Manama is a wealthy city that enjoys a luxurious lifestyle and so it’s no surprise that it is bursting with lavish high-end hotel resorts represented by the world’s most exclusive hotel brands. However, it is balanced with mid-range and budget options too, allowing it to welcome every kind of traveller. From flashy city suites to luxe beach houses, there are many different ways to experience your stay in the capital.
Manama’s first-time visitors may prefer to stay in Manama Center because of its prime location and concentration of attractions and modern amenities. As well as boasting landmarks like the Bahrain World Trade Center and the Bab AlBahrain souq, it boasts an unbeatable selection of malls, restaurants, bars, and more. Between its culture, entertainment, nightlife, and shopping, it’s the best all-round location in Manama.
Located a couple of miles south of the business centre, Juffair is a better option for budget travellers. Combining Bahraini history with the modern side of Manama, it gives you an excellent all-round feel for the region. Less touristic than Manama’s waterfront neighbourhoods, it is quieter as well as cheaper.
The Amwaj Islands, one of several manmade islands on the northern tip of Bahrain, is the perfect beach getaway destination. Its seclusion and exclusivity as a beach resort make it feel like a remote paradise island, yet it is less than a half-hour drive to the city centre.
Whilst the Seef District is located on mainland Manama, it is centred around its beach resorts, offering the best of both city and beach life. Home to some of the city’s top hotel resorts, restaurants, and the Seef Mall, it is best suited to visitors that want to splash out.
