About this hotel
General information
Four Seasons Resort and Residences at The Pearl-Qatar is a beach resort on the Persian Gulf, set on The Pearl, the man-made island off Doha raised over an old pearl-diving ground. Instead of conventional rooms it offers 161 apartments with one, two or three bedrooms, each with its own kitchen, laundry and generous terrace, which makes it as suited to a short seaside break as to a long stay in the city.
Interiors are timeless with a touch of glamour: a calm, neutral palette, contemporary furniture mixed with traditional pieces, and bathrooms finished in stone, bronze and oak. At the foot of the building lie a private beach, two outdoor pools and gardens threaded with a seaside boardwalk and a sensory garden; inside are a 25-metre indoor pool facing the Gulf, Loulou Spa – named after the Arabic word for pearl – and several restaurants, among them the Chicago Rare steakhouse.
Location
The resort sits on Porto Arabia Drive in a quiet seaside corner of The Pearl, a short walk from a Mediterranean-style square lined with restaurants, boutiques, galleries and cinemas. West Bay is about 20 minutes away by car, Katara Cultural Village 10 minutes and Souq Waqif 35 minutes, while the island’s many marinas make it easy to cross the city by water. Hamad International Airport is 30 km away, roughly a 26-minute drive; the concierge arranges BMW or Mercedes transfers, limousines and car hire.
Spa
Loulou Spa has four treatment rooms, including a couples’ suite, each named after a different variety of pearl. The menu covers facials and body treatments, massages, express treatments, Bellabaci cupping, men’s rituals and pearl-inspired wellness rituals. Afterwards guests can move on to the saunas, steam rooms and whirlpool, rest in the relaxation lounge or swim in the heated 25-metre, two-lane indoor pool overlooking the Persian Gulf.
Sports & leisure
The 24-hour fitness centre has panoramic sea views, cardio and strength equipment and a studio for spinning and stretching classes; personal trainers and private yoga can be booked, and morning yoga classes are held on the lawn by the beach. The concierge arranges a private eight-hour tour of Doha, 4x4 dune bashing around Sealine by the Inland Sea with camel rides, buggies, quad bikes, sandboarding and falcon handling, and outings to Katara Cultural Village with its galleries and planetarium. Open-air movie nights take place on La Plage, the seaside lawn.
For children
The complimentary Kids For All Seasons club welcomes children aged 4–12 every day in a colourful space with a traditional Qatari fishing boat suspended overhead. It has an activity zone, computer and video game zones, a bookshelf, a wind-down corner, a snack pantry and an outdoor play area, and its mascot – a baby Arabian falcon – joins in the fun. Families also have an outdoor pool with a sloped entry, family cabanas on the beach and babysitting.

Swimming
The resort’s private beach on the Persian Gulf is set with loungers and with cabanas for couples and families, where servers bring drinks and bites, and a boardwalk runs along the shore.
