GFH, a regional financial group with key interests in asset management and real estate, and Infracorp have signed an  agreement with global hospitality group Kempinski to launch Kempinski Harbour Heights hotel and exclusive branded residences in Bahrain.

Announcing this on sidelines of Gateway Gulf Forum 2024 last month, GFH said with this project, it aims to deliver the next level of luxury, waterfront living in the heart of Manama’s exclusive Bahrain Harbour, which is strategically positioned in downtown Bahrain within a key financial and lifestyle hub as well as in close proximity to other prominent leisure, business, and transportation centers in the kingdom.

Kempinski Harbour Heights will offer panoramic views of the Bahrain Harbour and Marina and the adjacent Bahrain Bay. The project will boast Sky Villas, marking the first Kempinski-branded villas with direct sea views, and 260 luxury apartments and hotel rooms, stated the developer.

The villas and residences will be developed to the most exacting design specifications and will benefit from premium lifestyle offerings including the highest swimming pool in Bahrain with 360-degree views, a sprawling rooftop garden with kids play areas, indoor sports facilities, as well as an outdoor gym, tennis courts, and basketball court. 

On the new venture, Barbara Muckermann, the CEO of Kempinski, said: “We are excited to develop Kempinski Harbour Heights as a landmark that epitomises luxury and sophistication in
Bahrain.

“Each residence will be crafted with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring an environment that combines elegance with modern amenities for a truly elevated experience,” stated Muckermann.

Harbour Heights is a groundbreaking development in Bahrain, encompassing residential, medical, retail, hospitality, and leisure facilities across 35,900 sq m at the core of Bahrain Harbour.

According to her, the Kempinski units will be up for sale by the year-end, with the hotel due for completion at the end of 2025 and the residences in the first half of 2026.
