Bahrain: Hawar Resort by Mantis Officially Opens

Posted in News on 29 January, 2025

Hawar Resort by Mantis, Bahrain has officially opened its doors, welcoming guests to an extraordinary island escape set on Bahrain’s UNESCO-recognised Hawar Island.

Located just 20 kilometres from Bahrain’s mainland, this beachfront resort is designed as a haven for eco-conscious
travellers blending luxury and sustainability. Hawar’s pristine environment has been virtually untouched, resulting in a vibrant ecosystem that will appeal to nature lovers and adventure seekers.

Guests begin their journey at the Durrat Al Bahrain Pavilion, the resort’s dedicated arrival hub, where they are greeted with warm hospitality and a seamless check-in experience. From there, a short 25-minute boat ride takes them directly to the resort.

The resort has 104 stylish accommodations, including guest rooms, two tented suites, beach villas and overwater villas – many with private pools and direct access to the beach. The resort caters to a wide range of guest preferences, from families and couples to solo adventurers.

Commenting on the opening, Andre Erasmus, General Manager of Hawar Resort by Mantis, said: “We are thrilled to open the doors of Hawar Resort by Mantis and invite guests to experience the unmatched beauty of Hawar Island. This resort reflects a deep respect for the environment and Bahrain’s cultural heritage, offering an island retreat that is both luxurious and sustainable.”

Eco credentials: True to its eco-conscious ethos, the resort has been built with sustainability at its core,
integrating advanced conservation techniques and waste management systems to protect the island’s
unique ecosystem. Sustainable materials, such as bamboo replace single-use plastics, while in-room
amenities are thoughtfully designed to minimise environmental impact. This commitment ensures that the
island’s natural beauty and diverse wildlife are preserved for generations to come.

Hawar Resort by Mantis invites guests to immerse themselves in an eco-luxury retreat, where adventure,
relaxation and sustainability come together to create a truly unique experience.
