The setting
Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl, Doha occupies its own palatial islet within Costa Malaz Bay, a private sub-island of The Pearl — Qatar's landmark 400-hectare artificial development — making it one of Doha's only hotel addresses entirely encircled by Arabian Gulf waters. Ornate domed architecture and a private beach define an arrival experience more palace than hotel, while The Pearl's marinas and dining promenades are a short drive away. Katara Cultural Village is twenty-six minutes by car and the Doha Corniche thirty-three. In a city of waterfront properties, Costa Malaz remains the singular address where island seclusion is absolute. 15 km from Souq Waqif.
