Bahrain-based investment and asset management Investrade has acquired a 53% stake in the Areen Park Hotel and The Land of Paradise Waterpark, for an undisclosed amount.

The properties are located within the Areen Master Development Project, a mixed-use development in southern Bahrain, as per a press release posted on Zawya.

The Areen Park Hotel and The Land of Paradise Waterpark include a luxury hotel owned by Al Areen Hospitality, alongside a collection of villas and apartments.

Spanning two million square metres, the mixed-use project aims to establish a new city, featuring 16 major clusters that encompass commercial offices, retail units, restaurants, hotels, health and education facilities, as well as various residential communities.

The move is set to bolster the hospitality and leisure offerings in the region, with the project poised to host about 25,000 residents and a plethora of amenities.

The project’s strategic location near key landmarks such as the King Fahd Causeway and Bahrain International Circuit is expected to enhance its appeal to both tourists and residents.
