Banana Island

Banana Island is a small Qatari island. Its land is crescent-shaped and located off the shore of Doha, Qatar's capital city. It is a naturally occurring island in the Persian Gulf. Anantara's Banana Island Resort Doha was established there. The island is 13 hectares in size and has its own marina as well as reefs.

Those looking for some beach time can board a luxury catamaran at the Museum of Islamic Art and sail to Banana Island. Tourists here are recommended to enjoy an alcohol-free lifestyle with the kids while surfing, diving, golfing, bowling, or going to the movies. With a variety of motorized water activities, race over the lagoon waters. Relax in the Middle East's only wellness center, set in a magnificent botanical garden on an island resort. Expect to spend the day lazing by the pools, kayaking, banana boat rides, waterslides, and a variety of other water sports and family-friendly activities. Day permits to the island, operated by the Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, cost around 350 riyals and include boat transfer, pool and beach access, plus credit to spend at the resort restaurants and recreational activities.
