What Hawar Resort by Mantis does

Hawar Resort by Mantis is a luxury sustainable resort located on Hawar Island, Bahrain, approximately 30 minutes by boat from the Durrat Al Bahrain Welcome Pavilion on the mainland. The property operates under the Mantis brand, which sits within the Accor SA portfolio, and is positioned as a pioneering environmentally focused destination in the GCC, surrounded by a wildlife sanctuary. It offers 104 accommodations spanning studios, suites, beach villas, overwater villas, and a Royal Villa, with sea or dune views, alongside five dining venues, a full-service spa, a kids water park, an adventure park, the Bear Grylls Adventure Zone by BGSA, a kids and teens club with nanny services, a pool, and a 1.8 km private beach.

The commercial operation runs on Accor's hospitality technology platform, with the website (hawarresort.com) hosted on Amazon Web Services and integrated into Accor's central reservation system, the ALL (Accor Live Limitless) loyalty programme, and the global Accor distribution network. The site supports English and Arabic, provides an online booking engine, and offers newsletter subscription segmented by interest (special offers, restaurants and bars, spa and wellness). Distribution is primarily direct through the resort's own website and Accor channels, with the boat transfer from Durrat Al Bahrain functioning as a key logistics and access gating component.

Revenue is generated from accommodation bookings, food and beverage, spa and wellness services, and adventure and recreation activities (water park, adventure park, Bear Grylls Adventure Zone, kids and teens club, nanny services). Room rates are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base comprises leisure travellers and tourists (primary), corporate and MICE groups, and GCC regional tourists from Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar. The legal entity operating the website is ACCOR SA, a publicly traded French hospitality company headquartered in Paris.
