Arabian-inspired opulence reaches enchanting new heights at Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain. Debuted in December 2023, the luxury resort combines striking white villas, shimmering pools and verdant greenery into a mesmerizing oasis smartly tucked away from the bustle of the outside world.
Situated amid a captivating desert landscape, the luxury resort offers a combination of contemporary elegance and traditional allure. Bubbling fountains serenade from marble-clad courtyards and lush tropical gardens provide shade while you lounge on rattan chairs and plush settees.
A handful of dining venues awaits to delight your palate, while an expansive spa promises a rejuvenating escape, all complemented by lush surroundings that provide a picturesque backdrop for relaxation. For discerning travelers seeking a blend of culture and indulgence, Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain is a haven of sophistication and serenity on the island of a million palm trees.
- Wondering how Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain’s garden stays so rich amid the desert heat? A staff botanist provides the grounds with round-the-clock care while also offering hotel guests exclusive workshops in areas ranging from organic gardening and date picking to healing with herbs.
- The Bahrain hotel sits roughly 40 minutes from Manama in the quaint coastal town of Zallaq. In addition to serene surroundings, the hotel’s slightly removed address puts you within arm’s reach of local highlights like Al Areen Wildlife Park, Royal Golf Club, Bahrain International F1 Circuit and the Lost Paradise of Dilmun Waterpark.
- With its cocoon-like interiors, Raffles Spa provides a tranquil respite from the desert sun. Indulgent massages and enriching facials are highlights as are locally inspired bath rituals, including a soak featuring milk and rose or a milky chocolate option best enjoyed in the comfort of a couple’s suite.
- Each of the luxury resort’s 78 villas feels like a private royal retreat thanks to private pools, butler service and a sprawling floor plan that’s at least 4,300-square-foot.
- While the resort’s surroundings certainly evoke palace vibes, it’s the attention to detail that sets Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain apart from the crowd. Arabic coffee and dates are an enticing check-in treat while a welcome drink presented at your private pool helps you settle into your luxurious home away from home.
- Mediterranean-themed Palma is the signature dining room at Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain. Double-height ceilings and towering windows provide a breezy feel while turquoise glass fixtures and well-placed greenery bring a touch of Mediterranean sunshine to the space.
- Breakfast on Palma’s spacious terrace is a must, especially when paired with a glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. Come dinnertime, treat your taste buds to a unique cultural experience with an olive oil tasting enjoyed with freshly baked Arabic breads.
- Blending the best of Bahrain with Raffles's French heritage is Ycone Paris, a chic patisserie serving up sugary works of art. Stop in for seasonal treats paired with Arabian coffee or for a classic afternoon tea service.
- Be sure to indulge in some in-villa dining during your stay. Have a full breakfast spread brought to your front door or enjoy dinner and a show as a multicourse feast is prepared at your own private chef’s table.
- For a little social interaction, head to the energetic Raffles Pool to savor a passionfruit mojito while you lounge under the desert sun. Poolside Friday brunch and beach-inspired barbecues evenings provide a lively alfresco alternative to dining indoors.
