French-owned global hospitality group, Accor, plans to open the Mantis Soanambo Hotel & Spa on Nosy Boraha in Madagascar.
Located in the southwest of the island, the new 48-room oceanfront hotel is earmarked to open in May, marking the first international hospitality brand in Nosy Boraha.
The island, also known as Ile Sainte-Marie, is 45 minutes by air from Antananarivo, via Tsaradia airlines, the domestic division of Air Madagascar.
The hotel will offer a bar and restaurant, as well as two swimming pools with views of the ocean.
"We're excited to expand into Madagascar and delighted that our partner has chosen Accor and Mantis to revive the beautiful Soanambo Hotel," said Adrian Gardiner, Executive Chairman of the Mantis Collection.
"We are confident that Mantis will be a great match, bringing the hotel back into the Sainte-Marie Island community, where it has enjoyed a long history and excellent reputation. Mantis is an exceptional hospitality brand that will bring a sense of sustainability and eco-luxury to the property, with thoughtful actions that will delight its guests as well as its local neighbours."
Joining ibis Hotel and Spa Antananarivo and Novotel Convention and Spa Antananarivo, Mantis Soanambo Hotel & Spa will be the third Accor hotel under the same ownership group in Madagascar.
