A new stylish 93-key hotel, Zannier Île de Bendor will open its doors on May 1st, 2026 after a five-year transformation of Île de Bendor, one of the Côte d’Azur’s most famous private islands. With design and ambience rooted in the spirit of conviviality, the truly one-of-a-kind immersive destination will bring a new social, culinary and wellness capital to the Mediterranean.
Just a seven-minute boat ride from the coastal town of Bandol in Provence, Île de Bendor is a small private island known for its history and old-world glamour. Bandol – once a traditional fishing village – is now known for its seaside charm, pretty port, and Provencal vineyards. From Zannier Île de Bendor, visitors can explore the diverse landscapes of Provence – vineyards, hilltop villages, and lavender fields – as well as the nearby French Riviera. The island itself offers a tranquil retreat with views of the Mediterranean, and easy access to the natural and cultural attractions of southern France.
