Bahrain’s Edamah to build two new hotels and beach club at Bilaj Al Jazayer
The project is expected to transform the southwest region of Bahrain into a major tourist hub
Edamah plans to develop two four-star boutique hotels and a beach club at Bahrain’s beachfront development, Bilaj Al Jazayer. It said that Mohammed Salahuddin Consulting Engineering Bureau (MSCEB) has been appointed lead consultant for the design and supervision of the Bilaj Al Jazayer Hotels and Beach Club project.
The firm is the real estate arm of Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, Mumtalakat Holding Company and said that the project is expected to turn the southwest region of Bahrain into a major tourist hub. In its statement, it noted that the new properties will be the first hospitality offerings in the area and will be managed by a renowned international operator.
Bilaj Al Jazayer is spread over 1.5m sqm with the initial phases of the master-planned community to include the upgraded beach and a beachfront boulevard with hospitality, retail and restaurant offerings. The renovation of the first part of the 3km long beach is now complete, with design works in progress for the second stage, Edamah explained.
“Bilaj Al Jazayer is one of the most exciting projects in our portfolio, which will transform Bahrain’s much-loved beach into a world-class waterfront destination and tourist attraction. Along with the launch of our new corporate brand, which reinforces our commitment to build for Bahrain through inspired projects, we are pleased to unveil plans for two new beachfront hotels and a beach club for day visitors,” said Edamah CEO Amin Alarrayed.
He added, “With the nearby Bahrain International Circuit and other attractions, the area offers significant tourism potential, and this development will set the stage for future investment in holiday residences and commercial, retail, and entertainment facilities adjacent to the property.”
Commenting on the contract win, MSCEB MD architect Thamer Salahuddin noted, “We are excited to partner with Edamah on this landmark project which will serve the Bahraini people and the economy by creating new diversified lifestyle offerings. Our extensive local expertise will inform the creative process to ensure that the development meets the expectations of local, regional, and international tourists. We also congratulate Edamah on the successful launch of their new corporate brand.”
