About this hotel
General information
The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island has a small island of its own in the Porto Arabia district of The Pearl, joined to the shore by a bridge. Every one of its 193 keys is a suite or townhouse, each with a generous balcony looking over the Gulf or the yacht marina. Art along the bridge draws on Qatari culture and Andalusia, and the interiors pair contemporary polish with the ease of a private residence.
The island works as a resort in miniature: a kitchen in every suite, outdoor pools, a kids’ club and the Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie suit short breaks and longer stays alike. Round-the-clock St. Regis butler service, afternoon tea and the house tradition of the Midnight Supper set the tone. For events there is a ballroom, with 700 m² of function space in all and room for up to 300 guests in the largest setting; weddings and private celebrations are arranged on site.
Location
The hotel sits at the heart of Porto Arabia on The Pearl, among marinas, waterfront promenades, cafés and boutiques. Qanat Quartier’s canals, Katara Cultural Village and Lusail Marina are close by. Hamad International Airport is about 22.5 km away, roughly 25 minutes by car; there is no shuttle, but the hotel arranges a private car with chauffeur. On-site parking and valet parking are complimentary for guests.
Spa
The Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie applies the Swiss clinic’s approach to longevity: in-depth diagnostics, personalised programmes and restorative therapies. Treatments include massages (couples’ massages among them), facials, body scrubs, Ayurvedic rituals and scalp, hair and lip care, alongside fitness classes and fitness counselling. Facilities include a steam room and separate lounges for men and women; the hub is open to hotel and outside guests, with all services charged.
Sports & leisure
The 24-hour fitness centre looks out over the marina and is equipped with cardio machines, free weights, strength equipment, rowing machines and a functional training zone, plus locker rooms. Padel courts (for a fee) and table tennis are on site, cabanas can be booked by the pools, and the marina has boat slips.
For children
The Kids Club is a bright space for play, creativity and learning, and the Family Traditions programme adds activities for children. The family pool has a children’s area and a lifeguard on duty. Multi-bedroom suites and townhouses with kitchens suit families well, and cots can be added.

The island’s restaurants range from Lebanese to Greek cooking, and in-suite dining is available.
