Al Messila is a forerunner in merging superlative wellbeing, much-admired dining, pioneering little explorers� club and affluent accommodation.
LOCATION
Set within an ethnic vegetal oasis of Doha, Al Messila Resort & Spa is the first Luxury Collection resort in Qatar. Posing outstanding lifestyle, wellness and hedonistic brilliance in a gated, �private palace� style setting. Located barely 25 minutes from Hamad International Airport, this contemporary resort is designed to respect the area�s natural heritage. Taking up the milieu through its name, meaning �where water flows, Al Messila serves as home base to innate flora such as Lawz-Hindi, Acacia, Sidra and Mimosa tress, together with an wealth of colourful fauna. The air of tranquillity set in, our check in was done in a jiffy and I was led to my villa.
ACCOMMODATION
The 152 alluring rooms, suites and villas are exceptional, visually vivid and correspondingly inspirational, presenting matchless facilities and conveniences to one of the realm�s most gorgeous destinations. My villa was spacious (read oversized) and bursting with day light. Bejewelled in earnest creamy tones with plush, relaxed interiors, featuring top class amenities, perfect example of old-style Arabic hospitality encounters current ambition

DINING FACILITIES
Each experience at the dining spaces was top drawer and offered a great variety of both drinking and dining! Deli Kitchen furnaces agronomic and healthy products in a distinctive concept, where I could savour, shop and learn under the same roof. Michelin starred Chef Pino Lavarra�s collaborating and excellent gastronomic understanding adds cleverness in an easy way. Sn�ull - All-Day Nordic is enthused by friluftsliv, the Scandinavian viewpoint of reconnecting with nature, Michelin starred Chef Theis Brydegaard�s offers ingredients with Nordic flavours in their purest and richest form. Veritas offers Northern Italian cuisine posing old-style recipes with sensual flavours. Grace and artistry of Michelin starred Chef Stefano Ciotti brings an irreplaceable twist to Italian classics. Elixir mixes things up with untried drinks concocted in a laboratory style bar ambience. An inimitable draw, this is where signature homemade syrups, blended beverages, and infusions are combined, to produce an extraordinary exploration of taste. WA�HA is a cherished setting amidst the opulent botanical garden, outstanding outdoor pool, and warm sunny breezes. This extraordinary pool lounge features an exceptional experience where advanced gourmet cuisine meets casual dining.

STAFF AND SERVICE
We were looked after like royalty, each team member came across as genuine, warm, and caring, wanted to go that extra mile to ensure that all our needs were taken care of and all this was done with a big smile. Al Messila indeed is a fine example of Qatari warmth and hospitality, it integrates the traditionally excellent, large-hearted and luxuriously comfortable service with staff which is intuitive of all the guest's needs, thus making each guest feel like Royalty. The resort offers multiple high-quality dining options and activities and we were completely spoilt for choice.
