Banana Island Resort, Doha by Anantara

Anantara Spa and Balance Wellness Centre is a Middle East wellness centre in an island resort setting, spread across lush botanical gardens. The resort features a surf pool, dive centre, VIP cinema, bowling alley and putting green.

As guests approach the Welcome Centre, they are met with a warm golden glow along the walkways leading to the illuminated wooden and glass façade. The wellness centre is adorned with warm golden lamps at the entrance and throughout the zen garden, while the lobby features a striking chandelier above a gently illuminated indoor pond, contrasting with clean white lighting in the waiting areas.

The various restaurants and lounges are cast in a cosy glow, creating an intimate ambience for diners. During the evening, the pools are surrounded by lanterns, which give the impression of a candlelit atmosphere. Deep blue and yellow lighting underneath the steps and the ceiling in the cinema highlight the speckled carpet to create the illusion of a starry sky. Guest rooms and suites feature subtle downlighting to envelop guests in a discreet and private space.
