Marina West, Al Budayyi, Bahrain

I am very, very bullish on the future of Bahrain! I put Bahrain right up there with Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The Mega Projects being developed in Bahrain are beyond first class and the architecture is like something from 200 years in the future. Bahrain has many fabulous Mega Projects being built and today we will cover one of the newest, Marina West.

Marina West is Bahrain's first beachfront community relying on no land reclamation. It is located on Bahrain's West Coast in Al Budayyi, and is being developed by AAJ Holdings and will be managed by Asteco Property Management. Marina Bay will be an entirely gated mixed use residential-retail-leisure community that consists of 11 High Rise Towers.

Marina West will offer 1280 luxury residences including: 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom apartments; duplexes; simplexes and penthouse suites- all located in the 11 magnificent towers:

'The towers are elegantly appointed with attractive balcony facades, impressive common areas and a host of luxury fittings. The common areas around them will feature boulevards, podiums, and fountains to make living in Marina West a true pleasure. Both the towers and their related parking facilities – 2000 spaces for property holders and a further 250 for visitors – will be equipped with state of the art security systems and services, ensuring that only tenants and their guests will be able to access the residential towers,' according to the developer.

Marina West is designed to be a total living environment that will offer residents and guests:

- A high end marina that will be the focal point of the development,

- A wide variety of leisure and entertainment facilities,

- Restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques and retail shops of all kinds,

- Ultra modern health club and spa, swimming pools, tennis courts, indoor games,

- A private beach, ponds, fountains, landscaped roof decks,

- On-site supermarket, medical center, pharmacy, mosques, children's play area & day care center,

- Business center.

An exclusive world-class hotel is also planned for Marina West. From the developer:

'An exquisite luxury hotel will be one of the focal attractions of Marina West, for residents and visitors alike. It is currently being developed by a truly world class operator. This company has an acknowledged, worldwide reputation for creating hotels and resorts that harmonise beautifully with the surrounding environment and culture, offer the very highest standards of quality and – above all – provide unparalleled customer service and attention to detail. Facilities in and around the hotel will include several gourmet restaurants that feature a variety of global cuisines, and an ultra-luxurious spa. The hotel will also enjoy its own access directly onto the beach.'

Marina West is a truly outstanding Mega Project. Even though it will not be complete until December 2009, already 10% of Marina West residences have been sold in the first month of being offered. I can see why. Marina West will be a great place to live in Bahrain and a great contribution to the rapid growth of this spectacular Arabian Kingdom!
