152 December 2016 www.bahrainthismonth.com Bahrain’s spectacular destination resort wants to rejoice in festive merriment with you. Juxtaposed with the crystal clear, turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf and the calm green of the Al Fateh cornice, the Coral Bay Resort is a sparkling gem of a place to simply unwind, de-stress and be yourself. Its location and energy-infused ambiance gives it an exciting vibe, like being away on an exotic holiday far from the trials of daily life. To commemorate the much-loved occasion of Christmas, the resort has laid out plans for adults and children alike to have a ball of a time, while making the most of the pleasant climes at this time of year. No expense has been spared to jazz up the celebrations here; right from delicious gourmet creations, live melodies of traditional songs and carols played all day long by a house band, to special holiday activities such as face painting, a jumping castle and a surprise visit from Santa Clause who will be coming in from the sea on his festive boat to hand out presents. A special Christmas holiday lunch buffet can be enjoyed by families and friends at the resort’s famous Rayes restaurant. Known all over Bahrain for its lip-smacking delicacies and appetising spreads, this fine-dining Lebanese eatery is often a must-visit for tourists as well. As you take in the sophisticated decor, the sounds of the gentle waves and views of the marina with the Muharraq skyline rising up in the distance; it will be an experience to cherish forever. Those who have been on the island for long enough will remember La Taverna Sul Mare for bringing the robust flavours of Italy to Bahrain. The iconic restaurant, which now sits pretty on the premises of Coral Bay Resort, will not only bring on the nostalgia for old-timers but also impress patrons with its delicious gourmet food and beverages. The diner also has a kids’ minibuffet as a special treat for little ones. Coral Bay Resort is home to the Gulf’s first five-star floating boutique hotel; the C Hotel, where guests have all the amenities of a firstclass beach resort at their disposal, while enjoying the feeling of being on a cruise ship without even leaving the country’s shores. Coral Spa is another place where you can rest and rejuvenate with some precious ‘me-time’. There are a number of therapeutic massages and beauty treatments to choose from, making you feel ready to bid the current year goodbye and welcome the new one with open arms. For some fun in the sun, the resort also hosts several water sports activities on its private beach. With exceptional service and an aweinspiring setting, spending Christmas at the Coral Bay Resort is going to be memorable for one and all. Call 17 312-700.
