A five-hectare man-made island rises from the waters off Manama, linked to the capital by causeway, and at its centre a 68-storey twin-tower complex designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill punctuates the Gulf skyline. Four Seasons occupies floors 11 through 28, offering 273 rooms and 57 suites since opening in 2015, every one with unobstructed views of the Arabian Gulf or the Manama cityscape. Pierre-Yves Rochon drew on the golden age of 1930s ocean voyages for interiors in beige, green and gold that echo the island's lush landscaping, accented by a curated collection of works by Bahraini artists. The island's southern shore curves into a white-sand private beach, and The Dhow, a waterpark shaped after a traditional Bahraini sailing vessel — adds seven slides and more than 70 water features, making this one of the Gulf's most family-friendly Four Seasons addresses. Bahrain International Airport is about 15 minutes away.
Wolfgang Puck runs two restaurants here. CUT, his signature steakhouse designed by Waldo Fernandez, pairs prime American beef with Manama skyline views. re/ASIAN CUISINE occupies the 50th floor with a sushi bar and Japanese omakase alongside modern pan-Asian dishes. Beachfront Byblos serves Lebanese cuisine with sand underfoot, while Bahrain Bay Kitchen handles buffet breakfast and Friday brunch. Blue Moon Lounge and CUT Lounge fill evenings with cocktails. The Spa spans more than 3,500 square metres across four pavilions linked by garden pathways, housing 17 treatment rooms, an indoor pool, Moroccan hammam, Ayurvedic rituals and Biologique Recherche facials, with dedicated women-only facilities. The infinity pool stretches nearly 1,000 square metres; Azure Pool offers an adults-only alternative. Bahrain Fort, a UNESCO site, and the old Bab Al Bahrain souk are a short drive away, this island Four Seasons keeps the city in your pocket while spreading the sea at your feet.
