In a groundbreaking move set to transform leisure tourism in the Middle East, Bahrain is preparing to open the region’s first-ever surf park: Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience. Slated to launch in early 2026, this state-of-the-art destination will introduce a new wave of recreational opportunities and bolster Bahrain’s position as a key tourist hotspot.
A Technological Marvel: Wavegarden Cove Innovation
The Bahrain Surf Park will leverage cutting-edge Wavegarden Cove technology from Spain, known for producing consistent, high-quality waves with the industry’s lowest energy consumption. This advanced system can generate up to 1,000 waves per hour while accommodating up to 90 surfers simultaneously. The innovation ensures that everyone—from beginners to seasoned pros—will find a wave suited to their skill level.
This efficient technology enables Bahrain Surf Park to provide over 140,000 surf sessions annually, making it an unmatched destination for surf enthusiasts.
A Hub for Surf Education: Club Hawaii Surf Academy
At the heart of Bahrain Surf Park lies the Club Hawaii Surf Academy, a world-class institution dedicated to fostering surfing talent. Whether you’re a first-timer or a competitive surfer, the academy will offer:
- Beginner lessons for those new to the sport.
- Skill enhancement programs for intermediate surfers.
- Advanced training for professionals.
Expert instructors will guide participants through tailored training modules, ensuring that everyone develops confidence and competence on the waves.
More Than Just Surfing: Entertainment, Dining, and Retail
Beyond the exhilarating surf sessions, Bahrain Surf Park will offer a comprehensive range of attractions, including:
- F&B Outlets: Enjoy a diverse culinary experience featuring local and international cuisine.
- Retail Stores: Browse surf gear, apparel, and exclusive merchandise.
- Terrace and Cabanas: Relax and unwind in beautifully designed spaces.
- Event Space and Private Entertainment Area: Perfect for hosting corporate events, private parties, and celebrations.
These amenities promise a complete lifestyle experience, making Bahrain Surf Park a must-visit destination for families, friends, and solo travellers alike.
A Future Venue for International Surf Competitions
Plans are already in place to host a major international surfing competition in 2026, putting Bahrain on the global surfing map. With world-class facilities and reliable wave conditions, the park will attract top talent from around the globe, further enhancing the country’s reputation as a premier leisure destination.
A Cornerstone of the Bilaj Al Jazayer Megaproject
Bahrain Surf Park is a central component of the expansive Bilaj Al Jazayer megaproject, a mixed-use development spanning 1.3 million square meters along Bahrain’s scenic southwest coast. Recognized as Bahrain’s Best Leisure Development by the Arabian Property Awards, Bilaj Al Jazayer is poised to draw over 300,000 local and international visitors annually.
The park’s strategic location on Bahrain’s sunset coast ensures breathtaking views and easy access to other key attractions within the development.
Collaborative Development: A Partnership for Excellence
This ambitious project is being developed through a partnership between Edamah (Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company) and GFH Financial Group. Their combined expertise and investment underscore a commitment to delivering a world-class destination that will elevate Bahrain’s leisure landscape.
Leadership Perspectives: Bringing Surfing to the Middle East
Victoria Williams, Bahrain Surf Park General Manager, 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 great about surfing, so don’t worry if you’ve never picked up a surfboard before!”
Fernando Odriozola, Wavegarden’s Chief Commercial Director, 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.”
