Coastal Comfort
by: BTM - Fri, 08 May 2026
Set along the shoreline in Muharraq, Novotel Bahrain Al Dana Resort offers a relaxed staycation shaped by open space, direct beach access and a clear focus on comfort.
In Bahrain, a staycation offers a straightforward way to step away from routine, without long journeys or extensive planning. Positioned on the water yet minutes from the city, Novotel Bahrain Al Dana Resort delivers exactly that. Spread along the coast, the resort opens towards the sea with uninterrupted views across the water. A sense of openness is immediately palpable.
Rooms follow a classic style with an emphasis on size and comfort. The staycation package offers a choice between standard and deluxe rooms, with the latter including a private balcony. It is a modest upgrade, but one that changes how the room is used, particularly in the evening. The additional weekend cost remains accessible, making it a worthwhile option for a longer stay.
The main pool sits at the centre of the resort. It is large and well maintained, designed to accommodate both families and individual swimmers without feeling crowded.
A short walk leads to the private beach. Sun loungers line the shore and the water remains easily accessible for a swim at any point in the day. The beach bar nearby offers drinks and light bites, allowing guests to stay by the water for longer without needing to return indoors.
For those not planning to stay overnight, the day-use option offers a practical alternative. At BD10, it includes access to the pool and beach along with a drink and a choice between a pizza or burger.
At Zytoun, the all-day dining restaurant, lunch is shaped around its outdoor grilling station. Orders are placed through the waitstaff and prepared fresh, with options such as lamb chops, kofta and kebabs served directly to the table. Breakfast remains more traditional, with the omelette station continuing to draw attention.
In the evening, Fishbone provides a relaxed sit-down setting. The menu focuses on familiar dishes, with mocktails such as strawberry and passion fruit mojitos offering a refreshing start. The Rock The Dates salad provides a lighter option while the Spaghetti Con Ragu Di Manzo Brasato delivers something more substantial. The grilled Branzino Al Limone is a consistent choice for those looking for a lighter main.
At La Perle, seafood takes centre stage. The menu keeps preparation simple, allowing grilled and fried dishes to suit the waterfront setting. It is a natural choice for an unhurried meal by the sea.
Beyond dining and leisure, the resort addresses practical details with care. A well-equipped gym supports those maintaining their routine, while the children’s play area provides a supervised space for younger guests.
Overall, Novotel Bahrain Al Dana Resort delivers a change of pace that is easy to step into and easy to enjoy. Make your reservations now.
