A scale model of the kingdom's planned Salam Resort Bahrain has been unveiled to the public for the first time.
Sama Dubai, the international real estate investment and development arm of Dubai Holding, showcased the Phase-1 components of the $1 billion complex at Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2008.
Phase-1 of the project, located close to Bahrain International Circuit, will include a 288-room luxury beach hotel, seven waterfront hotel villas, a 20,000 sqm state-of-the-art conference centre and six royal villas on a private island. The Phase-2 will encompass a residential community and retail outlets set in traditional souq style.
Farhan Faraidooni, executive chairman of Sama Dubai, said: "As one of the largest of its kind in Bahrain, as well as the first luxury beach community on the untouched south western coast of the island, we are confident Salam Resort Bahrain will attract discerning investors seeking niche developments."
Mr Faraidooni recently presented a scale model of the Salam Resort Bahrain project to His Majesty King Hamad during a private meeting in Manama, as reported in GulfWeekly.
Phase-1 is expected to be completed in 2009.
