Grand Hyatt Doha Hotel
A lagoon location that’s still close to the city
Grand Hyatt Doha is an easy-going sandy escape with a private beach and a great choice of restaurants.
Hugging the shoreline of West Bay Lagoon, Grand Hyatt Doha is an elegant mix of Arabian architecture and beautiful pools. Dine poolside on Italian, go Thai on the terrace and take sundowners with city skyline views. You’re in the perfect spot for combining a beach holiday with culture – dune bashing, desert safaris and the city centre’s souks are all a short hop away.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Food & drink
Menus at the restaurants draw on inspiration from around the globe – from authentic Thai food at Isaan and classic Italian plates at Rocca, to Middle Eastern cuisine at Majlis and West Coast comfort food at Santa Monica Breakfast Club. There’s a sleek, wood-panelled bar for a nightcap, often with live music, and a casual café for homemade treats.
The hotel’s four restaurants draw upon local and wider-reaching flavours. Santa Monica Breakfast Club brings healthy West Coast plates to the Gulf shores with a breezy SoCal vibe – think mint-hued sofas and trailing plants. Don’t miss the brunches here – they’re legendary. There’s Thai cuisine at signature restaurant Isaan; wood-fired pizzas and Italian plates at poolside Rocca; Middle Eastern cuisine and shisha at Majlis; and pastries and coffee at the laid-back Biscotti café. For drinks the elegant Dunes Bar – all gleaming marble counters and dark wood accents – is the place to go. The selection of wines and live music makes this a popular choice.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
