Here’s my five go-to Privilee spots when I’m spending a weekend with the family
Weekends with my kids are all about keeping them entertained (and burning off some energy!), while making sure there’s something in it for me and my husband, too. Whether you're looking for a splash-friendly pool, somewhere with a great kids’ club, or a chilled beach with good coffee—these are my go-to Privilee spots when I’m with the family.
1. Four Seasons Hotel Doha
This one’s a win for everyone.
For the kids: There’s a lovely little pool with slides that’s perfect for toddlers and younger children—it’s compact, safe, and easy to keep an eye on them.
For the grown-ups: The dining options are next level. You get 15% off at amazing spots like NOBU, Makani Beach Club, and Curiosa. A great place to turn a simple day by the pool into a proper treat.
2. Waldorf Astoria Lusail, Doha
Probably the most action-packed option on the list!
For the kids: Wadi Lusail Waterpark is an absolute hit, and there’s access to the Kuniz Kids Club for some downtime. If you’ve got older kids or teens, they’ll love the Aloha Surf Club—and you get 20% off there too.
For the grown-ups: I love having time to squeeze in a workout or grab a quiet coffee. Plus, you get discounts across all the restaurants, so it’s easy to stay all day.
3. Intercontinental Doha Beach & Spa
A classic that never lets us down.
For the kids: Between the kids’ playroom and beach football sessions, mine are usually wiped out by lunchtime.
For the grown-ups: The pool is huge and always feels calm. With 20% off food and drinks, we tend to stay for lunch and make a day of it.
4. Grand Hyatt Doha Hotel
This is our easy, breezy weekend pick.
For the kids: A beautiful beach and a shaded kids' pool keep things fun.
For the grown-ups: Santa Monica Breakfast Club is ideal for a laid-back breakfast—you get 20% off and the pancakes are a big hit with my two!
5. Maysan Doha, LXR Hotels & Resorts
A hidden gem with wow factor.
For the kids: Their Kids Club is amazing—super interactive and thoughtfully designed.
For the grown-ups: The pool is stunning, and you get 30% off at La Casa Restaurant (the terrace is dreamy). You can also book the Padel court once a week, and there's a brilliant gym setup with separate areas for ladies and men.
Fuwairit Kite Beach
When we want something a little more outdoorsy…
For the kids: The beach is perfect for snorkelling, and there’s beach volleyball and football too—great for older kids.
For the grown-ups: The gym here is top-tier, the Padel courts are complimentary, and we use the 20% dining discount for a casual bite after a morning on the sand.
I hope this helps you plan your next family day out! Whether you want a bit of adventure or just somewhere to relax while the kids are kept busy, Privilee has so many options that make weekends feel exciting.
