Where to Stay in Failaka Island – Wreck & History Hub

Failaka Island has very limited accommodation options with a small number of basic guesthouses and no luxury hotels. Most divers base themselves in Kuwait City and take day trips to the island by ferry or private boat. Kuwait City offers world class accommodation including the JW Marriott Four Seasons and numerous international hotel chains with prices ranging from one hundred to four hundred dollars per night for luxury properties. Budget options exist in the Salmiya area from fifty dollars per night. Dive operators typically arrange hotel pickup and transport to the boat departure point making city based accommodation the most practical choice for visiting divers.
