Lido Jersey (First Point Property Services) has agreed a lease for the Havre des Pas bathing pool and its facilities.
The group will be taking responsibility for the popular site, its management and the maintenance from 1 April 2026.
It will be running the Lido and its facilities until 2035.
Director of Lido Jersey, Marcus Troy, says, this marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Lido.
"We look forward to sharing our community-focused vision and plans for the site in the coming weeks."
A transition from the previous café and kiosk tenants, The Lido, and Jersey Property Holding, which oversaw the public facilities, to Lido Jersey has been completed.
This includes assets, licenses and branding.
Marcus Calvani, from The Lido (Havre des Pas) Limited, says over the past decade, the Lido has evolved into a recognised island brand, hosting major public celebrations, large-scale events, weddings and gatherings, while fostering a strong sense of pride within the local community.
"We are immensely proud of the foundations that have been laid and are encouraged that others recognise and will take forward the strength and value that’s been created.
"We sincerely wish Lido Jersey every success in their future endeavours and look forward to seeing how this important St Helier landmark develops in the years ahead."
It follows a lengthy tender process, where it was announced that First Point was the initial preferred bidder in October, before the process had to be repeated.

However, the Love Our Lido Group pulled out of the running due to the grant not meeting its expectations.
It was offered £60,000 per year, rather than the preferred £170,000 of the community group, totalling around £1.8 million over nine years.
The government's intended spend is £540,000.
