The best facial in Doha has to be the HydraFacial at the Four Seasons in West Bay. The Four Seasons is renowned for luxury, and the HydraFacial is known for its deep-cleansing and hydrating benefits. Booking a session there ensures you'll receive top-notch service in a lovely setting. It's the perfect choice for anyone who wants to treat themselves. Equally, a full body massage at the Waldorf Astoria locations in Lusail and West Bay are amazing for some much-needed relaxation.
Two standout wellness destinations in Doha are the Guerlain Spa at The St. Regis Doha and Zulal Wellness Resort. The Guerlain Spa offers French-inspired treatments, while Zulal Wellness Resort offers holistic wellness in a serene desert setting. Whether you prefer urban elegance or natural serenity, both promise exceptional rejuvenation and relaxation.
If a hair treatment is what you’re looking for, I highly recommend the Aldo Coppola hair treatment at their Al Hazm branch. It truly rejuvenates and nourishes your hair, leaving it feeling and looking irresistibly healthy. Aldo Coppola is renowned for its innovative haircare methods, premium products and techniques. The Al Hazm location is also luxurious and inviting, which only enhances the overall experience. For colour and extensions, I love Glowish by Ihab at St. Regis, The Pearl. Ihab and his team provide exceptional service and can guarantee beautiful results.
My nail dreams come to life at Aldo Coppola. It’s my go-to spot for nails. Not only do the team understand my exact preferences but there’s an incredible array of colours to choose from too. The expertise and attention to detail is exceptional as well.

For beauty shopping, Gold Apple is as an absolute gem. From the inviting sofas that make you feel right at home to the expertly chosen selection of beauty products, it’s more than just a store – it's an escape into the world of luxury fragrance, skincare and cosmetics.
For make-up, Sephora is a convenient choice, with multiple branches across the city. The Sephora store at Place Vendome is particularly impressive and offers a wide selection of products from popular brands. It's a great place to explore make-up trends, get advice, and find your favourite essentials, all in a welcoming and familiar environment.
My favourite department store is Galeries Lafayette at Katara, 21 High Street. It showcases a diverse range of local and international brands, making it a one-stop shop for fashion fans. What I love most is the convenience of being able to pick up a coffee from Café Pouchkine and enjoy it while browsing.
Three dining spots in Doha that stand out to me are Gaia at W Beach, LPM at Al Maha Island, and Nozomi at Kempinski The Pearl. I don’t have a specific preference, but I enjoy these restaurants because they offer diverse and culturally rich flavours. And each of them has a really unique setting too.
