Creator of exceptional hotel projects, Zannier Hotels has announced its appointment by the Ricard family to manage the redesign of the Île de Bendor in the French Mediterranean. Opposite the town of Bandol, at the gateway to Provence, this island was acquired by pastis pioneer Paul Ricard 70 years ago. Much more than a resort project, this is a new chapter with a complete overhaul (architecture, interior design, landscaping), with the aim of offering a range of immersive experiences.
Zannier Hotels will operate all of the island's activities, including an exceptional 93-room hotel, several restaurants and bars with multiple atmospheres, a village of local artisans and a first-rate wellness centre. The project is also designed to ensure a move upmarket in line with the attractiveness and international reputation of the region. A challenge for the brand, which continues to consolidate its reputation as a management company.
