Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company (Edamah) has agreed with GFH Financial Group to launch the the Middle East's first surf park adopting Wavegarden Cove technology.

According to Edamah, the leisure development is expected to attract 300,000 visitors per year, with upwards of 140,000 surf sessions annually.

The park will have food and beverage outlets, a terrace, a retail store, cabanas, an event space and a large private entertainment area for corporate and school groups.

CEO of Mumtalakat and Chairman of Edamah, Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, said: "We are excited to announce the development of Bahrain Surf Park – Club Hawaii Experience, which will be transformational for the tourism and recreation sectors."
