Throughout most of the year, parties are organised on the island and barbecues on the beach, in enchanting tropical surroundings.

Bahrain is a cosmopolitan island with a wonderful Arabian heritage. It has been a centre of trade for thousands of years and is now a thriving banking centre and a gateway to the eastern provinces of Saudi Arabia. Sightseeing trips to mosques, palaces, museums, the house of Quran, burial mounds, souks and forts can all be arranged by the Concierge, who can also book fishing and traditional boat trips.

The best shopping malls on the island are just across the road from the hotel, and the Grand Mosque, the Gold Souk and Riffa Fort are all only a few minutes away. Nearby, there is also an 18-hole golf course of an international standard.
