The multi-award-winning Ula, a Solutions Leisure Group
prepares to open its doors to its first international outpost in the Kingdom of Bahrain
Solutions Group, the region’s most awarded hospitality group and pioneers of the approachable dining, nightlife and entertainment sector, have, today, announced the launch of Ula Bahrain in partnership with Gulf Hotels Group, a leading hospitality management company with over 55 years of industry experience, is pleased to announce the launching of multi-award-winning beach club and restaurant.
Truly a step away from it all, Ula will bring its transformational, immersive Mediterranean-lead pool and beach club experience to the Novotel Al Dana Resort Bahrain (owned by GHG), on Manama, on Shaikh Hamad causeway, ideally situated centrally to attractions including Bahrain International Airport, Bahrain's Diplomatic area, major shopping centres and the Bahrain National Museum and Theatre.
Inspired by the energy of the earth, the warmth of the sun and the passion of the Arabian Gulf, the two-storey warm Mediterranean-meets-Tulum interiors are complimented by a seamless indoor-outdoor design, with sprawling outdoor area, alfresco dining, stunning turquoise beachfront infinity pool, fire pit, bungalows, pool and beach beds and terrace.
The ultimate escape, Ula, which has two current UAE outposts at Dukes the Palm Hotel, Palm Jumeriah, Dubai, and, most recently, the Movenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, embodies the deep breath out that comes with the ultimate holiday feel, ideal for that late morning brunch, poolside afternoon, sunset dinner or evening cocktail.
With a mission to create a dynamic space that is all-encompassing, it invites guests on a culinary and experiential journey to the ultimate state of relaxation and vibes, from day to night.
Gulf Hotels Group and Solutions Leisure Group will bring the concept to the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2024, ahead of further larger opportunities that will shake up the culinary scene through a multi-brand expansion, set to convey a new element of culinary excellence and entertainment to the local and international community. The Ula beach club and restaurant is expected to be opened in 2024.
Mr. Ahmed Janahi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Hotels Group, commented: "Ula is our first venture with SLG coming to fruition and we are thrilled to witness the transformative vibe this award-winning beach restaurant would bring to the shores of Novotel Al Dana Resort. Ula in Bahrain is aimed to create an unparalleled immersive social experience, extending over the resort’s beachfront embarking on a culinary and experiential journey for the ultimate state of relaxation and vibes, from day to night. Ula is an exciting addition to our collection of upscale dining venues throughout our hotels and this venture further solidifies our dedication to crafting exceptional experiences for our esteemed guests."
Paul Evans, CEO and Co-Founder of Solutions Leisure Group added, “When we first conceptualised Ula, it was entirely unique. We had a vision to create a complete step away from it all; from the hustle and bustle that Dubai has become, into a different state of mind.
“That’s what Ula is. A state of mind. It’s not trying to take you into a different part of the world or create anything new. It’s simply designed to flow with you and move between various elements of enjoyment. And we are beyond excited to bring that flow to Bahrain.”
“Working alongside the leaders that are Gulf Hotels, we’ve got some epic opportunities lined up. Ones that, I hope, will shake up the industry as a whole, blending lifestyle with culinary experiences to drive new-found social moments, together.”
