11 Anantara Doha Island Resort to launch in 2014
Minor Hotel Group has announced the opening of its first hotel in Qatar on an island resort off the Doha coast
The 141-room Anantara Doha Island Resort and Spa is set to open just off the coast of Doha in 2014.
The venture sees Minor Hotel Group partner with the Qatari owned company Al Rayyan Hospitality — the group behind Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels — for its first property in the country.

Located on a 13-hectare island, the new resort will be accessible by speedboat from Doha’s downtown area and from The Pearl.
The 141 rooms are split into 96 guest rooms, 34 pool villas and 11 two- and three-bedroom over-water pool villas, while restaurants include contemporary Japanese and an Arabic beach club.
An off-shore reef is also being developed and the resort will be home to a reef conservation centre, giving guests the opportunity to plant their own coral and learn more about the underwater environment via a fully equipped diving centre.
MHG currently has five properties in operation across the UAE with a further three due to open later this year. In addition, 2014 will see the opening of the group's first hotel in neighbouring Oman.
