Four Seasons Resort and Residences at The Pearl-Qatar

Character and identity

Set at the end of the main boulevard on The Pearl, Doha's man-made island development, this 2023-opened Four Seasons is an all-apartment resort 15 minutes from the city centre. The 245 residences start at 1,130 square feet with full kitchens, laundry and plush, muted interiors accented in blue, bronze and oak. Six restaurants span Spuntino's Italian, Chicago Rare's steaks, Duchess afternoon tea and the flagship La Méditerranée Robuchon, whose terrace looks out over the Arabian Gulf. Loulou Spa, a private beach, two outdoor pools and a 25-metre indoor lap pool round out a polished, residential register of service.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The defining proposition here is space: full apartments with kitchens and laundry, anchored by a serious restaurant line-up and a staff culture that genuinely arranges the extras, from dune-bashing to private tasting menus. Book it for a family week or a longer stay, take a bay-view residence, and treat the Pearl location as a retreat rather than a base for old-Doha sightseeing.
