It’s the last weekend of August, and Bahrain isn’t slowing down before the month closes out. Whether you’re after one final waterpark trip with the girls, a Thursday evening that starts with a welcome drink and ends well past dinner, or a Saturday spent elbow-deep in watercolours, there’s plenty on the calendar to make the most of it.
Foodies have their pick of a street food buffet at Olivo’s and an Indian brunch at Rasoi, while families can dodge the heat altogether at Marassi’s underwater zoo. And if you’re still out once the sun’s gone down, Scoop Creamery’s after-hours lounge has music and mocktails waiting.
Here’s where to be this weekend.
A full afternoon of privacy, rides, and pool time to close out August properly. Janat Dilmun opens its ladies-only day with a buy one, get one free offer, plenty of reason to gather the girls for one last waterpark trip before the month wraps up.
A relaxed Thursday start to the evening, with a complimentary welcome drink and chef’s signature bites included. From there, La Terrace offers a rosé wine and cocktail list from BHD 6, with 50% off a second drink to keep the evening going.
A weekly buffet spread built around the bold, casual flavours of Asian street food. Olivos lays out a generous line-up of dishes to graze through at your own pace, from steaming noodles to skewers and small plates, the kind of buffet that rewards going back for seconds and thirds. Bring a big appetite.
Experience the essence of India through bold spices, beloved street food, and traditional curries, all prepared with authentic flavours.
Bad Art Club is back with Episode 02, a watercolour evening built around one medium, one prompt, and absolutely no pressure to get it right. Expect painting, experimenting, and easy conversation over a drink of choice, with materials provided and sketchbooks welcome for anyone who wants to bring their own.
An underwater world tucked into the mall, turning an ordinary day out into a proper family adventure. Marassi Aquarium & Underwater Zoo makes for an easy, air-conditioned outing whatever the weather’s doing outside, with plenty to see for kids and grown-ups alike.
Music, mocktails, and snacks once the sun goes down. Scoop Creamery’s after-hours menu blends savoury and sweet in a curated, cosy mix, inspired by some of the café’s favourite ingredients and flavours.
