Overview
An Elie Saab branded address on Qetaifan Island North, off Lusail. Sea-front one to three bedroom apartments by Dar Global, freehold, from a guide of around GBP 410,000 on a Qatari riyal basis.
Omnia presents Les Vagues by Elie Saab, a sea-front collection of branded residences on Qetaifan Island North, the leisure island that sits off Lusail, the planned city north of Doha. The development carries interiors by Elie Saab Maison, the home line of the couturier, and is delivered by Dar Global within the wider Qetaifan Projects masterplan. It is an intimate, sea-facing address rather than a large tower cluster, with apartments looking out across the Gulf and back toward the Lusail skyline.
The homes are one, two and three bedroom apartments, released in phases that the developer brands Les Vagues 01, 02 and 03. The first phase carries the full one to three bedroom mix and is due to complete around 2026; the later phases are predominantly two bedroom and are due around 2027. Pricing starts from a guide of around GBP 410,000, with the purchase transacting in Qatari riyals from about QAR 2.0 million. Ownership is freehold, in the buyer's own name, because Qetaifan Island North sits inside one of Qatar's designated freehold zones.
This is an off-plan and phased purchase. The development is under construction, with handover spread across 2026 and 2027, and Omnia presents it as an entry into branded freehold ownership in Doha rather than as a yield play. We set out below what is verified, what is still being built, and the honest counterweights a sterling buyer should weigh before committing.

The homes are one, two and three bedroom apartments, released across the phases the developer brands Les Vagues 01, 02 and 03. The first phase carries the full bedroom range; the later phases lean to two bedroom homes. Layouts run from compact one bedroom apartments to larger three bedroom homes, several with maid's rooms, and the sea aspect is carried through the collection.

One bedroom apartments
The entry layout in the first phase, in the region of 81 to 126 sqm. These are the homes that sit closest to the guide price of around GBP 410,000, on a Qatari riyal basis from about QAR 2.0 million.
Two bedroom apartments
Roughly 124 to 165 sqm across the phases, and the predominant type in the later releases (Les Vagues 02 and 03). The most common choice for buyers wanting a sea-front pied-a-terre or a rental hold.
Three bedroom apartments
The largest homes in the first phase, broadly 177 to 257 square metres, with the larger plans including a maid's room.
Winter Garden terraces
A recurring feature across the collection: terraces designed by Elie Saab Maison to draw sea views and light into the living space, a signature of the interiors rather than an optional extra.

Why this address
The case for it.
Interiors by Elie Saab Maison
The residences and the public areas are designed by Elie Saab Maison, the home line of the couturier. This is the verified design signature of the development: contemporary lines with marble and bronze accents, and Winter Garden terraces that frame the sea. The brand is the reason to choose this address over a comparable unbranded one nearby.
Sea-front on Qetaifan Island North
An intimate, sea-facing collection on a leisure island off Lusail, anchored by the Meryal Waterpark and beachfront promenades. The position looks across the Gulf and back to the Lusail skyline, with the island's amenity a short walk from the door.
Delivered by Dar Global within the Qetaifan masterplan
The Qetaifan Island North masterplan is by Qetaifan Projects, owned by Katara Hospitality. Dar Global, the London-listed international arm of Dar Al Arkan, develops the Elie Saab branded residences here. Elie Saab is the brand and interiors partner. We name no base-build architect, because the developer does not.
Freehold in your own name
Non-Qataris can own freehold here, with title held in their own name and no time limit, because Qetaifan Island North sits within Lusail, a government-designated freehold zone. Outside such zones a foreign buyer holds only a 99-year usufruct, so the zone is what makes full freehold possible.
A guide from around GBP 410,000
One to three bedroom apartments start from a guide of around GBP 410,000. The purchase transacts in Qatari riyals, from about QAR 2.0 million. We show sterling only as a guide; the contract is denominated in riyals, and the figure moves with the exchange rate at the time you commit.
Released in phases, under construction
The development comes in phases the developer brands Les Vagues 01, 02 and 03. The first carries the full one to three bedroom mix and is due around 2026; the later phases are predominantly two bedroom and due around 2027. It is being built now, with handover staggered across 2026 to 2027.
Tax position and residency
The Qatari riyal is pegged to the US dollar, and Qatar levies no personal income tax and no capital gains tax. A qualifying property purchase can support residency. Omnia confirms the current thresholds and your eligibility in writing before you commit.

