Great way to unwind - The service was great. I was meant to join the afternoon before but wasn’t well but Sonia managed to reschedule my booking to the following morning which I was super grateful for. We met Captain Mursalin promptly before 9am at the Marina 18 gate. The boat holds up to 5 passengers. Captain Mursalin made sure my daughter (7 y/o) wore a life jacket. The boat ride was quick and it was nice to see Pearl Island from the sea. When we arrived, we had our own shelter set up for us to relax in and enjoy our chilli bin of refreshments. Captain Mursalin then advised he’d be back to pick us up in a few hours. It was lovely just relaxing on the island and soaking up the sun. My daughter spent the whole time in the water and playing in the sand. The temperature was about 23 degrees so not too hot. The sand isn’t completely soft so I’d advise bringing sand shoes. The island has no facilities but there’s enough room between shelters to get changed without others seeing. I’d advise using the bathroom at Pearl island before boarding the boat as there’s no bathroom on the island. We really enjoyed our time. It was the perfect way to unwind and relax and spend our last day in Doha. I’d highly recommend.

An ideal spot for a peaceful retreat. - Visiting Al Safliya Island was such a refreshing escape! The serene beach and crystal-clear waters were perfect for a relaxing day out. I loved how peaceful and untouched the island felt—it was exactly what I needed to recharge. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for a quiet getaway!

Desert island with stunning Doha skyline - Finally almost deserted beach with the possibility of collecting shells and long walk on the tongue of sand that emerges at low tide. Bedouin tent available with well-stocked fridge box. I recommend bringing music and a ball x play.

Step outside busy Doha and chill - The sense of isolation and the swimming in the bath temperature sea. The guys were great and the cabana was lovely

Great view and atmosphere - The experience was great. The people were very friendly and helpful. They were also very thoughtful and communicative. I merely think it is overpriced but other than that, excellent! Well done to Ocean Escapes.
