Not every holiday needs to be far flung - in fact, when travelling with kids it is sometimes easier (and far less stressful) to stay close to home! So after the craziness of Christmas, we took ourselves off for a long weekend vacation to the Four Seasons - Bahrain Bay. An escape whilst being in the heart of the city, the hotel oozes luxury from the moment you cross the bridge onto the private island, that was built exclusively for the resort. Complete with 273 guest rooms and suites, white sandy beach, a water park, a state of the art fitness center and spa, seven restaurants and five swimming pools, the eye-catching H-shaped building, designed by the same architects that created the Burj Khalifa, offers an exceptional getaway for families, couples, and solo travellers, whilst also catering for business travellers or those just looking for a decadent staycay away from their home in Bahrain.
The Four Seasons excellent hospitality also extends to its youngest guests, with pint-sized bathrobes, pop up tents in the bedrooms, personalised teddy bears and every baby item you could ever imagine. They also have an incredible kids club with a huge outdoor play area, which runs alongside a jam packed daily activity schedule and a small water park shaped like a Dhow ship with slides and interactive water features.
For older kids, there is The Beach Club - a space inspired by a California surf shack. A gamers’ haven, here you’ll find everything from old school arcade games, pin ball and pool to Italian ice cream, board games and more. A faultless city break stay, the Four Seasons Bahrain Bay has 5 star service, an excellent food offering and an incredible spa.
When it comes to kit for kids, the hotel has you covered! There are cots, toddler rollaway beds, bottle warmers, sterilisers, baby baths - you name it, they have it!
Nappies can be requested and the team are great are making sure kids bottles and kit are cleaned properly every day! The team also have mini bathrobes and slippers for the kids, plus colour books and pop up tents for all the rooms with kids.
Babysitting services at the Four Seasons Bahrain are available and arranged through their concierge team.
