Taj Doha

Qatar Sports Investment Company, which is developing Qatar’s first five-star golf and spa hotel in Doha announced a substantial addition to the project this weekend. Located in Al Khaleej Street, the project consists of four residential buildings and one commercial building and will comprise 225 apartments of 2 and 3 bedrooms, approximately 30,000 square meters of office space and 6,650 square meters of retail space, adjacent to the Taj Exotica Golf and Spa resort, currently under construction.

Based at the Doha Golf Club, the only PGA standard 18-hole golf course in Qatar, the Taj Exotica Golf and Spa Resort will occupy a site at Doha Golf Club.

The Taj Exotica Golf and Spa resort will be the first Golf Resort and Spa of its kind in Doha, offering a unique mix of access to Doha’s world-class golf course and a Jiva Grande Club and Spa. The proposed design comprises a luxury, low-rise five-star boutique hotel complete with a host of world-class facilities, including 150 rooms and suites, restaurants and a bar, and meeting and conferencing facilities. It is the latest in a line of hotels managed by the Taj Group, whose other notable hotels include the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower in Mumbai, India, Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, Dubai.

The golf course at the Doha Golf Club encompasses an area of 370 acres and includes a renowned PGA-standard, 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole floodlight academy course. The Qatar Masters, which is now co-sanctioned by the European PGA tour and the Asia PGA tour, has been a regular feature on the Doha Golf Club calendar since 1998. The addition of the Taj Exotica Golf and Spa Resort-Doha and Al Khaleej project is intended to enhance the facilities available to local and visiting golfers in Qatar. The announcement brings QSi, which also runs a luxury health club in Doha, to a combined investment value of $1.3 billion.
