Planning to tie the knot and in search of a romantic destination for a honeymoon? While you may have tropical islands on your mind, don't disregard enchanting Qatar; here you will not only find all the beach side bliss you crave but the finest comforts, spa pampering and exciting adventures galore!
After the hustle and bustle of the wedding, there's nothing like treating yourselves to a luxury stay with plush comforts; you both deserve it don't you! Such luxury accommodation in Doha can be found for couples and what is more, you can even look forward to island escapes. The chance to stay by the beach is a definite plus for a honeymoon and is made more memorable if you choose a room or suite by the shore; you can look forward to seaside serenades and taking walks on the beach anytime you choose amidst views of the Arabian Gulf.
Of course, couples looking to get in true holistic healing can also treat themselves to some sublime spa treatments which can be shared together. Certain 5 star hotels in Doha have onsite spas, so you can enjoy rejuvenating wellness at the property itself. You can also find resort spas in Qatar that feature private couples' suites in order to enjoy the therapies together. Be it a traditional Turkish hammam, a variety of massages, body and facial therapies or even private yoga, there is much to experience.
When it comes to romantic things to do in Qatar on your honeymoon, having an intimate beach dinner is definitely one of the top options. Offered at properties such as Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara, such dining experiences come complete with the chance to customise a gourmet menu with a personal chef. For something different, couples can sign up for cooking classes at certain resorts which will provide fun and hands-on lessons that can be made use of once you begin your lives together!
If you and your partner are looking for some outdoor thrills, Qatar has got you covered as well. You can plan a desert excursion and enjoy activities such as dune bashing where you will be taken on a breathtaking ride on the dunes on a 4WD vehicle. As part of the adventure, you may also get the chance to head off on came rides, take pictures with falcons and for something truly memorable, have dinner in a Bedouin-style tent.
Couples looking for some cultural discoveries can visit key museums in Qatar which can be found in the capital, Doha. This includes the uniquely designed National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) and the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) with its impressive collection of exhibits. Of course, you can also enjoy some shopping fun here too. One of the most popular attractions in Doha, the Souq Waqif offers one a chance to explore a traditional-style market. For more modern shopping experiences there are retail hubs like the Villaggio Mall which also features a quintessential activity for honeymooners; the chance to take a gondola ride amidst a canal setting similar to what you will find in Venice!
