The ALL Accor Live Limitless (Accor) Explorer programme is set to expand its reach across the Middle East and South Asia, adding ten new countries to its list of participating regions. This expansion will come into effect on October 1, 2026. The programme had previously expanded to the United Arab Emirates and opened an office in Japan.

• Expansion effective: 1 October 2026

• New participating countries: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia

• Current membership price (USD): $249

Membership Fee Adjustment

Alongside the expansion, the pricing for ALL Accor Explorer in these regions, which is denominated in USD, will be adjusted. The current membership fee of $249 will increase to $255 starting October 1, 2026. The programme’s website for the UAE (a region that recently joined) indicates this pricing structure.

Programme Benefits

ALL Accor Explorer membership includes several benefits for frequent travellers. Members receive two free nights annually when booking stays of two nights or more, applicable twice a year at over 1,400 hotels across the Asia Pacific and UAE. Other advantages include access to 'Red Hot Rooms' offering up to 50% off hotel stays, and dining discounts of 30% off food and 15% off drinks for up to ten guests at participating restaurants and bars in Asia Pacific, UAE and the newly added countries.

Globally, members receive a 15% discount on stays at more than 30 Accor brands and over 5,000 hotels. A key benefit for elite status seekers is the guaranteed ALL Accor Live Limitless Gold status, along with an automatic bonus of 30 Status Nights each year of membership. The programme also offers exclusive member-only events and 'More Escapes' packages in the Asia Pacific and UAE regions.

Opinion

The expansion of ALL Accor Explorer to ten additional countries is a clear win for travellers in these regions, offering tangible benefits like free nights and dining discounts where they weren't available before. It remains to be seen if there's further additions; I assume yes, as the numbers obviously work out for Accor and the individual hotels. The small price increase is understandable, as Accor also has to be aware of inflation, but I do hope that we won't see any silent devaluations or 'restructuring' on a yearly basis.
