Nature lovers and adventure seekers looking for an eco-focused retreat will have a new resort to experience later this year.
Hawar Resort by Mantis on Bahrain’s pristine Hawar Island is nearing completion, embodying a blend of luxury, eco-consciousness and cultural homage.
Situated 20 kilometres from the main island of Bahrain, the beachfront resort prioritises sustainability and invites guests to embark on land activities and water adventures while enjoying luxurious accommodations.
Recognised by UNESCO for its natural history, Hawar Island has long been undisturbed, allowing a vibrant eco-system to thrive.
Set to open in late December, the resort boasts 102 rooms inspired by the ancient custom of Al-Korar, a Bahraini tradition of weaving thobes together. There are 40 rooms within the main hotel while a variety of beach and over-the-water villas cater to different preferences.
The overwater villas, all with their own private pool, are set against the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf.
One of the resort’s standout features is the Bear Grylls Survival Academy (BGSA) Train Like Bear Zone, designed by Bear Grylls and his handpicked team of BGSA Instructors.
The Academy offers a range of survival courses and outdoor challenges that test participants’ resilience, teamwork and outdoor skills, creating a memorable experience for families and seasoned adventurers alike.
Complementing the BGSA Train Like Bear Zone, is an array of other outdoor activities and water sports including stand up paddleboarding and kayaking to keep guests active and entertained, while younger guests can retreat to the kids’ and teens’ club for their own little adventures.
There is an onsite spa, offering soothing and rejuvenating therapies, a resort pool leading to the seafront, state-of-the-art gym and five dining outlets.
Reservations open from December 1 and bookings and enquiries can be made via mantiscollection.com.
