Al Dar Island, Private resort island near Sitra, Bahrain.
Al Dar consists of two connected islands with north and south sections offering roughly 400 meters of sandy shoreline along the Persian Gulf. The resort includes private lodging units and recreational facilities spread across both areas.
The resort grew from an uninhabited natural landform into a modern leisure destination within the Persian Gulf archipelago. It was previously known as Folk Islands before its transformation into a resort.
The island features traditional Arabic architectural styles in its buildings and public spaces. Local design traditions shape how the facilities look and feel throughout the grounds.
Visitors reach the island by boat from Sitra fisherman's port, with a journey of about ten minutes. Regular departures run throughout the day during operating hours.
The northern section holds five exclusive chalets offering direct beach access from private units. The southern area provides beach huts and activity spaces for a different kind of visit.
