Creators of exceptional, one-of-a-kind hospitality projects, Zannier Hotels is taking on the redesign of iconic French private island Île de Bendor, facing the city of Bandol in Provence. Over the next three years, Île de Bendor will undergo a complete transformation once again becoming a buzzing social hub in the bay of Bandol, embodying the playful spirit of the French Riviera. Emerging as a Provençal-style village and convivial gathering space rooted in the island’s old-world glamour and inimitable spirit, the island will be home to numerous restaurants, bars and social spaces. Zannier Hotels is partnering with Société Paul Ricard to modernise the island and build on its founder’s legacy, Paul Ricard.
Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Zannier Hotels Bendor will be a boutique hotel with 93 rooms composed of several categories spread across different buildings with their own unique atmosphere. It will feature a range of amenities, including a wellness centre, beach club, diving centre, an exciting array of food and beverage hot-spots, various different leisure facilities and much more. The launch, set for 2026, is an exciting next chapter for Zannier Hotels, as it will manage and operate the island destination from start to finish.
