Sharq Village & Spa, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Amazing time to be had in this place. So close to airport and all attractions. Spacious villa layouts makes it feel like a real retreat. The staff are amazing. The Spanish lady in the restaurant was super attentive to our needs. So happy we came here. Thank you Sharq

Very useful Super Stretching class. Friday morning atmosphere was very inspiring. Thanks to coach for helping us to get best experience

Eveything is well taken care of! Especially the dinner, Saydul was very accomodating and nice.

Great stretching session with Ravi
I will recommend to my friends and will come back
Beautiful atmosphere and place

Thank you

A must for any family in Doha to enjoy a relaxing & peaceful time by the pool & the sea.

The staff here are fantastic & extremely attentive, regularly offering cool water, refreshing towels & even sun glasses cleaning! Special thanks to Masud, our server who looked after us throughout the day. Moses the lifeguard at the beach was so kind offering even a variety of beach toys to the kids to keep them entertained.

The food and drinks were all 5 ⭐.

Thank you for making our stay so special and memorable.

Unfortunately, as it transpired, we only had a 24-hour stay at this highly impressive hotel. We arrived in the early hours of the morning but the warmth and attentiveness of the service was exemplary and this was the case throughout our stay.
Our room was spacious, very clean and well equipped while the hotel grounds and beach area were meticulously manicured and maintained.
There had been a mix up re our check-out time, through no fault of the hotel, but they owned the issue and provided an excellent meal for gratis as a gesture of goodwill. The quality of the food was first class, while we were treated as dignitaries by the attentive staff.
A superb hotel that is highly recommended.

I am sincerely grateful to Rashid for the work he has done! His hard work and dedication deserve the highest praise 🤗😊🌺

Very professional team.reseption.braek fest .cleaners...spa ally Shahdat....the concept of village is very interesting .the rooms are confortable and big.hope to return as soon as possible.

My family and I stayed at the Sharq Village & Spa (Ritz Carlton) in Doha for 5 nights and it was a fantastic stay. I looked at several properties in Doha before booking and we are happy to have chosen this hotel. For anyone traveling with young kids, this is the place. We have a 3-year old and the staff were excellent with him, the Ritz Kids program is wonderful (he received a very cute mini tote, a stuffed rabbit and his own kid-friendly toiletries) and the kids menu is great. Our room was clean, the food was delicious, the room service was flawless and, again, all of the staff were friendly, professional and always helpful. We would absolutely stay again if we return to Doha. Thank you to the Sharq Village Team for a memorable stay!

Our stay at the Sharq Village Ritz Carlton was amazing!
The area is beautiful and the hotel is great located just a short walk from the national museum of Qatar.
The room was very spacious and Sahadat from house keeping service always took care of the room! It was always clean and tidy.
The breakfast was really great with many option from a buffet and the opportunity to order other things à la carte!

We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel!

Of all the five-star hotels I have ever stayed in, this one is by far the best. From the moment I arrived, the level of service was exceptional. The staff are incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely attentive without ever being intrusive. What impressed me most was that you never have to ask for help — simply looking around is enough, and someone is immediately there to assist you.

The atmosphere is refined yet welcoming, and every detail is handled with care and professionalism. This hotel truly sets a new standard for five-star hospitality, and I would not hesitate to return.

I often attend Pilates and stretching classes, and “Super Stretching with Ravi” was a wonderful experience. The new poses and exercises significantly improved how I felt. Thank you to the instructor for such a professional and enjoyable class.

My family and I had an absolutely delightful stay at Ritz Sharq Village & Spa! The property is incredibly spacious, and our suite was beautifully appointed, feeling both luxurious and comfortable. We were welcomed with a generous array of treats, cakes, and drinks—a truly pleasant surprise that set the tone for our stay.

The lighting in the suite created a cozy, mood-lit atmosphere, perfect for relaxing, though a few brighter options would have been helpful when getting ready as the overall lighting felt quite dark. Similarly, adding a chair in the dressing area could make it even more convenient. The bathroom was exceptionally spacious, featuring a stunning bath and luxurious Diptyque toiletries. While the shower pressure could be stronger and not all jets were fully functional, these are minor points in an otherwise outstanding suite experience.

The lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas, adding a festive and cheerful ambiance. Dining on the half-board plan was excellent. The buffet offered a wide variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, and the staff were consistently attentive and welcoming—from opening doors to serving with a smile, they made us feel truly valued throughout our stay.

Overall, Ritz Sharq Village & Spa is a beautifully decorated, serene retreat with impeccable service. We felt genuinely pampered and at home, and we will certainly be returning. This property is the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and hospitality!

I joined a Super Stretch class with Ravi and really enjoyed the calm, attentive atmosphere. The exercises were gentle yet effective, and I felt much more relaxed and open afterwards. Ravi explains everything clearly and creates a very supportive space during the class.

My family and I stayed in 2 hotels. The classical Ritz Sharq and the ultra modern Fairmont at Katara Towers.

This review will concentrate on the Ritz and I will do a separate one for the Fairmont.

We were welcomed warmly to the Ritz hotel by all staff, especially those at front desk Aneesa and Guest experience Agustina who is fabulous! What was also very impressive was that staff that were always available to open our car doors and lobby doors. This is the epitome of a 5-Star hotel. Jon in particular was very impressive and always so helpful and professional. He brought our luggage promptly and the next day took us on a short tour to see all the hotels facilities which was very helpful.

At the Ritz we stayed in a 2 - Bedroom Suite. The Suite itself was large, opulent and the bathroom was definitely the highlight. It was huge with a very beautiful bath with Dipytique toiletries. The bath also filled and unfilled very quickly which is very important. We were celebrating some special anniversaries, marriages, successes and the Ritz were really lovely in recognising those with cakes and balloons and made us feel special! Housekeeping were particularly impressive and always available to clean the room and for someone who is ultra tidy and clean this was very much appreciated

There are a few areas the Suite could have been improved, especially given it's huge size. Some of these are easy fixes and would enhance the experience. The whole Suite needs more lighting. I understand the low lighting that was installed when the hotel was created for a zen ambience and this can still be kept. But on a separate panel the should be extra bright lighting which is essential for getting ready and putting on makeup. There need to be more mirrors everywhere. There is plenty of space for them and in the second bedroom, it desperately needs a full size mirror. That bedroom also needs a safe of it's own. In the bathroom there is a lovely area where you can put your makeup etc to get ready but no chair. The shower pressure was not great and all the jets were not working. Please do not take these as criticisms, as the Suite on the whole is lovely, but it would be outstanding with a few improvements.

The beach is small, but with some very nice staff and the pools were lovely too. We only used them once as the weather was warm but not hot enough!

The main restaurant where breakfast was served was very inviting and the breakfast buffet and eggs ordered from the menu were delicious. There was a great spread of varied food and something for everyone. We had half board and the buffet both at lunch at dinner was outstanding. It included soft drinks and fresh juices.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Ritz Sharq and the staff make you feel like you are coming home which is a lovely feeling!

Our stay at Sharq Village & Spa, a Ritz-Carlton Hotel was nothing short of exceptional—warm, immersive, and deeply personal.
From the very first moment, the concierge team at the main entrance set the tone with grace and efficiency. Lily’s welcoming smile made us feel instantly at home, followed by a seamless check-in experience. A special mention must go to Ms. Rail Lukas, who escorted us to our rooms with care and surprised us with a big jar of Arabic coffee mix powder—an incredibly thoughtful and generous gesture that truly touched us.
Mr. Raju, who handled our luggage, did so with warmth and professionalism, making the arrival experience smooth and pleasant.
Dinner was made special thanks to Chef Mett, who arranged a comforting and delicious Indian meal. The dal and rice were outstanding—simple, soulful, and prepared with heart. The teams at both the Dinner and Breakfast restaurants were attentive, warm, and consistent in service.
A beautiful cultural highlight was the evening ceremony on 7th January, where the Guest Services in-charge from Russia, dressed in traditional attire, added charm and elegance to the experience.
Our time at the beach was equally memorable. The lifeguards who took us kayaking were professional and reassuring, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. The pool bar and lounge team thoughtfully arranged pizza right at the beach, while another team member ensured we were well taken care of with water and SPF—small details that made a big difference.
Housekeeping maintained immaculate rooms throughout our stay, reflecting the Ritz-Carlton commitment to excellence.
The Spa experience deserves special recognition. Mr. Vency Fernandes is an absolute gentleman—professional, calm, and incredibly warm. His presence alone elevates the spa experience and deserves special appreciation.
And finally, a heartfelt mention to Mr. Ben, the security team member from Kenya. Our conversation with him at the beach was delightful—what a wonderful human being and a true ambassador of hospitality.
I may have missed a few names, but every team member—seen and unseen—contributed to making this stay truly special. Special thanks as well to Ms. Imane Barcouch for her caring outreach and leadership.
Sharq Village & Spa is not just a hotel—it is an experience crafted with heart. We leave with beautiful memories and look forward to returning.

