Durrat Al Bahrain is the largest artificial island in Bahrain after the Amwaj Islands. The US$6 billion project consist of a series of 15 large artificial islands, covering an area of over 20,000,000sqm . It comprises of six atolls, five fish-shaped islands and two crescent-shaped islands.
The plans for the finished islands include five-star hotels, a 18-hole golf course, 12 bridges, and a marina. The marina will span three of the islands and will cover a land area of approximately 700,000sqm with a cost of about US$1.3 billion.
The master plan creates a vision which is breathtaking in its elegance, simplicity and clarity. The vision is founded on five layered concepts derived from the local culture and environment.
The design caters for a variety of residential typologies in five character precincts allowing for a diverse community. Private gardens and public domains incorporate active and passive areas where innovative design elements provide relief from the sun and integrate ESD principles.
Every apartment has a unique point of difference through view maximisation, garden connectivity and residence configuration. The central location of the mosque, the inclusion of an iconic tower and a dramatic waterfront promenade make this area the envy of the Middle East.
