LUX* announces new openings in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, whilst SALT prepares for its debut in China this year 

PORT LOUIS, Mauritius, Jan. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The award-winning Mauritian-born global luxury hotel operator The Lux Collective has announced its expansion plans for 2025 and beyond, with new openings in the pipeline for China, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The Group’s brand of boutique and purpose-led properties SALT will debut outside of Mauritius with two openings in China, whilst The Lux Collective’s flagship luxury brand LUX* will launch in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, as well as growing its presence in Africa with a futuristic, opulent safari-camp in Botswana. At the helm of this highly anticipated next chapter is The Lux Collective’s new Chief Executive Officer Olivier Chavy, who is paving the Group’s strategic presence in burgeoning travel destinations across the globe, and cementing its position as a trailblazing industry disruptor.

SALT brand expands outside of Mauritius for the first time

In Q2 2025, The Lux Collective will debut SALT of Anji in China, providing a gateway into the lush natural beauty of Anji County, a tranquil region known for its prized white tea and bamboo forests. Launched in 2018, SALT offers a humanistic approach to hospitality – connecting modern explorers to meaningful travel experiences, sustainability and local communities. As travellers increasingly seek emerging destinations to reconnect with nature and escape the crowds, Anji offers beautiful landscapes and preserved culture, just a 2.5-hour drive from Shanghai. Designed by renowned South African architect Peter Rich, SALT of Anji is inspired by Catalan architect Gaudí’s imaginative use of natural stone and elements to create showstopping structures. The sustainability-focused resort features 108 guestrooms and villas, with contemporary interior design to complement the building’s stone aesthetic. It has a scenic outdoor pool, themed restaurants and an elegant SALT Equilibrium spa centre. 

Continuing SALT’s journey in China, SALT of Mount Siguniang will launch in 2027, located in a Tibetan village in the Sichuan province on the doorstep of UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, Mount Siguniang National Park. The first international property to open in this protected area of natural beauty, the resort will grant unparalleled access to magnificent peaks and emerald forests, being part of Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries.

LUX* expands its presence with the first hotel management agreement in Southern Africa – LUX* Xinii Mababe, Botswana

Growing the LUX* footprints, the Group ventures further into new destinations in the Africa continent, following the successful opening of LUX* Marijani Zanzibar in Tanzania in July 2023. The Lux Collective and Diamond Power Pty Ltd have officially inked a hotel management agreement to operate and manage a new project – LUX* Xinii Mababe in Botswana.

An exclusive destination into the untamed natural surroundings of Mababe, LUX* Xinii Mababe is home to diverse wildlife, including large herds of buffalo, zebras, elephants and giraffes, as well as lions and leopards. Inspired by Botswana’s cultural heritage, the resort’s minimalistic architecture will be sustainably designed. All 26 lodges each features a centrepiece emulating striking African trees, rooting each lodge to the land. The symbolic roof structures honour the Okavango Delta’s indigenous Hambukushu tribes, also known as rainmakers of Okavango. Their distinctive funnel shape mirrors that of Hambukushu fishing baskets, while the conical design of each roof uses local materials and age-old conservation methods to harvest rainwater. 

Lyndon Jones, Founder of Diamond Power Pty Ltd and Owner of Xinii River Camp project in Botswana, remarks, “Recognised for its excellence and innovation in the global hospitality industry, our like-minded collaboration with The Lux Collective aims to make LUX* Xinii Mababe an unrivalled destination for opulent safari and wellness experiences, with thoughtful architecture and design inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Botswana and the Okavango. Our shared goal is to create a truly immersive and luxury wildlife experience through unique accommodation, culinary and wellness offerings for future guests whilst respecting the surrounding natural environment.” 

This successful collaboration has been facilitated by International Tourism Investment Corporation Ltd (ITIC), London-based global advisory boutique firm, which serves as the Transaction and Financial Advisor for this project.

LUX* debuts in the Middle East and grows presence in Asia

Flagship luxury brand LUX* will launch in the Middle East for the first time in Q4 2025 with LUX* Al Bridi and LUX* Al Jabal in Sharjah, UAE.

A modern 45-key boutique-style resort overlooking the Gulf of Oman with jagged mountains, LUX* Al Jabal will offer exclusive access to a private beach, world-class dining options, a restorative LUX* ME Spa and opportunities for cultural immersion.

On its doorstep is a wealth of experiences including dining in the wild, dune surfing, and four-wheel drive excursions to stargazing under the Arabian sky. 

In Asia, LUX* brand will also debut in Vietnam with the country’s and the region’s first overwater resort – LUXNAM* Phu Quoc in Q2 2026, a private paradise in the Kien Giang Biosphere Reserve, tucked between dense jungle and idyllic beaches on the northern tip of Phu Quoc island. Inspired by the Maldives’ iconic overwater resorts and overseeing panoramic seaviews, the 116 villa-only modernistic resort includes 99 overwater villas and 17 landed residences. The resort’s design with its LUX* ME Spa and specialty restaurants will reflect the best of island living, highlighting locally-crafted and traditional materials with a minimalist touch.

In Q3 2026, luxury urban resort LUX* Guangzhou will launch in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, providing an oasis of calm in this fast-paced metropolis. Located in two skyscrapers comprising the luxurious resort and residences, LUX* Guangzhou boasts unobstructed views of the city, a variety of dining destinations and a sensory LUX* ME Spa. 

“As the CEO of The Lux Collective, I am delighted to lead the Group on another exciting phase of global expansion and strategic growth. The Lux Collective is a dynamic and pioneering home-grown Mauritian brand which puts people, exceptional service and extraordinary experiences first. The latest projects for LUX* and SALT will provide gateways to fascinating and emerging travel destinations such as Anji, Mababe, Phu Quoc and Sharjah, enabling travellers to delve authentically into the unique identity of each region.

