Qetaifan Island North

Qetaifan Island North is Qatar's most ambitious waterfront leisure address. A 1.3 million square-metre island engineered off Lusail's coast, it wraps seven beaches, a navigable 1.2 km salt canal and a linear park around a resort core anchored by the Rixos Premium Qetaifan hotel and Meryal Waterpark, whose Icon Tower carries the world's tallest water slide. Residences run from beach villas to waterfront apartments, including branded homes, set among shopping plazas and canal-side promenades. The whole island is designed around leisure: it functions as much as a destination as a neighborhood, drawing day-trippers, hotel guests and residents who want a permanent resort lifestyle. For investors, Qetaifan offers full freehold ownership within Lusail and one of the strongest recent price-growth stories in Qatar, up around 7% in 2024. The trade-off is a leisure- and second-home-driven demand profile and reliance on off-plan delivery, which ties returns more closely to tourism cycles and completion timing than to steady mainland rental demand.
