Some of life’s most meaningful journeys begin not with distance travelled, but with a seat taken. Across a table, stories unfold, flavours linger, and strangers become companions. Returning for its third edition, Marriott International’s Luxury Dining Series invites guests to rediscover the quiet power of gathering, where a shared meal becomes a moment of connection and time slows to the pace of conversation.

Guided by the theme Across the Table, the series transforms dining into an intimate exchange shaped by generosity, curiosity and the joy of being present. Plates arrive with provenance, dishes are passed for sharing, and chefs step beyond the kitchen to engage with guests as storytellers. Every experience is designed to feel unguarded and alive, celebrating not only what is served, but also what is shared.

Unfolding across Asia Pacific, the 2026 Luxury Dining Series brings together celebrated culinary voices and evocative settings to create spaces where culture, creativity and human connection converge. From softly lit dining rooms to extraordinary destinations, Marriott International invites guests to take their place at the table and discover how a single meal can become a lasting memory, carried long after the final course has been cleared.

The locations for the 2026 series include JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, The Naka Island, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Phuket, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto, and a voyage across Japan aboard Luminara.

Exclusive stay packages will be available across the six destinations, inviting guests to experience Across the Table beyond the dining room. Offered exclusively in conjunction with the Luxury Dining Series, these limited packages pair signature culinary moments with thoughtfully curated stays, encouraging guests to slow the pace, deepen connections and discover each destination as an integral part of what is shared at the table.

The Maldives edition of the series will take place from 25–30 August at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, where guests will enjoy an exclusive programme of experiences set against the backdrop of the resort’s private island surroundings.

Further details on the programme will be announced in due course. Please visit the website for more information.
