Atmosphere Core Expands into Europe with Italian Luxury Retreat
In a landmark move for the international hospitality industry, Maldives-based hotelier Atmosphere Core has announced its entry into the European market. The company, known for its rapid expansion and innovative hospitality approach, will launch BORGO MONCHIERO HERITAGE BY ATMOSPHERE, a luxury rural retreat in the scenic Langhe, Piedmont, Italy.
A Decade of Rapid Growth
Starting with a single resort in the Maldives in 2013, Atmosphere Core has quickly risen to become a major hospitality player in the region. Over the past two years, the company has expanded its portfolio to include over 25 properties across India and South Asia, positioning itself for international growth.
Group Managing Director Salil Panigrahi attributes the company's success to its unique culture of service:
"Since launching our first resort in 2013, we have forged a unique cultural belief in the ethos 'Joy of Giving'. By maintaining and strengthening this core value, we can bring our distinctive hospitality offerings to the world. At Atmosphere Core, we craft unforgettable moments that transcend geographical boundaries—creating experiences, not just hotels."
Strategic Partnerships Driving Expansion
As part of its international strategy, Atmosphere Core has established key partnerships across Europe. Among these, its Wine Program Initiative has partnered with Bottega S.p.A., the world's leading Prosecco brand. This collaboration will not only bring award-winning wines to Atmosphere Core's properties but also introduce themed culinary experiences.
"Significant partnerships like Bottega take our business to every corner of the planet," Panigrahi noted. "This special relationship is just one of many that brought Italy to Atmosphere Core, and now we are bringing Atmosphere Core to Italy. We are excited to launch our first European destination in 2026."
