Admired as Doha’s “Riviera Arabia,” The Pearl-Qatar offers residents and visitors the ultimate luxury and lifestyle experience.
The Pearl-Qatar occupies a prime location off the coast of Doha’s West Bay and boasts an assortment of residential accommodations for every taste and style. High-end retail and lavish hospitality, three world-class marinas and an impressive beachfront have made UDC’s flagship development the most glamorous address in the Middle East.
What was once a shallow seabed, a site for pearl-diving, has in five short years transformed Doha’s coastline, creating a place where dreams and reality become one. Four million square meters of reclaimed land, along with 32 kilometers of new seafront, will soon be home to about 41,000 residents occupying a variety of luxury accommodations - these are but few aspects that make The Pearl-Qatar an exclusive location.
The Island was the first development in Qatar to offer freehold and residential rights to international clients. From across the globe, buyers and investors have capitalized on the project’s potential. World-class architecture, luxurious amenities and aesthetic details exude old-world charm and the best in modern living. The result is as much a destination as it is an experience, blending residential charm with the comfort of an exclusive resort.
The Pearl-Qatar’s first phase and gateway to the Island houses the world’s longest waterfront luxury retail walkway, the 3.5 kilometer marina-front pedestrian boardwalk “La Croisette”, which is home to international hospitality brands and high-end boutiques. 2009 was a year of “firsts,” with Porto Arabia seeing new residents and visitors flock to the Island’s bourgeoning activities.
Porto Arabia witnesses the grand openings of a multitude of internationally renowned boutiques. Gianfranco Ferré, Missoni, Stefano Ricci and Harmont & Blaine led the way in 2009, followed in 2010 by a variety of luxury brands, including ETRO, Calvin Klein Collection and Salvatore Ferragamo. BiCE Ristorante was the first restaurant to open on the Island in 2009, while 2010 saw the openings of world-class restaurants including Pampano, Tse Yang, Burj Al Hamam and Liza.
Porto Arabia again hosted in 2010 numerous exclusive events as well as seasonal live entertainment in the midst of Porto Arabia’s award-winning 782-berth marina.
Development of The Pearl-Qatar’s neighborhoods is well underway. Upon completion, 18,831 residential dwellings will be in use on the Island.
