Hawar Resort by Mantis: Newcomer in the Persian Gulf
Desert meets water
They still exist, the almost untouched places that even frequent travelers say little about. Hawar Island, a desert island declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site with unique bird breeding grounds, an impressive underwater world and the endangered Socotra Comorans, is one such place. Located around 20 km off the south-east coast of Bahrain's main island, the Hawar Resort by Mantis opened here in January. The elegant, beachfront resort has 40 rooms in the main building as well as 62 beach and overwater villas, whose interiors are inspired by local handicrafts. Whether it's the numerous land and water activities on offer or the trendy C-Salt restaurant, which acts as a pop-up for celebrity chefs from all over the world, the resort is committed to the highest sustainability standards. So at least your green conscience will be soothed on your vacation in Bahrain.