Ownership & how to buy
How ownership works.
Who can own
Non-Qataris can own freehold here, with title in their own name and no time limit, because Qetaifan Island North sits within Lusail, one of Qatar's government-designated freehold zones; the list was widened under Cabinet Resolution No. 21 of 2026. Outside the designated zones a foreign buyer instead holds a 99-year renewable usufruct, so the zone is what makes freehold possible. The riyal is pegged to the US dollar, and Qatar levies no personal income tax and no capital gains tax. A qualifying purchase can support residency. Omnia confirms the current rules, the exact title instrument on the specific home, and your eligibility in writing before you commit.
Tenure
Freehold, held in the buyer's own name with no time limit, within the designated zone. We confirm the exact title instrument recorded on your specific apartment before exchange, because tenure is the one fact a buyer should never take on trust.
Currency and price basis
The purchase transacts in Qatari riyals, from about QAR 2.0 million. The sterling figure of around GBP 410,000 is a guide only. The riyal is pegged to the US dollar, so the riyal price is stable against the dollar, but a sterling buyer still carries QAR to GBP exchange exposure between reservation and the staged payments.
Payment plan
A construction-linked plan is offered, with portals citing a 20/70/10 structure: 20 per cent on reservation, 70 per cent across construction, and 10 per cent on handover. Exact terms vary by phase and release, and Omnia confirms the current plan on your chosen home with Dar Global before you commit.

In detail
A closer reading.
Setting. Les Vagues sits on Qetaifan Island North, a leisure island reached from Lusail, the planned city immediately north of central Doha. The island is anchored by the Meryal Waterpark and a run of beachfront promenades, and Les Vagues takes a sea-front position within it. Indicative distances, which should be treated as approximate: Lusail Stadium is around 3 km, Lusail Boulevard around 4 km, The Pearl-Qatar around 5 km, and Hamad International Airport around 20 km. The waterpark and the island's own beachfront are within walking distance.
What it is, and how it differs. Les Vagues is a branded-residence development: the homes carry the Elie Saab name, and the interiors and the furnishing of the public areas are designed by Elie Saab Maison. That is the load-bearing design fact. It reads as a low to mid-rise, sea-facing scheme rather than a row of towers, and it is deliberately intimate in scale: an editorial collection of sea-front apartments rather than mass inventory. It is distinct from the other, unrelated projects on the same island, which are by different developers and architects and are not part of this address.
Phasing, honestly. The development is released in phases that the developer brands Les Vagues 01, 02 and 03. The first phase carries the full one to three bedroom range and is due to complete around 2026. The later phases are predominantly two bedroom and are due around 2027. We do not publish a single hard completion date or per-phase price, because the public record genuinely conflicts: the developer's own page and the leading Qatar portal cite handover dates a year apart. What is certain is that the scheme is under construction now, with delivery staggered across 2026 to 2027.
Developer and provenance, evidenced. The Qetaifan Island North masterplan is the work of Qetaifan Projects, a Qatari developer owned by Katara Hospitality. The Elie Saab branded residences on the island, including Les Vagues, are developed by Dar Global, the international arm of Saudi Arabia's Dar Al Arkan, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker DAR. Elie Saab is the brand and the interiors partner. We do not name a base-build architecture firm, because the developer's own materials do not state one.
Daily life and amenity. The development is planned around its sea aspect: an infinity pool overlooking the Gulf, landscaped courtyards with sea views, and Winter Garden terraces that draw the water into the apartments. There is a fitness centre, a 24-hour concierge and reception, direct access to the beach and waterfront, and podium-level retail. The public areas are furnished by Elie Saab Maison, so the brand carries from the residences into the shared spaces. Beyond the gates, the island's own leisure offer, including the Meryal Waterpark and the promenades, sits a short walk away.
Questions & answers
What buyers ask us.
Where exactly is Les Vagues by Elie Saab?
On Qetaifan Island North, a leisure island reached from Lusail, the planned city north of Doha. The development takes a sea-front position on the island, which is anchored by the Meryal Waterpark and beachfront promenades. Lusail Stadium is around 3 km, The Pearl-Qatar around 5 km, and Hamad International Airport around 20 km.
Who designed and who is building it?
The interiors and the public areas are designed by Elie Saab Maison, the home line of the couturier. The development is delivered by Dar Global, the London-listed international arm of Dar Al Arkan, within the Qetaifan Island North masterplan by Qetaifan Projects, a Qatari developer owned by Katara Hospitality. Elie Saab is the brand and interiors partner; the developer does not publish a base-build architect, and neither do we.
What does it cost?
One to three bedroom apartments start from a guide of around GBP 410,000. The purchase transacts in Qatari riyals, from about QAR 2.0 million. Sterling is shown only as a guide and moves with the exchange rate; the contract is denominated in riyals.
What are Les Vagues 01, 02 and 03?
They are phases of this one development. The first phase carries the full one to three bedroom range and is due to complete around 2026; the later phases are predominantly two bedroom and are due around 2027. The legacy listings for the 02 and 03 phases now point here, because they describe the same address.
When does it complete, and can I buy off-plan?
It is under construction now, with handover staggered across 2026 and 2027 by phase. It is an off-plan, phased purchase, so delivery risk applies.
Can a foreign buyer own here, and is it freehold?
Yes. Non-Qataris can own freehold, with title in their own name and no time limit, because Qetaifan Island North sits within Lusail, a designated freehold zone. Outside such zones a foreign buyer holds only a 99-year usufruct, so the zone is what makes freehold possible. Qatar levies no personal income tax and no capital gains tax, and a qualifying purchase can support residency. Omnia confirms the current rules and your eligibility before you commit.
