One of Bahrain’s leading five-star beach resorts – The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain – has embraced the kingdom’s bid to boost the number of yacht arrivals by launching a ‘luxury boat culture’ experience.
Seef is set for a touch of Monaco aimed at blending its maritime history with its potential status as the glamorous, celebrity-frequented destination in the Arabian Gulf, as highlighted at a special launch event last night.
Attendees included Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Dr Shaikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, Bahrain Chamber second vice-chairman Mohammed Abdul Jabbar Al Kooheji, International Hotels Bahrain director Yamil Santiago and The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain general manager Bernard de Villèle, alongside senior officials and media representatives.
The initiative has been made possible thanks to Edict (9) of 2025 offering a new fast, effective navigation permit service for visiting vessels to make sailing in Bahraini territorial waters safer and more accessible.
“This collaboration is an ode to the rich maritime heritage of the Kingdom of Bahrain and positions the hotel’s marina as a hub for nautical tourism, welcoming seafaring guests from the region,” said Mr de Villèle.
