Mantis Collection has announced that its latest project will be the development of a 5-star hotel on the island of St Helena, a British overseas territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean.
St Helena is one of the most remote places in the world, more than 2,000 kilometres from the nearest major landmass. A team of six from Mantis including founder and chairman, Adrian Gardiner, visited the island in January of this year and identified Ladder Hill Fort as the location for the 5-star hotel, which will have 45 bedrooms including 10 self-catering units, as well as a restaurant, spa and fitness facilities.
Over the next six months Mantis will be carrying out a feasibility and costing exercise with the aim of commencing building towards the end 2013 and opening the hotel in 2015. The island, which is currently accessed by the last commercially operating Royal Mail Ship, will be opening its own airport in January 2016.
