Number one: Sharq Village

Sharq Village

Owned by the Ritz-Calton Hotel Company, the Sharq Village does not disappoint.

Whilst many super-modern hotels and apartments opt for contemporaryarchitecture and sleek interiors, Doha’s Sharq Village & Spa dates its décor back to Arabian design traditions.

This 5* spa is one of the largest in the Doha region and with over 6500sqm of floor space, it is surprisingly easy to lose yourself (and the people you attend the spa with).  With over 20 treatment rooms to choose from, your toughest decision should be which massage to have first!

Combine that with heated stone beds, silky mud baths and a double-helping offreshwater pools, it’s no wonder the Sharq Village entices the likes of the rich and famous every year.

However, the spa doesn’t accept all credit or debit cards so make sure you use Travelex’s currency converter to turn your Euros, Pounds and Dollars into Qatari Riyal before you go.

Number two: Kempinski Residences & Suites

Kempinski Residences & Suites

Step away from traditional Arabic architecture and enter the crisp, glossy world of the Kempinski Residences & Suites.

‘Simple’ is the primary theme throughout this magnificent hotel; grand ceilings, strategically placed candles, spacious loungers and serene pools look out onto the city below and separate you from the stresses of the world.

An ideal haven for fitness bods, the Kempinskialso boasts an impressive leisure and wellness gym housing state-of-the-art fitness suites and aerobics machines to work every muscle in your body… if you wish.

If not, immerse yourself in the choice of steam rooms, saunas, and hydrotherapy baths or chill-out with a Spa Oceana Multi-sensory Spa treatment for ultimate relaxation.

Number Three: W Doha Hotel & Residences

W Doha Hotel & Residences

The most impressive feature in the W Doha Hotel has to be the illuminated fibre-optic swimming pool which changes colour as you swim!

Back indoors, the stylish combination of contemporary luxury with Arabic details sweeps the resort which has been decorated with Middle East Spa Awards since 2010 including ‘Best Spa Design’.

Interior decorations aside, the spa has adopted the Bliss range of products which were founded in New York in the mid-nineties. The friendly and professional staff will use these to perform a whole manner of facials and massages to relieve stress from head to toe.

Plus, the spa offers a series of deluxe treatments designed especially for men so while the ladies are enjoying their Skinny Day package, the men can get scrubbed-up as well!
