The Pearl Qatar Welcomes the St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island

Foodies, we have big news: The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island on The Pearl-Qatar has just opened.

193 suites, including ones with one, two, and three bedrooms, can be found in the much-awaited hotel. However, 10 (yes, 1-0) new pubs and restaurants take up most of its space.

These include the Turkish restaurant Nar, the Greek taverna Manos, and the shisha bar Ahwet Zeitouna.

Other intriguing choices include the Italian Roberto's and the Lebanese Babel, both of which have won recognition at our sister publication Time Out Dubai's restaurant awards over the years.

The location that we'll be heading straight for? The Nikkei restaurant Chotto Matte, which was founded in London and has since extended to Toronto and Miami, will shortly debut in Riyadh.

The gym, which organizes yoga classes and other fitness programs, as well as the Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie, an aesthetics spa that offers individualized nutrition and exercise plans, are other reasons to go.

You can swim in the hotel's swimming pools, which include one exclusively for children, or unwind in the Jacuzzi if you're staying there.

Do you like the beach? You can board a complimentary water taxi that will take you in only ten minutes to the St. Regis Doha's beautiful beaches.

It appears like our plans for our upcoming staycation are set.

Open right now. Porto Arabia, The Pearl-Qatar, The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, and Marriott.com (4020 4444).
