One of Qatar’s most impressive neighborhoods is The Pearl Qatar, which is not only a favorite of those who frequent for all the social and entertainment options it offers, but for those who are looking to live in the lap of luxury. Here’s what you need to know about the man made island.
Located just east of West Bay Lagoon in Doha, this new development will add over 32 kilometers of extra coastline and just under 19,000 homes for about 45,000 residents. The area is split into a number of residential neighborhoods, including Porto Arabia, Qanat Quartier and Viva Bahriya. The newly added Medina Centrale is known for being a social hub, offering a number of restaurants and cafes, supermarkets, and children’s entertainment as well; it also offers a number of properties for rent. There are a number of outlets spewed across the Island as well, including Porto Arabia and Qanat Quartier. The Pearl management also organizes games and activities for the youngsters, which is one of the reason that families can be seen across the island, mostly on weekend.
While the high rise towers of Porto Arabia are considered to be the most popular housing option, the colorful Qanat Qartier will take you all the way to Venice! With properties nestled around water canals and channels, the area is truly an Italian sight to be seen. Townhouses and apartments are both available, with most enjoying a stunning sea view. Properties for rent in The Pearl come in all shapes and sizes, and almost all buildings will offer amenities such as a pool and gym- a standard across the island. Villas at La Plage are available for rent and sale, but for a price tag starting at QAR 75,000 a month for a four bedroom villa.
The Pearl is also popular for those who are looking to invest in real estate in Qatar, as 100% foreign property ownership is permitted in The Pearl. Many residents who are looking for investment opportunities take advantage of this, and purchase apartments and villas.
Also located on the island is the fabulous Kempinski Marsa Malaz hotel, which has added a ton of restaurants and night life spots to the area, as well as attracting a younger crowd.
The Pearl Qatar is undoubtedly a man made masterpiece, and one that offers unparalleled residential living across its districts and towering apartment buildings as well as an active and budding social life!
