Sam Nazarian to Deliver Keynote at 2025 Global Wellness Summit in Dubai

Sam Nazarian to Headline 2025 Global Wellness Summit The Global Wellness Summit™ (GWS) has announced that influential entrepreneur and hospitality leader, Sam Nazarian, will headline the keynote address at the upcoming 2025 summit. Set to be held from November 18-21, 2025, in Dubai, the summit marks the 19th annual gathering aimed at promoting dialogue among leaders in the fast-growing $6.3 trillion global wellness economy. Nazarian is renowned for transforming the hospitality industry through his company, sbe Entertainment Group, known for premium brands such as SLS Hotels, Hyde Lounge, and Mondrian Hotels. His latest venture, The Estate, which he co-founded with luminaries like Tony Robbins, Marc Anthony, and Richard Attias, seeks to redefine luxury living with an emphasis on longevity. The Estate aims to launch an impressive portfolio of 15 hotels and residences along with 10 longevity clubs by 2030, with its first club opening in Los Angeles later this year. During his keynote discussion with Shawn Buchheit, the president and COO of Fountain Life, Nazarian plans to unveil an innovative vision that merges wellness, longevity, and an elevated hospitality experience, a concept that has become increasingly relevant in today's society. Susie Ellis, chair and CEO of the Global Wellness Summit, expressed enthusiasm regarding Nazarian’s approach: “Sam has always possessed an instinct for where culture and commerce intersect. With The Estate, he continues to push boundaries, merging luxury with longevity in a manner that sets a new industry standard.” Ellis remarked that their collaboration, along with Fountain Life’s expertise in advanced diagnostics, is poised to redefine healthy living and luxury travel. The Evolution of Luxury Nazarian reflected on the evolving definition of luxury, noting, “In 2006, SLS Hotels was a pioneering force in the lifestyle sector. Today, luxury represents longevity. The Estate is not just about creating luxury hotels; we are developing transformative environments that harness the benefits of longevity while offering exceptional guest experiences.” Furthermore, Nazarian emphasized that they are not building “medical hotels”—their vision is rooted in creating luxurious residences and urban longevity clubs that enrich lives and foster overall well-being. The collaborative efforts of himself and well-respected figures, like Robbins and Anthony, aim to build a brand synonymous with excellence, philanthropy, and love. Buchheit added, “At Fountain Life, we push the limits of what’s possible in health and prevention. Collaborating with visionary leaders like Sam allows us to weave cutting-edge diagnostics and personalized health strategies into luxury hospitality, enriching the experiences of our guests.” This collaboration is about making health optimization a natural part of life rather than just a single event. Summit Highlights and Themes The theme for the 2025 Summit, “Longevity Through a Wellness Lens,” aims to spotlight advancements occurring at the intersection of health, wellness, and lifestyle design. Not only will Nazarian and Buchheit participate, but a diverse group of global leaders will engage in discussions on topics ranging from wellness travel and real estate design to investment opportunities in beauty and fitness industries. The event will take place at the recently inaugurated Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai, showcasing both luxury and innovation.
