Please help us welcome the newest addition to the Hidden Doorways collection: Zannier Hotels!

Zannier brings a distinctive sense of place to each of its destinations, whether it’s a private Mediterranean island, tented suites above the Namibian desert, or a village of Khmer-inspired villas set among Cambodian rice fields.

We’re thrilled to represent the brand’s six hotels, spanning France, Namibia, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Founder Arnaud Zannier’s philosophy of “Mastered Simplicity” runs throughout, bringing a unified sense of understated luxury, thoughtful design, and experiences rooted in local culture.

✦ Leading the introduction is the newest addition: Zannier Île de Bendor, which opened in May following a five-year transformation of the Ricard family’s island off the coast of Bandol. Just a seven-minute boat ride from the mainland, its 93 rooms and suites share a car-free setting with an artisans’ village, lively restaurants, and the new Rēsonance wellness center.

✦ Zannier Sonop appears almost as a mirage: ten luxury canvas tents raised on granite boulders in the Namib Desert. Designed in the spirit of a 1920s expedition camp, it’s furnished with four-poster beds, colorful carpets, and polished brass.

✦ Zannier Omaanda pays tribute to traditional Ovambo architecture, with fifteen round thatched huts set within a 22,000-acre private conservation reserve in Namibia.

✦ Zannier Phum Baitang means “green village” in Khmer, and the name is meant literally. On the rural outskirts of Siem Reap, 45 stilted wooden villas sit among rice paddies and tropical gardens, close enough for sunrise visits to Angkor’s iconic temples.

✦ Zannier Bāi San Hô brings 73 standalone villas to a secluded coral bay in Vietnam, offering one of the country’s top beachside resort experiences.

✦ Zannier Le Chalet sits just above Megève, France, a ten-minute stroll from its cobblestone streets and village square. Twelve individually designed rooms and suites pair understated interiors with iconic mountain views.

We’ve got a first look at the new Gili Lagoon Retreat at Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives – an overwater villa with a walkway to your own private island!

The two-bedroom hideaway connects directly to Three Palm Island via a new 213-foot walkway, giving your clients exclusive access to a secluded beach and sandbank.

They can start the day with breakfast on the sand, slip into the lagoon for an afternoon swim, then wander back to the island for sunset cocktails.

The villa offers nearly 4,000 square feet of space, with expansive outdoor decks, a rooftop terrace with a Maldivian swing, a private steam room, and a wellness and workout space. Gili's signature Mr./Ms. Friday butler service is on hand around the clock to arrange everything from sandbank picnics to private dinners.

For your clients who love life over the water and barefoot days on the beach, this brings both together beautifully.

Tomorrow, Serras Sevilla opens beside Seville's Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. The cathedral's bell tower fills the windows of the rooms facing Avenida de la Constitución, the grand avenue at the heart of the city's daily life. In a city defined by its historic center, this is the center of the center.

The brand-new boutique hotel has just 43 rooms and suites, offering the feeling of staying in one of Seville's great houses. The spaces set contemporary elegance against unmistakably Sevillian texture and on top of the building, a pool reserved exclusively for guests looks across the historic skyline.

We’re thrilled to welcome this incredible new property into our collection this month!

In a city where luxury has long been measured in grand formality, Serras Sevilla measures it in personal attention. The boutique scale is the point: service here is tailored to each guest, beginning before arrival, whether that means every day planned or the freedom to wander with a few insider tips in hand.

The Guest Relations Team can arrange a tour of the Royal Alcázar, an evening of flamenco in the tablaos of Santa Cruz, a curated tapas journey through the city's hidden taverns, or a sunset boat ride on the Guadalquivir with the old city's landmarks drifting past.

Few properties can promise a city this completely. Fewer still can deliver it from the front row.
