A luxury resort with overwater villas is set to open on Bahrain’s Hawar Island.
Located a 45-minute boat ride away from Bahrain, Hawar Island is on the tentative list of UNESCO world heritage sites for its natural history.
Mantis Bahrain Hawar Island Hotel & Resort, which will have 72 rooms and suites, will be surrounded by a wildlife sanctuary – becoming one of the first environmentally focused projects in the Middle East.
Guests will get to explore the island’s biodiversity, which includes sand gazelles, Arabian oryx, coral reefs, and dugongs.

Alongside the sanctuary, the resort will also be home to an adventure park, a water park, a tennis court, and a bike track, plus five restaurants.
As a Mantis property, the project will be developed in a sustainable and environmentally aware way, with initiatives to reduce the use of water and reuse biodegradable food waste.
Accor has partnered with Edamah (Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company) to launch the property, which is set to open in 2024.
Edamah CEO Amin Alarrayed said, “The island’s pristine environment has been virtually undisturbed, resulting in a vibrant ecosystem which will appeal to nature lovers.
“Our aim is to showcase this natural beauty while focusing on sustainability to preserve it for future generations.”
