Two new hotel and leisure destinations in Qatar

Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) announced the launch of two new hotel and leisure destinations in the country, opening in late 2020 and early 2021. The two new openings, Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas and Zulal Wellness Resort, will each bring something different to the broad range of amenities and experiences already available to domestic and international tourists.

The country is currently undergoing an extensive tourism development strategy, as it works to diversify and build upon its offering for visitors, ahead of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM.  

“Throughout this year and in the run up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 TM, we are expanding our tourism offering to ensure guests can enjoy the very best in Qatari hospitality,” said Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Secretary General of Qatar National Tourism Council and CEO of Qatar Airways.

“Extensive hotel and resort development is key to our strategy, and we are pleased to have two outstanding developments underway, including our partnership with Hilton Hotels and Resorts with the Salwa Beach project.”

A luxurious escape at the picturesque beachfront resort in Qatar

The seventh Hilton hotel opening in the region, the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas, is located 84 kilometers from the capital, Doha. Sprawling across 3.5km of picturesque private beaches, the resort features beautiful and spacious beach villas, each with private pools and gardens for a luxurious yet secluded getaway.

Enjoy a range of exclusive features and spectacular restaurants during your stay. The resort has over 20 food and beverage outlets serving cuisine to please every palate, from the locally inspired Souk Kitchen to the stylish Octa Restaurant. Dine in the underwater restaurant for an unforgettable dining experience.

Relax and indulge in treatments at the Eforea Spa. Set across two floors, the tranquil relaxation and wellness center is home to eight luxurious treatment rooms, and a fully equipped VIP room with a Rasul mud chamber.

Experience the spa services available, including a restorative Volcanic Stone Massage or a calming Honey Hammam, before unwinding in the steam room, sauna, tropical showers or ice chute.

If you are traveling with family, explore the Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park. The world-class water park’s site sprawls 57,000 square meters and features 28 slides and rides, including torrent rivers, surfing dunes and Whizzard mat racing. Those wanting to stay dry can get a thrill from go-karting and laser tag. 

A rejuvenating experience at the wellness resort in Qatar

Enjoying an exclusive coastal location in the northern tip of Qatar, Zulal Wellness Resort is a pioneering destination in the Middle East which blends traditional Arabic Islamic medicine with a holistic health and wellbeing philosophy.

The resort offers two distinct yet interconnecting experiences. Partially opening in late 2020 before its full opening in early 2021, the resort will offer treatments and facilities for sun-seeking families or couples looking to escape to the Arabian dunes.

Zulal Serenity offers an ideal place for adult guests seeking an immersive health and lifestyle reset, while Zulal Discovery invites families to connect and embark on a wellness journey together. We aim to inspire you with positive and sustainable lifestyle change.
