Description

FORMULA 1 Grand Prix Bahrain 2026 – Stay in the luxury 5 star Gulf Hotel in Manama*

* Price is based on 2 persons sharing a room. The surcharge for single occupancy will be applied to all uneven parties.

You’ll be staying at the legendary Gulf Hotel Bahrain, one of the island’s most renowned 5-star hotels. Start your day with a refreshing dip in the elegant pool before getting ready for the excitement at the circuit. In the evening, choose from ten outstanding restaurants within the hotel, offering cuisines from Italy, Thailand, China, Mexico, and more. Just a five-minute walk away is Block 338, the vibrant entertainment hub of Manama, with cozy cafés, atmospheric eateries, and the free-to-enter Beyon Money FORMULA 1 Village. Here, you can experience the thrill of FORMULA 1 beyond the track, with impressive exhibitions, race simulators, live performances, and entertainment for all ages.

To make your race weekend even more convenient, we offer exclusive circuit transfers for Race Experience guests only. You’ll be taken directly from the hotel to the Bahrain International Circuit and back. No hassle with taxis, queues, or traffic jams. Our experienced English-speaking travel staff will also be on-site throughout the weekend to answer your questions and provide advice and practical tips.

The Bahrain Grand Prix offers several unique advantages, making it a very attractive destination. First, it’s one of the most affordable Grand Prix weekends on the calendar, giving you a premium experience without the high price tag of other races. Additionally, the event takes place in mid-April, when the weather in many other countries is often still cold and rainy, while Bahrain enjoys sunny skies and temperatures around 30°C (86°F). Perfect conditions to enjoy a full weekend of racing action. It’s also a relatively uncrowded event, with around 35,000 fans per day compared to up to 160,000 at most other races. That means a more relaxed atmosphere, shorter lines, less traffic, and a far better experience of the venue’s facilities.

There’s also plenty to discover beyond the circuit, from pearl diving and the striking Qal’at al-Bahrain Fort to the colorful Manama Souk, the National Museum, and the Al-Fateh Mosque. Want to see it all in one go? Book a guided day tour that takes you to all the island’s highlights.

Enhance your experience by easily adding Bahrain F1-tickets, VIP experiences or Paddock Club™ tickets to your booking, guaranteeing a one-of-a-kind Race Experience!

We do not offer circuit transfers on Friday. In recent years, we’ve seen that many guests prefer to use Friday to explore Bahrain. If you still wish to visit the circuit on Friday, you can:

– Take a taxi or Uber. Fares are generally affordable.
– Use the complimentary circuit shuttle service, provided by the event organizers.

If you’d like more information or help arranging your Friday visit, feel free to contact us. We’re happy to assist.

Private Airport Transfers

Add a private airport transfer to your experience. You will be picked up at the airport and you will be returned to the airport at the end of your trip.

FORMULA 1® tickets

Discovering the perfect spot at the Bahrain International Circuit is a breeze, with just five ticket options to choose from. Take advantage of affordable prices, especially with our early booking discounts. All grandstands are covered, although this becomes less crucial as the majority of on-track action in Bahrain unfolds at night, offering a cooler atmosphere. The Formula 1 Grand Prix on Sunday takes place in the evening.

Similar to most circuits, tickets for the Main Grandstand, opposite the pit boxes, are the premium choice in Sakhir. These seats provide excellent views of pit activities, pre-race preparations, the start, and finish, yet may not capture as many overtaking manoeuvres or other on-track excitement.

For those seeking maximum action, the Turn 1 Grandstand is ideal, as most overtaking manoeuvres occur at Turn 1. From here, enjoy a clear view of the cars navigating turns 1, 2, and 3 towards turn 4, with the pit exit merging right before your eyes.

The Oasis (Batelco) Complex offers the second most expensive tickets, and we deem it the top choice for Bahrain GP tickets. Revel in a fantastic view of turns 7-10. With unobstructed sightlines, Oasis is a prime location for amateur F1 photographers.

Opt for the more budget-friendly University Complex beyond the Turn 1 grandstand if you crave action in the first turns. You’ll appreciate a view of the front of the cars instead of the rear. Comprising three grandstands, University is undoubtedly the best pick for fans on a limited budget, with the top of University 2 as the preferred seating location.

The Victory Complex serves as another excellent budget option, featuring two grandstands (each with its own large TV screen) on the last few turns of the circuit. Victory 1 is perfect for turns 11-12, while Victory 2 provides a view of the final turn. Choose your spot wisely for an unforgettable Bahrain GP experience!
