In the heart of the Arabian Gulf, just minutes from Doha’s vibrant city center, two visionary islands are reshaping Qatar’s tourism landscape: The Pearl and Gewan Islands.
These destinations go far beyond luxury—they are immersive environments where architectural artistry, technological innovation, and sustainable living converge.
Together, they reflect Qatar’s strategic vision to position itself as a global hub for high-end tourism, lifestyle, and culture.
The Pearl Island: Coastal Glamour Meets Smart Living
A beacon of refined living, The Pearl Island offers a complete lifestyle experience rooted in elegance and variety.
From the Riviera-style promenades of Porto Arabia to the modern, lively squares of Medina Centrale, and the romantic canals of Qanat Quartier, every district is designed to transport visitors to a distinct cultural ambiance.
Cafés, designer boutiques, and gourmet restaurants line its bustling waterfronts, where luxury yachts glide through marinas that exude sophistication.
Dining on The Pearl Island offers a cosmopolitan mix of upscale global cuisines, from French brasseries and Italian trattorias to Middle Eastern lounges and Asian fusion spots, with options for al fresco marina views or cozy indoor settings.
Entertainment is just as diverse, featuring modern cinemas, family arcades, waterfront lounges, live music, and seasonal outdoor concerts, providing something for families, couples, and solo travelers alike to relax and enjoy the island’s vibrant lifestyle.
The Island’s urban planning isn’t just about beauty—it’s about intelligence.
The Pearl Island is one of Qatar’s pioneering smart destinations, offering visitors app-based access to events, services, and reservations, enhancing convenience at every turn.
Year-round, the island buzzes with life through signature events such as open-air circus performances, Eid markets, and global culinary festivals, turning every visit into a multisensory journey.
Gewan Island: Innovation and Imagination Come Alive
Adjacent to The Pearl Island, the emerging Gewan Island is Qatar’s boldest step into the future of experiential tourism.
A showcase of cutting-edge urban design, Gewan is powered by smart infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and IoT technologies that optimize everything from energy usage to guest experiences.
At the heart of the island lies its architectural centerpiece: the Crystal Walkway—the world’s longest air-conditioned commercial promenade.
Spanning 11,000 square meters and lined with 101 high-end retail and dining outlets, this interactive corridor immerses visitors in five uniquely themed zones—Desert, Ice, Forest, Sea, and Machines.
Thousands of crystal components light up dynamically with movement and sound, earning the island a Guinness World Record and elevating the standard of immersive design in public spaces.
The soon-to-open Corinthia Gewan Hotel will further elevate the island’s status.
Inspired by European palaces, it will offer 110 luxurious rooms and suites, a ballroom for up to 1,000 guests, a spa, private beach club, and even a modern golf course—ensuring the hotel becomes a landmark of hospitality excellence in the region.
