On Bahrain’s stunning Hawar Islands, a UNESCO-designated haven, a sanctuary for both opens its doors this September. Beautiful overwater villas evoking the Maldives may be found at the boutique resort Mantis Bahrain Hawar Island, which is only a short boat ride away.
Dedicated to sustainable principles, this eco-resort offers unmatched luxury and is the first of its kind for the Mantis Group in the Middle East. The resort’s architecture perfectly melds with the surrounding landscape, drawing inspiration from the ancient Bahraini art of al korar.
The islands are a nature lover’s dream come true, known for their colorful coral reefs and migrating birds. In addition to swimming and birdwatching, visitors may see a variety of species, including sand gazelles and Arabian oryx. In addition to being the home of the greatest population of dugongs in the area, the surrounding waterways are abundant in marine life and provide great places for paddleboarding, kayaking, and relaxing picnics.
Beyond leisure, the resort welcomes those with an adventurous attitude. While an adventure park and a water park offer thrills for visitors of all ages, the Bear Grylls Survival Academy will push visitors’ boundaries and refine their survival abilities.
Inspired by the natural beauty and rich culture of the islands, an opulent 1,500-square-meter spa awaits visitors looking for a more peaceful experience. With views of the Arabian Gulf, treatment rooms provide thermal sensations, exercise programs, and an outdoor studio.
Five eating options, including an all-day dining venue and a bar and grill by the pool, will thrill foodies.
Bahrain’s Mantis Hawar Island is a sustainability advocate. The resort works to reduce its environmental impact through water and energy saving measures, trash management programs, and other measures.
“This project reflects our vision to promote sustainable tourism while showcasing Bahrain’s natural beauty,” stated Christopher Calvert, CEO of Edamah, the resort’s developer.
Bookings are expected to open in the coming months, with “affordable luxury” defining the resort’s pricing strategy, according to Anil Ilhan, its Director of Sales and Marketing.
