UAE-based Envi Lodges to launch in...

Four new lodges scheduled to open in the next five years

Luxury ecolodge management company ENVI Lodges is set to enter the French market with four high-end sustainable and experiential lodges.

The move will kick-start ENVI’s European growth plans, with the new ecolodges targeting mountain, beach and farm locations across France over the next five years.

Ecotourism is one of France’s fastest developing tourism sectors, growing more than twice the rate of GDP in 2022 and projected to be worth €11.6 billion (US$12.71 billion) by the end of 2023.

ENVI Lodges specialises in low-impact alternative accommodation – not only lodges, but also tents, cabins, treehouses and biophilic pods. Biophilic accommodation is designed to connect architecture to the natural environment.

The brand follows high standards of sustainability, with every ecolodge built around the key pillars of protection of wildlife, the mindful use of natural resources and supporting local communities.

ENVI Lodges co-founder Chris Nader said: “We envisage that our four lodges will be developed in a circuit, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability by centralising resources and services and offering guests four completely different purpose-driven experiences inspired by their location.”

The project will demonstrate how destinations can be developed responsibly while meeting accelerated market demand for mindful and meaningful leisure.

The four-lodge circuit in France will mark phase one, with phase two eyeing developments across Europe in markets including Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece.
