Bahrain Marina evokes cherished memories for many Bahrainis. From the 1970s to the 1990s, it was home to the iconic Marina Club, a beloved gathering spot for families, dignitaries, and sea enthusiasts, capturing the nation’s cosmopolitan spirit and love for the water. Now, that cherished legacy is being beautifully reimagined for a new generation. Bahrain Marina aims to honor those golden years while updating the space into a modern sanctuary of elegance, innovation, and leisure.
Bahrain Marina boasts a truly enviable location. Nestled in the heart of Manama, it is just a short drive from Bahrain International Airport and easily accessible via the King Fahd Causeway. With breath-taking views of the Gulf, it connects seamlessly to the capital’s financial center, cultural hotspots, and vibrant retail districts. This unique combination of centrality and peaceful setting makes Bahrain Marina stand out, a perfect urban retreat for both residents and visitors alike.

Designed to attract families from the Gulf, international travelers, and investors looking for a unique experience, Bahrain Marina features luxury living spaces, a comprehensive marina, upscale dining venues, a bustling retail district, hotels, and leisure activities. It’s set to be a driving force in boosting high-end tourism, aligning perfectly with Bahrain’s Tourism Strategy for 2022-2026 and beyond.
