Sharq Village and Spa by Ritz Carlton - Doha, Qatar

Situated in a secluded beach cove along the Corniche in Doha, the Sharq Village and Spa celebrates a rich cultural legacy of Qatari history and has been meticulously recreated to reflect the architecture and experiences of a generations-old Qatari community. It is situated four miles from Doha Airport and five miles from the City Center Mall. Houses are surrounded by cooling pools and a thriving fish market down at the palm-fringed coastline. The idyllic village offers unique experience of a journey back in time as they meander through streets, past traditional craftsman at work, up to the former rulers palace. The Arabian Cafe sits opposite a sunlight drenched dining room with views of two over sized swimming pools and the turquoise blue waters of the sea. Spa treatments performed throughout 23 rooms reveal a world of sensory exploration through the healing treatments of Arabian custom and ancient reviving arts. Each of the 174 guest rooms and suites are located in 14 traditional Qatari courtyard houses, which provides an added sense of exclusivity from dedicated hosts, who attend to every need.
