Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara
Doha, Banana Island, Qatar
Arriving by catamaran sets the tone: this is an island built around family days, with a surf pool, adventure park, bowling and cinema all a short walk apart. The Cool Mint club runs from nine in the morning until nine at night, with a separate teen den. It's alcohol-free, which some parents will love, and a natural add-on to a Qatar Airways stopover.
