The project will deliver a new level of luxury waterfront living in the heart of Manama’s exclusive Bahrain Harbour, strategically positioned in downtown Bahrain within a key financial and lifestyle hub and close to other prominent leisure, business, and transportation centres in the Kingdom GFH said.

Kempinski Harbour Heights will offer unmatched panoramic views of Bahrain Harbour, Marina, and adjacent Bahrain Bay. The project will include Sky Villas, marking the first Kempinski-branded villas with direct sea views, and 260 luxury apartments and hotel rooms.

The villas and residences will be developed to the highest design standards, featuring premium lifestyle offerings such as Bahrain’s highest swimming pool with 360-degree views, a sprawling rooftop garden with children’s play areas, indoor sports facilities, an outdoor gym, tennis courts, and a basketball court.

Residents will also benefit from international fine dining options, a cigar lounge, meeting facilities, and exclusive access to the Kempinski hotel’s extensive range of world-class services and amenities, the company said in a disclosure with Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) this morning.

Sales are scheduled to launch before the end of 2024, with the hotel slated for completion by the end of 2025 and the residences in the first half of 2026.
