the interiors have had a thorough renovation by Pierre-Yves Rochon, whose style is characteristically opulent while remaining very much within the bounds of good taste.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the northern coast in Manama's lively Seef district, the grounds sit moments from premier luxury shopping malls.
The rooms
Accommodations range from sleek sea-facing suites with rain showers and soaking tubs to private beachfront villas featuring individual infinity pools.
The pools and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Free-form lagoon pools stretch toward the private beach, and the gym lines treadmills against floor-to-ceiling glass.
The hammam and baths
Four graduated plunge pools sit beneath the domed hammam, and a seawater thalassotherapy pool rests under a classical rotunda.
The spa
Wood-paneled treatment suites host Valmont skin therapies and Dead Sea mineral wraps behind slatted timber blinds.
At the table
Cantina Kahlo serves Mexican dishes in bright, art-filled dining rooms, and the Burlington Club pours vintage cognacs beside leather armchairs.
