Marriott International and the Leali family, founders of the luxury wellness hospitality brand Lefay, have announced plans for a joint venture bringing Lefay into the Marriott family portfolio.

The first brand dedicated exclusively to luxury wellness in the Marriott portfolio, Lefay features two award-winning luxury resorts in Lago di Garda and Dolomiti, Italy. In addition, the brand currently has three properties under development in Tuscany, Southern Italy and the Swiss Alps.

"Marriott is thrilled to collaborate with the Leali family as we grow our luxury wellness portfolio," said Anthony Capuano, President and CEO, Marriott International in a statement. "Luxury is increasingly defined by wellbeing, purpose and meaningful experiences. We are excited to introduce Lefay to our customers around the world and thoughtfully expand Marriott's presence in the luxury wellness space."

Each Lefay property is designed as an eco-resort, emphasizing architectural harmony with the natural environment, expansive indoor‑outdoor spaces, sustainable materials, and wellness programs that integrate movement, nutrition, and preventative health. Guests may choose from à‑la‑carte treatments or structured multi‑day wellness programs, rooted in Lefay's holistic philosophy.

"Lefay is proud to join Marriott's Luxury Group, alongside some of the most prestigious hotel brands, such as The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION and The Luxury Collection," said Alcide Leali, CEO of Lefay. "Together, we are poised to accelerate the global expansion of the Lefay brand and further reinforce Lefay's position as a leading name in luxury wellness hospitality."
