Bahrain offers a wide range of leisure activities that provides a lifestyle that is not only an attraction to expatriates, it is also the reason Bahrain retains its best and brightest: talented Bahrainis remain in the Kingdom, rather than moving overseas.

With 33 islands the country is a paradise for yachting, fishing and diving. We are famous for equestrian sports too. There are many gyms and sports clubs, and most team sports are also played here, including rugby, soccer, cricket and basketball.

Al Areen includes the Banyan Tree Desert Spa and Resort, the largest spa in the Middle East, and the state-of-the-art 'Lost Paradise of Dilmun' Water Park. Amwaj Islands is a series of man-made islands, including four main residential islands and a theme park island, a waterfront shopping mall, five star hotels, an amusement park, entertainment facilities and a marina. Durrat Al Bahrain will be the Kingdom’s largest luxury development, an island-based resort city of residential villas, gardens and beaches, Bahrain shops, restaurants, a marina and an 18-hole golf course.
