Fuwairit Kite Beach Resort, a kitesurfing resort on Qatar's northern coast, will be opening its doors to the public next month.
This is another addition to the growing number of new resorts set to receive guests as Qatar hosts the FIFA World Cup later this year.
The beach resort will have a special place for kitesurfers with ideal winds and water for the sport. More than kitesuring, it also offers a range of adventuresome activities like paddle-boarding, parasailing, wakeboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba-diving and more. It is located approximately one and a half hours drive from Doha.
Fuwairit Beach Resort boasts 50 rooms, with eight connecting rooms which are perfect for a family of four or five. Forty of these rooms are facing the beach. Thirty two have king-size beds while eight are twin rooms.
It has been described as“one of the world's best kitesurfing secrets” and“the best of both worlds”. The place is suitable for the sport due to the nine-month perfect wind and flat lagoon.

Entering the resort, you will be greeted by a huge statue of a shaka sign (the pinky and thumb salute) considered the ultimate symbol of Aloha. Staff will greet you with the phrase“Aloha Marhaba” once you come inside the reception area of the resort. (Aloha is a Hawaiian greeting and Marhaba in Arabic means hello) Notably, the design of the main hall is a mixture of contemporary and modern with different displays of groovy cars, flamingos, scooter, and bicycles — the latter two hang over the receiving area.
There is also a playing table space composed of board games such as Connect Four and Jenga. The pantry area is likewise located at the main hall, which is then connected to the“Hang Loose” area where guests can relax and unwind.
All around the resort, graffiti art is everywhere showcasing the beach community, Qatar's culture, and ocean-inspired murals. Next to the reception area is the swimming pool overlooking the sea.
The rooms are also exceptional, featuring murals — one has the same theme as the artwork displayed outside the Msheireb station which highlights the people in Qatar. It is also equipped with television, cabinets, and a washroom.
The rooms facing the beach have sliding doors that lead to a patio, considered a relaxation area with a hammock, bean bag, table and chairs and a shower area placed.
Other facilities at the resort include a guest house, fitness centre, beach volleyball, beach football, yoga pavilion convertible to a function hall, and a soon-to-open outdoor cinema.
During nighttime the resort's outdoor lighting will only come from the rooms as there is a sea turtle habitat nearby. The same intuitive impulse that propels hatchlings toward the sea on beaches with natural lighting also causes them to crawl toward artificial light sources.
For people wanting to try the growing kitesurfing sport in the country, Fuwairit Beach Resort is offering lessons in the sport, for which they also provide the necessary equipment including the board, kite and gears. The ideal time to learn is between this September and until April-May as the wind in the area is perfect during this period.
