Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa has unveiled a new collection of overwater villas, adding a unique offering to Bahrain’s hospitality landscape.

Designed to provide an exclusive retreat with panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, these four villas – Emerald, Ruby, Pearl, and Topaz—blend privacy, comfort, and contemporary design with influences from both Parisian and Bahraini aesthetics.

Each villa spans 360 sqm and features a master suite, two additional bedrooms, a living area, a dining space with a kitchenette, and a private deck with an infinity pool. Accommodating up to nine guests, the villas cater to travellers seeking a secluded getaway while maintaining access to the hotel’s amenities.

Positioned over water, the villas offer a setting that is rare in the region. With dedicated access to the Arabian Gulf, guests can experience uninterrupted sea views and private outdoor spaces.

Mehdi Hanayan, Cluster General Manager of Sofitel Bahrain Zallaq Thalassa Sea & Spa, commented on the launch: “The introduction of these overwater villas reflects Sofitel Bahrain’s commitment to offering distinctive experiences in the region. This new addition allows us to provide an elevated level of privacy and comfort while integrating elements of local and French-inspired design.”

While the villas offer a secluded environment, guests can utilise the hotel’s full range of services, including dining venues, private beaches, and Thalassa Sea & Spa. The property’s blend of wellness, gastronomy, and leisure amenities aims to provide a comprehensive hospitality experience.
