Cebarco lands Bilaj Al Jazayer hotel project contracts
MANAMA, April 29, 2024
Edamah, the real estate arm of Mumtalakat, Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, has appointed Cebarco as the main contractor for the Tivoli and Avani Hotels and Residences project coming up at its key development Bilaj Al Jazayer.
Located on Bahrain’s south-west coast, Bilaj Al Jazayer encompasses 1.3 million sq m of land with a three-km beachfront. The new mixed-use development will feature a range of facilities including resorts, residential villas and apartments in addition to food and beverage outlets, offices, and retail and entertainment offerings.
Both the properties - the four-star Avani Hotel and five-star Tivoli Hotel - will be managed by Minor Hotels, a globally acclaimed operator in the resorts and hotels industry with a portfolio of 527 hotels and resorts in 54 countries across the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, South America, Africa, and the Indian Ocean.
According to Edamah, the Avani and Tivoli, with a total of 200 keys, mark Minor Hotels’ foray into the Bahraini market aimed at supporting the growth of the kingdom’s tourism and hospitality sectors.
The hotels will be accompanied by three branded fully serviced residences, offering a total of 150 apartments and setting a new standard of luxury living in the region.
This milestone will be marked by a signing ceremony followed by a groundbreaking event to commemorate the start of this landmark development, stated the Bahraini developer.
