An industrial partnership for floating tourism
Faced with the boom in sustainable tourism and on-water accommodation concepts, players in the floating habitat sector are looking to structure their offering. It's against this backdrop that Anthenea, designer of luxury self-contained capsules, and Sealoft, manufacturer of contemporary floating homes, have formalized a collaboration designed to provide a joint response to tourism and hotel development projects.
The partnership involves pooling the technical and commercial expertise of the two companies, each providing a complementary response to the growing demand for modular, eco-responsible accommodation on water.
Two approaches, one vision of water-based tourism
The two companies share a common base: an eco-conscious design concept for floating homes, focusing on the user experience and reducing the environmental footprint.
Anthenea specializes in energy-sufficient spherical units, installed on lagoons or protected bodies of water. These capsules, powered by solar panels, are designed as floating hotel suites.
Sealoft, for its part, is developing rectangular floating homes measuring around 48 square meters, designed for living alongside a quay or on inland waterways. Their open, luminous architecture emphasizes living comfort and landscape integration.
The combination of the two brands enables us to offer a complete range of products, from top-of-the-range autonomous capsules to floating residential modules, capable of adapting to different environments and tourism business models.
A joint response to a booming market
The slow tourism and experiential accommodation market is growing fast. More and more local authorities, investors and hotel operators are looking for innovative accommodation solutions with low environmental impact and high added aesthetic value.
By joining forces, Anthenea and Sealoft aim to structure a French offering capable of competing with Scandinavian and Dutch projects already established in this segment.
The two partners intend to work together to respond to public and private tenders, particularly in coastal areas, lakes and protected bodies of water. The alliance also facilitates the export of concepts to sustainability-sensitive markets such as the Middle East, Asia and the Caribbean.
A shared commitment to sustainability and design
This partnership is based on the same technical and environmental approach:
- use of recyclable materials and low-impact construction processes,
- use of energy and water self-sufficient systems,
- integration of soft mobility elements to limit the artificialization of host sites.
On the industrial front, the two companies will retain their production independence, while pooling their sales engineering and design skills. The aim is to strengthen their competitiveness in the face of the growing power of foreign solutions in the floating tourism market.
