Edamah, the real estate arm of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, and GFH Financial Group, has broken ground for the construction of the Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience at Bilaj Al Jazayer on the southwest coast of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience is the first surf park in the MENA region to incorporate cutting-edge Wavegarden Cove technology from Spain, a revolutionary wave-generating system that produces up to 1,000 waves per hour. The project includes a world-class wave pool and the Club Hawaii Experience Academy, which will provide comprehensive training programs for surfers of all levels.
The Bahrain Surf Park will feature F&B outlets, a spacious terrace, a retail store, cabanas, an event space, and a large private entertainment area for corporate or school groups.
The Wavegarden Cove lagoon can accommodate up to 90 surfers per hour, catering to all skill levels from beginners to elite surfers. The wave-making technology is the least energy-intensive of its kind, and the facilities will deliver a range of social and economic benefits to the local community.
