Zannier Île de Bendor

Zannier Île de Bendor. One Island – One Hideaway. The hotel opening of the year takes place directly off the South French coast: Île de Bendor will become a Zannier resort for luxury travellers from May 2026. Once an artists’ paradise, the private island is being transformed into an elegant year-round destination with a harmoniously designed village in Provençal style.

Three worlds, one philosophy – 93 rooms are nestled within three design worlds, each with its own distinct character: Delos embodies the spirit of the French Riviera in the 1960s. Glamorous, yet never intrusive. Soukana focuses on the essential: wellbeing in its purest form. The two-storey Madrague houses with private gardens offer Riviera charm and enough space for families or groups of friends seeking their own private paradise.

Eight restaurants and bars under the direction of renowned Chef de Cuisine Lionel Levy transform every evening into a small journey around the world. Traditional Provençal cuisine meets Asian fusion dishes – sometimes with views of the Mediterranean, sometimes as an innovative lifestyle concept. Here, food is not merely cooked, but composed. Furthermore, the holistic spa, beach club and in-house diving centre make Zannier Île de Bendor a hideaway that ensures not only relaxation, but also cultural enrichment and sporting moments.

“Mastered Simplicity” – this is how Arnaud Zannier describes his vision since founding Zannier Hotels in 2011. What began with Le Chalet in Megève led him from Cambodia with Zannier Phum Baitang, through Namibia with Omaanda, to Vietnam with Zannier Bãi San Hô. Each property is a tribute to local culture, each an answer to the question: What does true luxury feel like?

On Île de Bendor, Arnaud Zannier finds a new definition: as an island one doesn’t want to leave – and doesn’t have to.
