Bahrain has announced the launch of Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience, the first surf park in the MENA region to use state-of-the-art ‘Wavegarden Cove’ technology from Spain.
Set to open in early 2026, Bahrain Surf Park will be located on the southwest side of the island, on Bahrain’s sunset coast.
Bahrain Surf Park acknowledges Hawaii as the birthplace of surfing and intends to showcase its spirit throughout the facilities and attractions. Using the cutting-edge ‘Wavegarden Cove’ technology – with the lowest energy consumption on the market – the surf park will accommodate up to 90 surfers and produce 1,000 waves per hour.
Bahrain Surf Park will offer over 140,000 surf sessions annually at the Club Hawaii Surf Academy, where instructors will train, mentor and develop surfers through training programmes for all: catering to surfers of all levels, from beginners to professionals.
Bahrain Surf Park will also feature a range of F&B outlets, retail stores, terrace and cabanas plus an event space and private entertainment area. Plans are also underway to host a major international surfing competition in 2026.
This project is a groundbreaking leisure destination developed in partnership between Edamah (Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company) and GFH Financial Group. The development will be a key attraction within the Bilaj Al Jazayer megaproject, which has already been recognised as Bahrain’s Best Leisure Development by the Arabian Property Awards.
The Bilaj Al Jazayer masterplan spans 1.3 million square metres along Bahrain’s southwest coast. Bahrain Surf Park will be a major feature within this mixed-use destination, which is expected to draw approximately 300,000 local and international visitors each year.
Bahrain Surf Park General Manager, Victoria Williams, 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 that’s great about surfing, so don’t worry if you’ve never picked up a surfboard before!”
Wavegarden’s Chief Commercial Director, Fernando Odriozola, 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.”
The Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience is set to be a groundbreaking location for surfers and visitors which will showcase Bahrain as an emerging surfing destination – a welcome addition to the variety of limitless experiences the archipelago has to offer.
