Tivoli Bilaj Al Jazayer Bahrain Resort



Tivoli Hotels & Resorts is a collection of luxury hotels and resorts set in idyllic beaches and cosmopolitan locations, from iconic destinations in Europe to the Middle East, and from Brazil to Asia. We are timeless, dedicated, and distinctive — evoking a time when hotel stays were grand experiences and travel meant life slowed down for a while.

Founded in 1933, Tivoli’s long-standing heritage is built on extraordinary service, authentic local experiences, and a genuine dedication to the art of hospitality. If you share a passion for making every guest feel they have arrived somewhere truly special, Tivoli is where your story belongs.

Tivoli Bilaj Al Jazayer Bahrain Resort and Avani Bilaj Al Jazayer Bahrain Resort are looking for passionate, dynamic, and service-driven individuals to join our growing teams. Set along Bahrain’s stunning west coast, our resorts offer an inspiring work environment where luxury hospitality meets warm Arabian hospitality.
