Known as a hotel where the Kingdom’s major sports events have been hosted, such as the Khalid bin Hamad Swimming Challenge (when His Highness Shaikh Khalid Bin Hamad Al Khalifa participated in the charity event and swam for 35 hours from Saudi Arabia to Sofitel Bahrain to raise funds for cancer patients), to multiple Triathlons, it is no surprise that Sofitel Bahrain now has a dedicated institute for sports therapy and rehabilitation.

This comes in the form of Aquatic Physiotherapy, Aqua Gymnastics, sports sessions on the beach, seawater treatments, and seaweed wraps.
