AMWAJ ISLANDS – Chairman’s message
Chairman’s message
The island experience,
your way
We set out with a vision, which has
become a reality. Creating an island
community that is connected, refreshing
and vibrant. A place by the sea in which
to live, work, do business, in which to
dine, enjoy sports, entertain… or just
harmonise with nature.
We created something special, an island surrounded
by tranquil azure waters, clear blue skies, fresh
breeze, and a community of people with different
cultures living in close harmony. An island flowing
with waterways and lagoons connected to the sea.
An island dotted with thousands of palm trees,
flowers and lush green lawns.
Amwaj Island’s six man made islands are unique and
represent a more balanced way of living in Bahrain;
simple living yet completely contemporary, a life
facing the sea, in touch with the stars, sand and
capturing sea breezes.
Today we can take pride that we have been the
pioneers in bringing waterside living into reality, and
that we have been able to provide a perfect balance
between community development waterside living
and individual beach villas/condominiums in
Bahrain, not far away from the bustling city.
While the vision still goes on, we take great pride in
what we have achieved so far, and for progressing
on track, being well on the way to completing our
vision which means that our residents can live their
island dreams at Amwaj Islands… today.
Welcome to Amwaj Islands.

A short history lesson
For thousands of years, Bahrain has been defined
by its relationship with water in one way or another.
Formerly known as Dilmun, the country was an
important trading centre that linked Sumeria with
the Indus Valley as early as 5,000 BC.
In ancient times, Bahrain was the only haven where
fresh water could be found on the long journey
between Mesopotamia and India. The presence of
fresh water through natural springs beneath the sea
is thought to account for the name Bahrain itself –
an Arabic word meaning “two seas,” which refers
to the ancient belief that there was another sea
beneath the sea bed.
