Set to open in 2020, Your Nature, an Unscripted Eco Resort by Dream Hotel Group, is a one-of-a-kind leisure destination designed with sustainability and conservation in mind.
Located on preserved land owned by the princely family for over 300 years, the eco-tourism resort will be 100% environmental-friendly and built to maximize the conservation of the biodiversity and natural resources on the estate.
“For almost 15 years, we have invested all our energy in creating an eco-leisure destination focused solely on nature,” said Belgium’s Prince Edouard de Ligne. “The resort’s avant-garde, original design mixes old and new in an authentic experience that is respectful of the environment. The choice of Dream Hotel Group as management partner is crucial to bringing our philosophy to life.”
“Dream Hotel Group is honored to partner with Prince Edouard de Ligne on the opening of Your Nature in Antoing, Belgium,” said Dream Hotel Group CEO Jay Stein. “As we continue to expand into new markets and build our brand as international hospitality leaders, we are grateful to have found this opportunity to work with Your Nature to build a memorable destination for travelers in Europe.”
Nestled among 700 hundred acres of preserved natural forestland which contains a river and six private lakes, Your Nature will take advantage of the land with 575 eco-lodges, multiple dining and nightlife concepts, and vast recreational facilities, including an expansive wellness center with full-service spa, Turkish bath, yoga and fitness center and multiple indoor and outdoor pools.
A private airstrip with gliding classes and exclusive water ski school complete the visitor experience, which pays homage to the richness of the ecosystem.
Your Nature aims to offer an experience where guests can find serenity, reconnect with loved ones, and spend quality time with friends and family in a secluded nature retreat. By providing guests with the freedom to choose and a quality stay, visitors will rediscover the simple pleasures and joy of the outdoors.
Your Nature offers diverse experiences in housing and a multitude of recreational activities based on the four elements of earth, air, water, and fire.
Your Nature is located on the western edge of Belgium in Antoing, a town in close proximity to several major metropolitan cities and less than two hours from London, Paris, and Brussels. The project required 81 million euros of investments, including 23.4 million euros of private equity. The de Ligne family is the main shareholder.
In addition to today’s Belgium announcement, the de Linge family and Dream Hotel Group plan to expand the Your Nature into new markets across Europe and North America.
With 18 hotels open today and 20 new locations currently in development worldwide, Dream Hotel Group is on track to triple its existing portfolio by 2022.
The signing of Your Nature, an Unscripted Eco Resort by Dream Hotel Group, signals another exciting milestone in the continued growth and evolution of the company and its portfolio of lifestyle brands.
