Our Story
An elegant desert oasis
Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain opened in December 2023 as Bahrain's first and only all-villa property. A private sanctuary set on the 'island of a million palm trees', this captivating resort offers both escape from the fast-paced modern world and connection with an unexplored part of the Middle East. Cocooned by lush tropical gardens, the villas are both spacious and intimate, designed with subtle Arabesque detailing and enhanced by private pools and all the convenience of modern technology.
