Bahrain's natural pearls are considered some of the finest in the world and this accolade inspired The Ritz-Carlton Bahrain Hotel & Spa to create a jewel of a holiday treat ... something with an exciting element of surprise for guests staying at the hotel's luxury villas.
It has been said that of all the pieces of jewellery in the world, a pearl necklace is the only thing that a woman should not be without. And that is no wonder; the pearl is the embodiment of classic sophistication and timeless elegance.
The most romantic dinner ever served in all the times was imagined by Cleopatra for Marco Antonio, saying that she could give the most expensive meal ever provided.
She had prepared a grandiose table with tumbling candied fruits and perfumed flowers.
As she served Marco Antonio vinegar in a golden goblet, Cleopatra removed one of her pearl earrings - said by Pliny to have been worth 10 million sesterces, the equivalent of thousands of pounds of gold - and dropped it into the liquid.
The pearl dissolved in the strong vinegar, and Cleopatra smiled, having served Marco Antonio a priceless soup.
To celebrate the fifth anniversary of The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Hotel & Spa, a Damas pearl will be randomly hidden under a guest's pillow.
Twenty-three luxurious villas created by a world-renowned architect, crested on the seashores, with magnificent views of Bahrain's seaside will be available for glamorous weekend breaks.
