The vast swimming pool, surrounded by loungers and lawns, is dwarfed by the private beach, which is slightly more than a mile long.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the West Bay Lagoon waterfront, the grounds sit moments from Katara Cultural Village and the boutiques of The Pearl.
The rooms
Decorated in understated muted tones, sea-facing accommodations look out across the Arabian Gulf, while Executive Suites add deep-soaking tubs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the outdoor free-form pool beneath towering palms, and indoors sits an illuminated blue relaxation pool.
The spa
Under crystal chandeliers, treatment suites host therapies on heated quartz beds and quantum harmonic sound therapy loungers.
The gym
Floor-to-ceiling windows line the 24-hour gym, equipped with Technogym machines and dedicated space for suspension training.
At the table
Dining spans Peruvian cebiches at beachfront La Mar, Belgian brews on the terrace, and private tables set on the sand.
The discreet lobby doesn’t really give an indication of what lies within. Boasting the longest private beach and a free-form swimming pool, the property also houses 375 spacious rooms and suites.
