Bahrain is set to make waves in the Middle East with the upcoming Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience, the first surf park in the MENA region to feature Spain’s advanced ‘Wavegarden Cove’ technology. Scheduled to open in early 2026, the surf park will be located on Bahrain’s scenic southwest coast, offering a unique blend of innovation and island culture.
Drawing inspiration from Hawaii, the birthplace of surfing, Bahrain Surf Park aims to bring the essence of surfing to the region. The park’s cutting-edge technology promises an impressive capacity of up to 90 surfers at a time and the ability to produce 1,000 waves per hour. This ensures a consistent and enjoyable surfing experience, regardless of the natural weather conditions.
The park will offer over 140,000 surf sessions annually through its Club Hawaii Surf Academy. This inclusive space will provide training for all levels, from novices stepping onto a surfboard for the first time to seasoned professionals honing their skills. Instructors will be on hand to guide surfers through tailored programmes, making the sport accessible to everyone.
Beyond the waves, Bahrain Surf Park will feature a variety of amenities including food and beverage outlets, retail stores, terraces, cabanas, and event spaces. Plans are in place to host an international surfing competition in 2026, putting Bahrain on the global surfing map.
This ambitious project is part of the larger Bilaj Al Jazayer development, a 1.3 million square metre mixed-use destination on Bahrain’s southwest coast. Developed by Edamah (Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company) and GFH Financial Group, the surf park is poised to become a key attraction within this leisure and tourism hub, which is expected to draw around 300,000 visitors annually.
Victoria Williams, General Manager of Bahrain Surf Park, expressed her excitement about the project: “This surf park will be a destination for everyone, whether you’re an experienced surfer or someone curious about the sport. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where all can enjoy the thrill of surfing.”
Fernando Odriozola, Chief Commercial Director of Wavegarden, added, “With waves for all skill levels, Bahrain Surf Park will be a magnet for local surfers, tourists, and those from across the region.”
As Bahrain Surf Park prepares to open its doors, it promises to add a dynamic new dimension to the leisure offerings in Bahrain, positioning the island as a burgeoning hub for surfing enthusiasts.
