The design for Raffles City Bahrain is inspired by the traditional spirit and evolving lifestyle of Bahrain. The development has been conceived as a series of curves, inspired by the intrinsic geometry and spectacular views. It draws energy from Bahrain Bay, as it ripples out from the core to form the magnificent Raffles City Bahrain.

Raffles City Bahrain is an integrated development that spans 288,000 square metres of high-end residential, serviced residences and retail space. Three curving high-rise towers form the culminating gesture of the wave-like design, housing a variety of luxury apartments and two-storey penthouse units with dual-aspect views of both the Arabian Gulf and the city.

Below the three towers are located the development's most exclusive residences, forty seven spacious Sky Villas that each features a private swimming pool, landscaped terrace, courtyard, elevator, drive-up access to a parking garage, and luxuriously appointed finishes.
