Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara

Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara occupies a private crescent-shaped island just off Doha, reached by a roughly 25-to-30-minute catamaran from the city’s Al Shyoukh terminal. The resort combines sea-view rooms and suites with beach pool villas and over-water pool villas, creating an accommodation mix that ranges from comfortable family stays to more secluded island retreats. An 800-metre shoreline frames the property, while the facilities lean decisively toward leisure: lagoon and surf pools, motorised water sports, padel, an adventure park, bowling, a cinema and a children’s park. Dining venues cover several international styles, and Anantara Spa adds a quieter counterpoint with wellness treatments in a garden setting. The alcohol-free atmosphere and broad activities programme make the resort particularly suited to families and multi-generational stays, while the island location keeps the mood separate from central Doha without being remote.
