The Beach Club is the first project planned for completion by the first quarter of 2020, featuring a clubhouse that offers an assemblage of activities to be enjoyed by the whole family.


On this occasion, H.E Sheikh Nawaf Bin Jassim Bin Jabor Al-Thani, Chairman of Katara Hospitality, said: “Qetaifan Projects represents a milestone in our commitment to invest in developing the tourism industry and strengthening the local hospitality sector in Qatar. Since Katara Hospitality’s vision is to change the hospitality world through investment and innovation, which will leave a prominent legacy for future generations in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.”

H.E Sheikh Nasser Bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Vice Chairman of Katara Hospitality and Managing Director of Qetaifan Projects, valued the attendance of investors, saying ““We are honored to welcome the first owners of Qetaifan Island North’s phase 1 plots. This, though, demonstrates Qetaifan Projects’ position in the local real estate development market and reflects the confidence that corresponds to the achievements and ambition for Qetaifan Island North to the highest international standards and compete as the first leisure and entertainment touristic destination in Qatar. Which puts on us more responsibility by our commitment to provide the best for our beloved country.” He continued, “We are working hard to add to the real estate development market in the recent period, and we consider the Qetaifan Island North as a starting point for Qetaifan projects towards the development of more projects serving the various sectors of the country.”

H.E Sheikh Nasser Bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Vice Chairman of Katara Hospitality and Managing Director of Qetaifan Projects added, “Qetaifan Island North is the first project of Qetaifan Projects, we are keen to see this project come to light in line with Qatar National vision 2030. The development of Qetaifan Island North is more than just a project. We see it differently, in addition to it being one of the national projects that aim to serve the real estate development sector, the elements and attractions that will be featured on the island will in turn aim to serve different sectors of the country, most notably the hotels and waterpark, which will meet the growing demand in preparation for the 2022 World Cup, and revitalize the tourism sector. We have brought in international partnerships such as Rixos Hotels operating the waterpark, hotels, and beach club for the first time in Qatar. H.E Sheikh Nasser concluded by saying: “We believe that standing-out is one way of creativity, and seeing things differently is our way to success. Our differentiator starts from within, our work environment, where everyone works hand in hand believing in the project and its objectives. We believe that all involved parties must succeed, starting from the employees to the investor. Hence, our distinction to make Qetaifan Island North an island like no other.”

It is worth mentioning that Qetaifan Island North, located off Lusail city, features seven beaches; which makes it the city’s distinct waterfront destination. The island spans approximately 1.3 million square meters with 830,000 square meters of attractions.
