    I was expecting better...

    The island isn’t terrible. It appears to be a nice place to get away and barbecue or enjoy the water. The staff appears friendly and you can order an array of snacks and cool beverages. However, the beach itself is rather rocky/full of pebbles and...More

    A day on the beach

    The service is below average, staff are not the best just ok and people visiting as well. Many swimming with their clothes on.

    Great day with family!

    Went on week day. Not very busy, great for some family time with kids. Clean facilities but needs some renovations. Had taken picnic lunch and hired a tent for BD10/-

    Perfect for a day of Barbecues

    Great boat ride to the island where you can rent a cabana with a group of friends and have a cook out and a good time. Remember to bring passport or some sort of ID to get on the boat.

    Good place to spend with family

    A good place to spend the whole day. Clean beach and good food. Island restaurant and coffee shop opens at 9.00am and closes at 11.00pm. If you plan to stay overnight it's better to carry snacks and coffee. Chalets are spacious and clean.

    Simple & relaxing

    Was great to have the boat trip to the island and public space with the burger restaurant and friendly staff. I think it needs more investment to make this spot ranked higher as island and facility.

    Good for one time visit

    I was expecting a better beach and more clean island. Food prices were damn so high. The atmosphere of the island was very well and calm.

    Great trip

    Such a lovely time. Gorgeous water, uncrowded. Everything clean and tidy. Decent bar, ice cream, food. Super safe boats. One of the nicest things we did in Bahrain.

    Unfortunately, Al Dar can only be accessed by sea. But the good thing is that the trip is only 7 mins. and the sea is not rough between sitra and al dar. The other option will be to use a Jetsky but that would be a bit... More

    You can contact the reservation desk on +973 1770 4600. The entrance charge to the island is BD3 per person. But the charges for the huts are BD15.
