JW Marriott and Flamingo Estate Debut a Brand Partnership to guide Travellers on a Sensorial Journey Rooted in Well-Being

JW Marriot Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, Bengaluru, September 4, 2024 – Scent. Sound. Taste. Three of the most powerful senses are at the core of the new brand partnership by JW Marriott, Flamingo Estate, 

The JW Marriott collaboration with Flamingo Estate, was unveiled by an elegant evening of celebrations held on September 3, 2024, at the JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, the inaugural venue for this collaboration in South Asia. This significant event also served as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the iconic JW Marriott brand, which has spent four decades epitomizing luxury and refinement in its properties and distinctive resorts in 40 countries and territories around the world. In honor of this milestone, the brand is celebrating with a series of signature Garden Parties hosted across select JW Marriott properties globally. These exclusive events seamlessly fuse the sophistication of luxury hospitality with the tranquil beauty of nature.

Guests were invited to embark on a refined multi-sensory journey; enveloped in an elegant garden-inspired fragrance entitled “Expansion”, accompanied by curated nature-infused soundscapes. A celebration of true hospitality, the exclusive dinner featured exquisitely presented cuisine and décor that showcased the unique offerings of Flamingo Estate. Each dish was meticulously prepared with fresh, locally sourced produce from the resort’s JW Garden and was enhanced by the soft, flickering glow of butter candles.

 “Together, JW Marriott and Flamingo Estate are reimagining luxury hospitality by cultivating a fusion of elegance and sensorial experiences that deeply resonate with travelers seeking to elevate their path of well-being,”  

“We are honoured to be the first to unveil the JW Marriott and Flamingo Estate collaboration in India, while celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary milestone,”  “This event embodies our commitment to redefining luxury by blending elegance with immersive experiences, offering a setting that harmoniously combines sophistication with genuine hospitality. The occasion was both memorable and transformative, nurturing the well-being of our guests.”

Ronan Fearon, General Manager of JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa.

Serenity Through Scent

Inspired by the JW Garden, a space to connect with nature at JW Marriott properties around the world where herbs and produce grow in harmony as part of the guest culinary experience, Flamingo Estate, together with JW Marriott, has carefully crafted an exclusive, co-branded scent: Expansion. The moment they are welcomed in, guests at JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa will be met with an herbaceous and uplifting scent that beckons presence and expansion. The verdant aroma provides a direct conduit to the natural world with notes of lush greenery, damp earth, and rich flowers, adorned with a base of warm, creamy woods. Other complementary ingredients include white lotus flower and rosemary. The scent is energized by the Holy Basil plant, known as the “Queen of Herbs”, which is revered for its adaptogenic qualities and has a unique ability to promote balance depending on the individual’s needs. This elixir has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a tonic for the mind, body, and spirit. The Expansion scent will also be encapsulated in a signature candle that is hand poured in Los Angeles.

Harmonizing Wellness with Sound

JW Marriott and Flamingo Estate have developed four exclusive playlists, each meticulously crafted to correspond with the distinct energy of the different times of the day, respectively titled: Aurora, Sun, Dusk, and Moon. These signature playlists have been designed to foster a profound connection to Mother Nature and encourage mindfulness.  

Sweetening the JW Journey

As the third product of the sensorial partnership, JW Marriott and Flamingo Estate have expertly crafted a signature honey. This classic California wildflower co-branded honey features adaptogenic Holy Basil and Bergamot to promote well-being and resilience to stress. It will be available to JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa guests, where they will delight in the sumptuous taste of one of the world’s most ancient elixirs. The co-branded honey captures a fleeting moment in the season where flowers burst into blooms, fossilized in a sweet nectar full of nuance and promise.

 About Flamingo Estate

In the early 1940s, a determined pair of young entrepreneurs arrived in California to realize their vision of an earthly paradise. High atop the hills of Los Angeles, hidden by a lush orchard and dense gardens, the flamingo-pink estate became a hedonistic enclave; a haven for creativity and collaboration in the City of Angels. Today Flamingo Estate is the home and orchard of Richard Christiansen (Founder of Chandelier Creative and Owl Bureau). The estate was restored and expanded by Paris-based design-duo Studio KO (also behind the Saint Laurent museum in Morocco and London’s Chiltern Firehouse). In the spirit of its origins, Flamingo Estate offers nourishing botanicals, produce and provisions from a diverse ecosystem of makers and growers. Together, we cultivate pleasure from the garden. The brand delivers fresh organic produce to thousands of homes each week. It also produces a range of intentional products from nature – bath and body, candles, tinctures, oils, honey, fresh flowers and more. We measure everything against a rigorous set of criteria to ensure that we’re not only reducing harm, but we’re taking one step further to benefit the earth, too