We are thrilled to announce LUX* brand’s first opening in Botswana and look forward to putting LUX* Xinii Mababe on the map as an ultra-luxury safari and wellness destination. Designed with sustainability in mind and expected to open in Q1 2027, this futuristic project will draw in travellers from all over the world to this alluring location. We believe luxury and environmental stewardship must coexist for every resort we open and focus is on creating positive impact while delivering luxurious hospitality and meaningful experiences with a sense of place,” comments Olivier Chavy, Chief Executive Officer of The Lux Collective.

HONG KONG, Jan. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On January 16, 2025, WeBank Technology Services (“the Company”) marked a key milestone in its global expansion with its inaugural ceremony in Hong Kong. The event was attended by senior representatives from WeBank and WeBank Technology Services, government officials from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and international partners. During the ceremony, WeBank Technology Services signed several partnerships, underscoring its technological prowess and expanding global presence.

Among the agreements signed were partnerships with Mega Corp from Indonesia, SCBX from Thailand, Hong Leong Bank from Malaysia, and Fusion Bank from Hong Kong SAR. These agreements, focused on digital banking infrastructure and digital transformation, represent a key step in WeBank Technology Services’ international collaboration efforts and highlight its technical strengths and global influence, offering innovative solutions to clients worldwide.

The launch of WeBank Technology Services is a significant part of WeBank’s strategy to seize global opportunities in digital development. From its Openhive-based core banking system to multiple international recognitions, WeBank has become a leader in the financial technology sector. This solid foundation positions WeBank Technology Services to serve partners worldwide from Hong Kong. The Company’s global expansion enhances WeBank’s leadership in financial technology.

“WeBank Technology Services, supported by Hong Kong’s open business environment, aims to become a hub for technology services delivery, innovation, and sales while remaining committed to advancing the development of the Greater Bay Area,” said Li Nanqing, President of WeBank and Chairman of WeBank Technology Services. “We are also collaborating with local financial partners by offering reliable digital solutions, which supports Chinese companies aiming for international markets and upgrading services and technology.”

As a subsidiary of Shenzhen-based WeBank, WeBank Technology Services is positioned in Hong Kong as the Company’s technology headquarters. This strategic location fosters financial collaboration between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, facilitating financial development and high-quality connectivity in the Greater Bay Area.

A Strong Commitment to Cross-Boundary Collaboration

WeBank Technology Services is already playing a key role in cross-boundary collaborations, contributing to projects like the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cross-Boundary Data Validation Platform. This platform enables secure, efficient digital solutions for sectors such as finance, education, and healthcare, driving digital transformation across the Greater Bay Area.

For example, the Company worked with a local university to enhance information exchange and compliance verification in education, improving the efficiency of academic cooperation. Additionally, WeBank Technology Services contributed blockchain technology to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Ensemble project, driving innovation in Hong Kong’s tokenized markets.

The Company has also demonstrated its technological capabilities through strategic partnerships with local financial institutions in Hong Kong. One example is its collaboration with Fusion Bank to integrate and upgrade the latter’s core banking systems across five key business areas, including retail deposits, retail loans, corporate deposits, corporate loans and foreign exchange services, leveraging its proprietary Openhive digital banking technology. This significantly reduced Fusion Bank’s IT operating costs while enhancing its digital service capabilities, establishing a benchmark for fintech collaboration in Hong Kong.

Expanding into Global Markets with Strategic Partnerships

With expertise in digital finance, infrastructure solutions, and AI-native technology, WeBank Technology Services is now setting its sights on expanding its fintech innovation globally.

From its base in Hong Kong, WeBank Technology Services has rapidly built an expanding network of international partners, with over 20 enterprises and institutions across regions such as Southeast Asia, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong. Notably, the Company has leveraged its proprietary technologies to accelerate digital transformation in Southeast Asia.

In Indonesia, WeBank Technology Services developed a next-generation core banking system for Allo Bank, enhancing its operational flexibility and resilience. By incorporating AI, big data, and cloud computing, the collaboration optimized Allo Bank’s digital services, improving efficiency and reducing costs, while also broadening financial coverage.

Supporting the Overseas Expansion of Chinese Enterprises

In addition to collaborating with international businesses and institutions, WeBank Technology Services also seeks to support the overseas development of Chinese companies. WeBank Technology Services’ proprietary technology systems provide the flexibility and efficiency necessary for industries to thrive in the digital era. The relevant solutions are especially critical as global competition intensifies and economies recover, benefiting industries and businesses around the world.

For instance, as Chinese companies expand into global markets, they often encounter challenges in accessing reliable and efficient local financial services. By partnering with WeBank Technology Services, which offers robust technological capabilities and digital solutions, local financial institutions can better meet the needs of Chinese enterprises operating abroad. This collaboration will further help local institutions address challenges in supply chain finance for enterprises engaged with Chinese companies.

Moving Forward

WeBank Technology Services strives to make Hong Kong a global gateway for its digital infrastructure and international expansion. The Company will continue to play a pivotal role in the development of the Greater Bay Area, driving regional economic growth, and will also work to expand its global reach, forging new partnerships with financial institutions worldwide to provide premium digital services to clients globally.

Leveraging its expertise in digital finance, AI, big data, and blockchain, WeBank Technology Services is committed to leading the digital transformation of the global financial system, delivering safer, smarter, and more efficient services, and fueling the growth of the global digital economy.