I went for the New Year, a solo trip! The hotel was amazing, beautiful and very aesthetic! I went to their restaurants, spa, gym, pool area, beach etc… all staff were friendly and took their time to talk to me and nothing was too much trouble. A shout out to all staff, you do the hotel proud. Also, Sahadat, my housekeeper… room 505, great man, kept my room clean and always stocked. I’ll be back soon and thank you for making me feel welcome xx

We had a great time at this hotel , we stayed for one week , the hotel was very clean and tidy, considering the place it’s very close to the airport which it’s very convenient , also it’s close to many places which you could just go by walking(can be a little noisy for some people , the planes and helicopters ).The staff are very professional , helpful and friendly, we will like to mention Sahadat who took care of our villa and did a fantastic job every day , also the guys by the pool are very helpful and took good care of us , the only minus I will like to mention it’s the New Year’s party , we attended last year the new year party in the Ritz Carlton Doha and for the same price you get so much in terms of food variety, atmosphere, service, the whole experience was great , this year we decided to try the Sharq Village and was not close at all, the buffet was poor in quality and choices, the atmosphere was not festive and feel boring sometimes, so in general it’s a great place to stay but they could improve the food in general.

The service was extremely good, from the receptionists, who were extremely friendly, to the restaurant staff and housekeeping. The food was amazing, very clean and hygienic. The rooms were legendary. We tried the spa, and that was the best experience my wife and I have ever had. We definitely recommend this hotel if you visit Doha. Plus, it is in the perfect location, close to both the airport and the downtown area.

Our stay at Sharq Village, Ritz-Carlton Doha was, without exaggeration, the best vacation I have ever experienced. While the hotel itself is beautiful, what truly made this stay exceptional was the Guest Relations Team, whose care, professionalism, and genuine kindness transformed our visit into something deeply personal and unforgettable.

I organised this trip as part of my mother’s recovery from cancer. Prior to arrival, Guest Relations reached out by email, and I shared the reason for our stay. When we arrived, my mother was welcomed with flowers, balloons, and a cake - all in pink, the colour symbolising cancer survivorship. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that left her completely overwhelmed and emotional. She had not expected anything special, let alone something so meaningful and heartfelt.

From that moment on, everything exceeded our expectations.

The property itself is stunning: beautiful architecture, excellent restaurants, serene pools, and a peaceful waterfront. We were upgraded to a spacious apartment-style suite with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and multiple balconies - it felt more like a private residence than a hotel room. The location is also ideal, conveniently positioned between the city and the airport, and close to the National Museum of Qatar, making sightseeing easy without sacrificing relaxation.

However, what truly sets this hotel apart is its people.

The Guest Relations Team consistently went above and beyond - checking in on us without ever being intrusive, anticipating our needs, and ensuring that every detail of our stay was seamless. They turned a luxury hotel into a warm, safe, and welcoming home.

I would like to recognise several team members who made a lasting impression: Anisha, Bander, Lili, Agustina, Diana, Ahmad, Yalda, and Filippo from the breakfast team. Each of them played a role in making our stay so special.

I would also like to single out Mrs. Rail Lucas, who was simply exceptional. She met with us daily, helped organise our dinners, recommended places to visit in Doha, ensured we were always comfortable, and still found time for a friendly conversation despite her many responsibilities. She made us feel genuinely cared for - while always giving credit to her team rather than herself.

As someone who manages a large team professionally, I recognise true leadership when I see it. Mrs. Rail is exactly that: kind, sincere, attentive, and deeply committed to both her guests and her colleagues. Her care was not performative - it was genuine.
If you are considering a stay at Sharq Village, Ritz-Carlton Doha, I cannot recommend it highly enough. And if you have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Rail, please say hello from me.

Thank you for giving my mother something priceless - her smile.
