The Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay beach is a private hotel beach on Road 4613 in Bahrain Bay, Manama, about 2 km north of Bab Al Bahrain. It is set on the reclaimed Bahrain Bay waterfront, a short distance from the public beach in the Diplomatic Area, and faces the shallow, warm Arabian Gulf. As with most urban Gulf shorelines, the water ranges from green to turquoise and has moderate clarity, while the bay's shelter keeps surf minimal, so conditions suit calm swimming and lounging more than wave sports. The beach is a managed, private frontage, and the atmosphere is quiet, upscale and resort-style, with Manama's skyline visible across the water. Access is mainly for hotel guests and members. The annual spa membership is listed from BHD 1,700 (about $4,522) per person. A 2019 listing gave a weekday day-entry price of BHD 25 (about $67), but that figure is dated, so visitors should ask the hotel whether day passes currently exist before planning a visit. Hours follow the hotel's guest schedule and should be confirmed at fourseasons.com/bahrain. Facilities include the private beach, pools and a spa, along with the hotel's restaurants, so a full day can be spent on the property without leaving. No lifeguard hours are listed in the available information. The Delma Marine water-taxi jetty sits beside the hotel, offering a scenic arrival by sea from the Avenues jetty. Taxis and ride-hailing apps drop at 'Four Seasons Bahrain Bay', with a metered fare from central Manama of roughly BHD 2-3 (estimated). The hotel can also be reached through the Bahrain Bay line at +973 17 50 5555. Parking is normally available at the hotel. The most comfortable season is October to April, and in summer the early morning and evening are the only pleasant windows. Visitors seeking a free option nearby can use the adjacent public beach at Bahrain Bay instead.
