Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain Resort by DSA Architects International

The Jumeirah Gulf of Bahrain Resort was originally conceived by the Client, a Joint Venture between Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company (BMHC) and Sama Dubai Investment LLC, to boost Bahrain’s tourism market.

Construction on this hotel resort project commenced in early 2007. The Project scheme was originally set to utilise traditional Bahraini architecture and traditional houses in the GCC in general.

Construction on the Project was ceased in January 2009 after having completed the foundations on the mainland along with parts of the main building, conference facility, beach villas. The project was reinitiated under Edamah and Sama Dubai Investment LLC and the construction was then resumed in March 2018 until present.

DSA and MSCEB have been re-engaged by the Client in the same capacity to develop, along with the Client, Operator and Cost Consultant, a revised design which takes cognisance of the as-built condition of the Project and the Client’s desire to establish the Project as world-class resort.

The client’s vision is to build a 5-star retreat style destination, a first of its kind in Bahrain. DSA & MSCEB utilized and enhanced the existing structure to offer a new product to the country.
