Golden Globes Gift Bag Includes Luxury Hotel Stays and Travel Experiences
Golden Globes gift bags have long been renowned for their excess, but the 2026 edition takes that reputation to new heights by putting luxury travel at the forefront. This year’s package at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes is valued at nearly $1 million and is built around experiences—specifically, high-end hotel stays and once-in-a-lifetime trips across the globe.
A Gift Bag Built Around Travel
The 83rd Annual Golden Globes gift bag includes 35 total offerings across travel, beauty, wellness, wine, and spirits. Travel leads the list by a wide margin.
Nearly half of the available selections involve hotel stays, yacht charters, or curated trips, which is almost double the count from last year.
Recipients do not receive everything. Instead, each person chooses the experiences that fit their interests. Some options are limited to just a few people, which adds another layer of exclusivity.
The bag itself is anchored by a custom Atlas Bespoke duffel, specifically designed for the event. Inside, recipients find a detailed guide outlining every available option, along with its retail value and availability.
Hotel Stays That Make Headlines
Several hotel experiences stand out due to both price and setting. The Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is one of the most talked-about options. This undersea residence offers two nights below the surface, followed by two nights in an ocean pavilion above water. The experience typically carries a price tag of around $70,000.
Another highlight of the Maldives includes a three-night stay at the Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa. The Residence villa, which spans six bedrooms, is valued at $80,000 and ranks as one of the most expensive choices in the entire bag.
Elsewhere, recipients can choose a Royal Suite stay at Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, beachfront villas in Turks and Caicos valued at around $50,000, or private estates in Jamaica and Mexico. Each option places a strong emphasis on privacy, space, and personalized service.
Beyond Hotels: Travel With a Twist

Not every travel pick involves a hotel check-in. Some recipients may opt for a five-day luxury yacht charter sailing through Indonesia’s Coral Triangle, priced at about $60,000. Others can select multi-stop lodge stays across New Zealand.
There are also experiences tied to events rather than destinations, including behind-the-scenes access to international racing events and curated automotive weekends. These offerings blur the line between travel and lifestyle perks.
A Reflection Of Where Luxury Is Headed
The Golden Globes gift bag used to lean heavily on physical goods, including skincare, jewelry, and tech accessories. Today, travel offers something more challenging to replicate and easier to remember.
Luxury hotels and resorts also benefit greatly. A single stay shared among industry insiders can spark long-term buzz without a traditional ad campaign. For recipients, these trips deliver value that lasts longer than any product’s shelf life.
The approach also fits modern celebrity schedules. Experiences can be redeemed months or even years later, which takes away the pressure to use everything at once.
