01 / The experience
Banana Island: sunset pool & beach pass
Banana Island’s afternoon pass begins with a boat from Al Shyoukh Port. You leave the city at 15:00, spend the afternoon at the resort and return at 21:00, giving the outing the feel of a small island escape within your Qatar week.
The Hello Beautiful Sunsets package includes beach and pool access until 19:00. Adults also receive restaurant and selected-activity credits, so there is a meal and something to do beyond swimming to consider. The Adventure Park is among the resort’s activities, with participation and extra charges depending on the attraction.
After the pools close, there is time to change and eat before the boat home. The island is alcohol-free, and children’s passes have different credit inclusions from the adult offer. Keep this for a free day: the 15:00–21:00 visit overlaps the race-weekend sessions, and the return sailing is part of the booking.

Getting there
Banana Island / boat from Al Shyoukh Port, Doha Corniche
Go to the Banana Island reception at Al Shyoukh Port on Doha Corniche for the booked 15:00 departure. Obtain the operator’s exact check-in entrance and boarding cutoff, and allow at least 30 minutes as a planning margin. A taxi is the simplest hotel connection; the island map pin is the destination, not a drivable mainland meeting point.
Before you book
Advance reservation is required. Confirm exact sailings, boarding cutoffs, all child ages, weather cancellation and refund terms. Pool/beach use ends before the return boat. The resort serves no alcohol and prohibits outside food, beverages and shisha. Reserve any activity with its own age/height/ability limits.
Alcohol-free resort. Explain dietary/allergy requirements to the restaurant; outside food, drinks and shisha are prohibited.
Accessibility
Discuss the mainland terminal, boarding ramp, boat seating, island transfers, changing facilities and pool/beach entry with the operator for the actual party. A boat-inclusive pass does not establish wheelchair-accessible boarding or independent access to sand.
