Hilton Salwa Beach Resort: Whether You’re Seeking Relaxation or Adventure, This Getaway Delivers in Spades
There’s truly something for everyone at this beachside getaway
It’s rare to find a minibreak destination that caters to the whole family; even rarer to find one that holds affinity with solo travellers and couples alike. Cue Hilton Salwa Beach Resort – a sea lovers’ paradise offering something for everyone and located just under an hour’s drive from Doha.
With white-washed walls punctuated by lines of deep blue, the focus at the resort is very much on bringing the outside in; a design ethos that makes sense given the spectacular sea and beach views. The resort is large, and can be explored via buggy or by foot, with each area offering something different to guests, from a lively pool area, to an adventurous waterpark, a tranquil spa, and a range of excellent dining options. Beach villas are an accommodation highlight – spacious, light, and bright with generously proportioned living areas and bedrooms as well as a dedicated swimming pool and beach access on your doorstep. They offer total privacy and a real sense of retreat from daily life.
For activity-loving kids, the resort’s waterpark – one of the largest in the Middle East – is a key attraction. The aptly titled Desert Falls features 19 attractions with 30 rides and slides. Safety is a priority here, with a remarkably high ratio of lifeguards to guests meaning that parents can feel at ease. The most action-packed area of the resort, the park welcomes both residents and non-residents. There’s also a Kid’s Club and dedicated child-friendly areas including a swimming pool, so that the little ones will have plenty of exploring to do. A welcome children’s gift on arrival provides a special touch.
For those seeking an escape, then Hilton Salwa Beach Resort’s eforea spa is a must-visit and a reason to make the trip to the destination alone. Expert therapists guide you through highly personalized and transformative journeys incorporating both ancient traditions and modern technology to renew mind, body and spirit. From Turkish bathing to a Royal Hammam experience and a range of signature massages and facials, you will emerge brighter and with a real glow.
Dining options are multifarious. At Dante, guests can enjoy an authentic Tuscan experience in which fresh, seasonal ingredients capture the culinary heart of Italy. The elegant Nesma Lobby Lounge plays host to an elevated Afternoon Tea concept with a Middle Eastern twist. The award-winning Levantine brings Arabian dishes to life with gusto, whilst Miss Wong serves authentic Chinese fare in a beautifully decorative setting.
Curated experiences are also a major draw for the resort and encompass everything from desert adventures to water sports. A dolphin cruise proves a memorable highlight, with staff transporting guests over crystal clear waters to the most dolphin-friendly spots to guarantee a sighting.
It’s offerings such as these that have seen Hilton Salwa Beach Resort attract a loyal clientele from Qatar and neighbouring Saudi Arabia, as well as a plethora of international visitors. Staff are welcoming and friendly and do their utmost to ensure that all your needs are met.
Whether opting for a restful weekend of in-room dining and pool time, or something altogether more adventurous, a beach mini break at the resort definitely ticks all the holiday boxes.
