Planned Bahrain Surf Park on target for 2026 launch

January 8, 2025

Set to be the first surf park in the MENA region to utilise Spain’s advanced ‘Wavegarden Cove’ technology, the developers of the Bahrain Surf Park have advised that the new attraction is on target for an early 2026 opening.

Situated on Bahrain’s sunset coast in the island’s southwest, the new attraction will also debut is Club Hawaii Experience, aiming to infuse the culture and vibes of the birthplace of surfing into its attractions and facilities.

Leveraging the innovative ‘Wavegarden Cove’ technology, known for its minimal energy consumption, the park will host up to 90 surfers simultaneously and generate 1,000 waves per hour.

The surf park will offer over 140,000 surf sessions annually through the Club Hawaii Surf Academy. This academy will provide comprehensive training programs for all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, with expert instructors guiding and mentoring surfers.

In addition to surfing, Bahrain Surf Park will feature a variety of amenities, including dining outlets, retail stores, terraces, cabanas, an event space, and a private entertainment area. Plans are already in motion to host a significant international surfing competition in 2026, further solidifying its status as a premier destination.

Forming centrepiece of the larger Bilaj Al Jazayer megaproject, this transformative leisure development is a collaboration between Edamah (Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company) and GFH Financial Group

Bahrain Surf Park General Manager, Victoria Williams, explained “I am extremely proud to be involved in bringing the first Wavegarden ‘Cove’ powered surf park in the Middle East to Bahrain.

“Bahrain Surf Park - Club Hawaii Experience will be so much more than ‘just’ a surf destination. Creating ‘Waves for All’, it will be the place for all ages and all backgrounds to enjoy everything that’s great about surfing, so don’t worry if you’ve never picked up a surfboard before!”

Wavegarden’s Chief Commercial Director, Fernando Odriozola, added “with consistent waves of different shapes and sizes, Bahrain Surf Park is going to be an amazing destination for people from the entire area, travelling surfers and tourists alike.”
