Tucked along Qatar’s untouched golden west coast, just an hour from Doha, Our Habitas Ras Abrouq is a luxury retreat that invites guests to reconnect with nature, creativity, and culture. Opened in 2021 and set beside the UNESCO-protected Al-Reem Biosphere Reserve, this soulful sanctuary delivers more than just upscale hospitality; it’s a living expression of environmental consciousness, cultural celebration, and sustainable travel.
Desert Meets Sea—Sustainably
Built in harmony with its desert-meets-ocean setting, Our Habitas Ras Abrouq blends sustainable design with natural beauty. The resort’s 42 private villas—ranging from one to four bedrooms—feature earthy interiors, expansive decks, plunge pools, and outdoor showers, each designed to reflect the surrounding landscape. The build process prioritized minimal disruption to the environment, aligning with Our Habitas’s commitment to regenerative development, low-impact materials, and localized sourcing.
From being entirely single-use plastic-free to implementing carbon offsetting programs and eco-conscious construction, Ras Abrouq joins a growing family of Our Habitas properties rooted in sustainability. The brand’s mission is clear: to create hotels that coexist with the ecosystems and cultures around them.
A Cultural Canvas in the Dunes
More than a resort, Ras Abrouq is a celebration of Qatari heritage and artistry. Guests can take part in sadu weaving and Arabic calligraphy workshops, or experience the striking natural and artistic landmarks nearby—including Richard Serra’s East Meets West sculpture and a stainless steel installation by local artist Khalid Shahin. Cultural programming was thoughtfully curated in partnership with local experts like Atlas Bookstore and Studio Imara, ensuring every design detail is grounded in place.
Eat Local, Feel Global
Dining at Qissa, the resort’s signature restaurant, is an immersive culinary experience led by Chef Vincente Vidal, featuring locally sourced, seasonal ingredients prepared over open fire. And just steps from the shore, the Beach Bar offers laid-back drinks and shareable bites.
Wellness Without Walls
Wellness here isn’t confined to a spa—it spills out into the desert, the sea, and the stars. Guests are invited to join daily yoga sessions, desert meditations, breathwork classes, and sound healing ceremonies, or partake in more active pursuits like kite surfing, glass-bottom kayaking, and padel tennis. The wellness center includes a state-of-the-art gym and amenities designed to support longevity and holistic health.
