"The suburbs of Doha, Qatar are the venue for Al Messila Resort & Spa, a luxury resort housed in an imposing historical-style compound, surrounded by improbably green gardens and sparkling waterways and plunge pools. The rooms, suites, and villas are contemporary in style, though liberally influenced by Middle Eastern architecture and design, and they’ve got all the luxe necessities, from Frette linens to marble bathrooms. The spa is a particularly lavish one, and photogenic; in keeping with local custom it’s two spas and wellness centers in one, segregated by sex. A handful of high-end restaurants include the pan-Italian Michelin-starred Veritas." - Tablet Hotels
