HWant to spend a full day beside the sea or relax by a hotel pool without paying for an overnight stay? A hotel day pass gives you temporary access to selected leisure facilities for a fixed fee.
Depending on the hotel and package, this may include a swimming pool, private beach, towels, sun loungers and changing facilities. Some passes also include a food-and-beverage credit, while others charge separately for everything you order.
Prices, access times and facilities can change according to the season, capacity and day of the week. Always reconfirm the complete package directly with the hotel before paying.

- Access to a private beach
- Towels and sun loungers
- Changing facilities

- A food-and-beverage credit

- Are towels, lockers and sun loungers included?
- What are the child rates and age categories?
- Is advance booking required?
- Are there separate weekday and weekend rates?

- Request a list of all facilities included.
- Ask whether any credit is fully or partially redeemable.
- Confirm the access hours and last-entry time.
- Check whether reservations and prepayment are compulsory.

Walk-in access may be refused when the hotel has reached its day-pass capacity.
Tips for getting better value
Visit on a weekday
Weekday passes are generally less expensive and the pool and beach areas may be quieter.
Compare the real cost
A QAR 295 pass with QAR 150 in dining credit may offer better overall value than a cheaper pass with no food or drinks included.
Check menu prices before assuming that the credit will cover a complete meal.
Bring your own essentials
Pack swimwear, sunscreen, a hat and any children’s swimming equipment permitted by the hotel. Ask whether outside food, swimming aids and personal towels are allowed.
Arrive near the start of the access window
Arriving early gives you more time to use the facilities and may improve your chances of finding a shaded lounger.
Protect children from the heat
A pool or beach does not remove the risks of heat and sun exposure. Use sunscreen, encourage children to drink water and take regular breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas.
Carry valid identification
Some hotels may request a Qatar ID, passport or other valid identification when checking in.
Check transport before leaving
Confirm the exact hotel entrance and allow additional time on busy weekends. Hotel and residential entrances on The Pearl can sometimes be located on different sides of the same development.
