Get ready to experience a unique blend of eco-luxury, cultural immersion, and exhilarating adventure at Hawar Resort by Mantis, set to open its doors on Bahrain’s pristine Hawar Island in late December 2024. This upscale beachfront haven, located just 20 kilometers from Bahrain’s main island, is poised to redefine luxury travel with its commitment to sustainability and enriching experiences.
Hawar Island, a UNESCO-recognized haven known for its untouched natural beauty, is a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts and adventurers seeking an eco-conscious escape. The resort’s 102 exquisitely crafted accommodations, inspired by Bahrain’s rich heritage of Al-Korar, the art of thobe weaving, offer a choice of spacious rooms in the main hotel or private beachside and overwater villas. Immerse yourself in luxury with the overwater villas, each boasting a private pool for a secluded and immersive experience, appearing to float above the pristine turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf.
Hawar Resort embraces Bahrain’s cultural richness, seamlessly blending traditional Bahraini techniques with modern aesthetics. The resort’s architecture incorporates native materials like limestone and lime-render, showcasing the cooling cross-ventilation method inspired by Bahraini tradition. Tent-like structures cast shade, resembling sand dunes and adding a touch of comfort throughout the resort.
One of the resort’s standout features is the Bear Grylls Survival Academy (BGSA) Train Like Bear Zone, crafted by the renowned adventurer Bear Grylls and his team of expert instructors. This academy caters to both families and seasoned explorers, offering thrilling survival training and outdoor challenges that test endurance, collaboration, and wilderness skills.
Beyond the BGSA, Hawar Resort offers a diverse range of activities for every preference. Enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, and other water sports, while younger guests can embark on their own adventures at the dedicated kids’ and teens’ club. Unwind and rejuvenate at the on-site spa, where soothing treatments await, complemented by a resort pool leading to the seafront and a well-equipped fitness center.
Indulge in a culinary journey at Hawar Resort’s five dining venues, each showcasing local flavors and fresh Gulf seafood. From the full-day restaurant to the poolside grill, there’s something to tantalize every palate. The highlight is C-Salt, an innovative dining spot featuring seasonal pop-ups and guest chef appearances.
Hawar Resort by Mantis stands as a pioneer in eco-friendly hospitality in the Middle East, prioritizing sustainability in every aspect of its operation. Waste sorting, reuse of biodegradable materials, and advanced water and energy-saving systems ensure the preservation of Hawar Island’s beauty for future generations. This commitment to mindful travel offers a choice for environmentally aware travelers.
With final preparations nearing completion, Hawar Resort by Mantis is set to welcome its first guests in December 2024. Reservations will be available from December 1, 2024, allowing you to secure your spot at this distinctive eco-luxury resort and experience Bahrain’s treasured island sanctuary.
