The key to a great daycation with your little ones is finding a venue that offers as many activities for youngsters as they do adults – because why should kids have all the fun?
From kids’ clubs and splash pads to sundowners and award-winning restaurants, these are Qatar’s best family-friendly pool days.

Spend a day with the little ones at Grand Hyatt Doha Hotel’s two family-friendly pools; Rocca and Villa. Rocca is conveniently located by the much-loved Italian restaurant, Rocca, where you can enjoy wood-fired pizza as you daycay!

Looking for a family-friendly pool day in Qatar that’s closer to home? Look no further than the InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa, which is just a short drive away from the heart of West Bay, The Pearl-Qatar, and downtown Lusail.
Youngsters will love the pool and beach area, while parents will have peace of mind thanks to the shaded kids’ pool. Your kids can splash about, run around the beach, or play at the playground, with complimentary access for infants and two children aged 3 - 17 as well as one Nanny per family. There’s also a playroom, complete with a ball pit, for little ones if they get bored in the pool.
We did say family-friendly pool days in Qatar need to offer plenty for adults, too, and the InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa boasts one of the city’s most incredible sundowner spots: La Mar Beach. Newly opened in October 2022, the beach club serves up dishes from the award-winning La Mar with a side of views of the West Bay skyline six days a week (La Mar Beach is closed on Sundays).
The whole family can dine at Belgian Café, Coral, Mykonos, Novecento and Paloma with 20% off food and beverages. Our pick would have to be Mykonos, which has a special menu just for kids.
