India Tops Asia’s 8 Big Wins At World Travel Awards 2025
India just had a huge night at the World Travel Awards 2025. Eight Asian titles went to top hotels, resorts, and an airport lounge, showing how strong the country’s hospitality scene is.
Reporters note that this success came at the 32nd edition of the World Travel Awards, often called the Oscars of tourism. India now stands out for luxury, wellness, wildlife, and wedding stays, not only for big cities.
Full list of India’s eight Asia titles
1. Asia’s Leading Boutique Hotel 2025: The Postcard on the Arabian Sea, Maravanthe Beach, Karnataka
The Postcard has only nine sea-facing rooms, just steps from the surf, so guests hear waves and walk on a near-empty beach. It keeps the focus on slow time, simple design, and a calm luxury stay on the Karnataka coast.
2. Asia’s Leading Domestic Airport Lounge 2025: Adani International Lounge, Terminal 2, Mumbai
This airport lounge at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport serves buffet meals and hot and cold drinks and has shower rooms, spa services, charging points, and work zones, plus Wi-Fi and quiet seating away from the main crowd.
3. Asia’s Leading Hotel 2025: The Oberoi, New Delhi
This Oberoi hotel looks toward Humayun’s Tomb and a large golf course and has hosted guests since 1965. Oberoi keeps rooms sharp and service close to perfect, so both business and leisure guests return often. The new title of Asia's leading hotel lifts its image as the best hotel in the capital and shows how an Indian hotel can stand with any in the world.
4. Asia’s Leading Hotel Suite 2025: Kohinoor Suite, The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur
This suite spreads over 246 square metres, with gold domes, mirror work, carved screens, and its own pool, while guests look toward Lake Pichola, the Aravalli hills, and the City Palace. Many visitors see a night here as a rare treat worth saving for.
5. Asia’s Leading Luxury Camping Company 2025: The Ultimate Travelling Camp (TUTC)
The group runs mobile-style tents in places like Chamba, Kohima, Prayagraj, and Ranthambore. Each camp offers soft beds, hot showers, full meals, and staff who lead guests through local culture and nature.
6. Asia’s Leading Retreat 2025: Six Senses Vana, Dehradun
This forest-side retreat brings together Ayurveda, yoga, Tibetan medicine, and other natural therapies in one planned program. Guests follow set schedules, join sessions, meet experts, and eat planned menus so they can reset mind and body in a quiet setting.
7. Asia’s Leading Wedding Hotel 2025: Shiv Vilas Resort, Jaipur
Shiv Vilas spans 32 acres outside Jaipur and showcases palace-style arches, domes, and gardens. The resort hosts large events with an infinity pool, spa, and many halls, which makes it a top wedding hotel for big Indian families.
8. Asia’s Leading Wildlife Resort 2025: The Postcard Gir Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat
This Indian resort sits on 16 acres of mango trees near the edge of the Gir forest and has only 15 rooms. Guests wake to bird calls, sit by the pool, and may even hear the roar of Gir’s lions at night, while still enjoying strong comfort and service.
Why these wins matter for India
For brands, these hotel awards bring global attention and steady bookings. For travel lovers, this lists work like a ready-made short list when they plan trips or pick a special stay.
India’s mix of palace stays, forest retreats, and seafront hideouts now covers every style, from short city breaks to long wellness breaks. The wins also push smaller hotel and homestay owners to raise their own standards and aim higher.
India now shapes the high-end map of Asian travel. As the World Travel Awards team releases more regional and global results, many eyes will stay on Indian names. With strong suites, lounges, wildlife stays, and retreats already leading Asia, the next round of results could bring even better news for the country.
