and Biohacking Hub, occupies the 15th floor of The St. Regis Bangkok and opens soon. Minor developed the Phuket property on its own assets and structured Life Longevity as a standalone brand, with further urban, resort and residential locations in development outside Thailand.
