Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Limestone dunes and coastal trails surround the peninsula, placing guests minutes from Richard Serra's towering steel desert sculptures.
The rooms
Screen-free standalone villas feature private plunge pools and outdoor terraces, decorated with neutral earthy tones and handwoven Sadu textiles.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds and palms line the central infinity pool, which stretches along the dunes toward the Arabian Gulf.
The spa
Private treatment rooms open beside sheer curtains, offering botanical aromatherapy, a sauna, and a steam room.
Gym and yoga deck
Treadmills and bikes face the sea through floor-to-ceiling glass, and an outdoor deck hosts daily sunrise yoga.
Qissa Restaurant
The open-fire kitchen serves Middle Eastern dishes and fresh seafood across a covered terrace facing the gulf.
At the table
Wicker pod daybeds sit along the sand at the open-air beach bar, which hosts weekly Friday barbecues.
How it began
Built in 2024, the low-impact retreat sits inside Qatar's Al Reem Biosphere Reserve, designed with fabric canopies that cool buildings naturally.
