Zannier Île de Bendor

Zannier Île de Bendor marks Zannier Hotels' takeover of a private 7-hectare island off Bandol on the French Riviera, opened May 1, 2026. The island — purchased and developed in the 1950s by pastis magnate Paul Ricard — has been reimagined by Belgian hotelier Arnaud Zannier across three distinct settings: Delos (the main hotel), Soukana (cabins clustered in the pines), and Madrague (private villas by the sea). Total inventory is 93 keys, ranging from rooms to multi-bedroom villas. The culinary program is led by Marseille-based chef Lionel Levy. The island includes multiple beaches, a marina, a chapel, art exhibition spaces, and the island's historic museum collections — all accessible by private boat shuttle from Bandol harbor.
