Accor to bring Mantis Collection’s eco-minded charm to Madagascar with new hotel & spa on Sainte Mar
Accor, a world-renowned hospitality group, has announced plans to open Mantis Soanambo Hotel & Spa on Nosy Boraha (Ile Sainte-Marie) in Madagascar, marking the first international hospitality brand on the island. The Mantis Collection, part of Accor, is a renowned conservation-led hospitality company that prioritizes the preservation of local communities, wildlife, and the environment. The 48-room oceanfront hotel, which plans to reopen in May 2023, will fly the Mantis flag and offer guests an exceptional hospitality experience.
Accor has partnered with the hotel's owner to bring Mantis hotels, eco-lodges, and waterways to Madagascar, joining ibis Hotel and Spa Antananarivo and Novotel Convention and Spa Antananarivo as the third Accor hotel under the same ownership group in Madagascar's capital city, diversifying the group's brand offering in the country.
Guests at Mantis Soanambo Hotel & Spa will be warmly welcomed in the breezy, open-plan reception area and invited to relax at the delightful bar and restaurant. The hotel features two serene swimming pools with incomparable views of the ocean, just a few meters away. The tranquil beaches and laid-back atmosphere of Nosy Boraha make it an ideal spot for a secluded getaway.
Located in the Southwest part of the island, Mantis Soanambo Hotel & Spa enjoys calm seas and shelter from prevailing weather conditions, with the Island of Nosy Boraha just a 45-minute flight from Antananarivo via Tsaradia airlines, the domestic division of Air Madagascar.
Each Mantis property celebrates its unique destination, offering creatively curated experiences that introduce guests to the essence of the surrounding community's culture, history, and people. Mantis follows a philosophy of responsible and ecologically sensitive development and operations, supporting the local environment while conserving and maintaining all natural resources.
Mantis Soanambo Hotel & Spa will operate in accordance with Accor's environmental and energy efficiency reporting tools, internal carbon price monitoring, eco-certification programs, and brand standard sustainability criteria.
