The marina was constructed as part of a multi-billion dollar land reclamation project to create the Amwaj Islands.
It is one of the few locations in Bahrain that offers private berths integrated directly with luxury waterfront residential real estate.
The basin is specifically engineered to maintain stable water levels despite the tidal changes common in the Persian Gulf.
The site hosts regular weekend outdoor markets featuring local Bahraini artisans and food vendors.
Its design incorporates a focus on 'nautical lifestyle' living, mimicking the infrastructure found in premium Mediterranean ports.
Amwaj Marina is a purpose-built waterfront destination located on the man-made Amwaj Islands in Muharraq. It serves as a primary hub for luxury yacht mooring and maritime activities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The marina basin provides controlled, calm waters protected by breakwaters, making it suitable for docking diverse vessel sizes. It features a paved promenade that stretches alongside the berths, connecting dining venues to the waterfront. The facility hosts the annual Bahrain Boat Show, which showcases international marine brands and luxury yachts. As part of the Amwaj Islands development, it sits adjacent to residential towers and hotel complexes. The site functions as both a nautical service center and a recreational walking destination for residents and tourists.
