REVIEW
Romance in life is like a refreshing breeze. It’s a crucial element to maintain happy relationships. The love of your life needs romantic getaways to keep the flame in with fun, excitement, and happiness. In the tough life routine, we all need to keep your passion growing with romantic retreats.
Having a hectic routine post-covid, I wanted a romantic escape with my wife to relax and have an ‘Us time’. We want to explore something innovative yet most romantic so that I and my wife can reap the best out of this day. Something that redefines luxury, innovation, and grandeur.
While we look out for that dream staycation, our search leads to just one answer –The Banyan Tree Doha. If there’s anything lavish and deluxe we wanted to spend our best day in, it could be all alone in the Banyan Tree Doha. This place definitely has the reputation and respect that I couldn’t help but plan for a staycation there.
The best thing is, we didn’t need any planning or formalities for our romantic staycation. The Banyan Tree Doha’s management took all of that hustle from our plate and provided a complete day-night retreat plan for our romantic staycation.
Celebrating yet another milestone of our marriage at the most luxurious romantic staycation is one dream that eventually becomes a reality.
Creating Unforgettable Memories on a Romantic Staycation at the Banyan Tree Doha
A Brief Itinerary of our One Night Staycation at Banyan Tree Doha
Nestled in the heart of Musharieb, within the beautiful Doha oasis project, Banyan Tree is a picture-perfect place for a romantic escape. Whether you’re looking for an intimate and relaxed in room stay or need a pampers spa treatment or a foodie celebration, Banyan Tree Doha has it for you.
About the Romantic Retreat Package
We were offered a ‘Romantic Retreat Package’ by Banyan Tree Doha. You can get insights into all the packages offered on the Banyan tree Doha website. It offers you special romantic setup in the room and bathroom, breakfast in suite or in Il Galante in addition to your choice of romantic dinner in one of their amazing outlets (Il Galante or Saffron). To complete your experience, you can enjoy special discount on spa treatments.
Checking in the Serenity Club Suite
I was offered a Banyan Tree Serenity Club Suite that comes with the Romantic Retreat package. We checked into the club lounge. The experience of checking in was very swift, a very VIP style with great service from the beginning.
We were greeted with a welcome drink as well as lovely roses that smelled great, how pleasantly beautiful!
The hotel staff escorted us to our room. It was a spacious room, beautifully furnished and decorated with large windows to enjoy the impeccable oasis views.
All the branded amenities of Banyan Tree were in place that includes bathrobes, toiletries, slippers, etc. They made a beautiful romantic bed décor to honor our celebrations.
The bathroom has a modern-design that made us more delighted. Adorned with a stunning bathtub and lots of signature toiletries to help ourselves. The whole view of this gorgeous Serenity Club Suite was super photogenic.
The living room was mounted with a massive sofa and comfortable décor. It also featured a writing desk, perfect to create memoirs of the stay. Here I must admire the outstanding customer service that was always prompt in responding to us.
The Afternoon Tea at Altitude Club Lounge
We had our afternoon tea at the Altitude Club Lounge. Sipping in the aromatic tea balanced with soothing flavors and the beautifully styled lounge décor was soothing our eyes and senses. We were given some extra time to enjoy our afternoon tea and food.
The Altitude club lounge has some truly impressive offers. You get mesmerized by the quality of hospitality and food they offer.
The Banyan Tree Spa Experience –a High-end retreat
What could be better than to get relaxed with your spouse in a luxury spa!
We then head to the 60-minute massage at Banyan Tree Spa. Here, we were offered a cold towel to refresh ourselves and ponder over the spa menu. We found the 60-minute massage package really attractive, so we opted for it.
The massage therapist escorted us to a room where I was quite surprised to observe that they have separate rooms assigned for many treatments. We were seated and offered tea while our feet are washed and lightly massaged. At this point, your nerves start to relax already.
We then changed and got into the robes while the therapist got the room ready. Our room was now pleasantly dark and gave an extremely comfortable vibe.
The beds were comfortable. However, what made the experience extremely relaxing was the skilled hands of the massage therapist. She used long strokes and medium pressure with techniques that made us completely calm and relaxed in every bit. 60 minutes later, I was awakened to be told that my treatment is over. 60 minutes passed too soon for this. After changing up, we were then led to the relaxation area where iced tea with chilled tropical fruit was waiting for us.
Romantic Dinner at IL Galante Restaurant
Having a lavish candlelight dinner on your date night is something you should never miss. We did the same. As I mentioned, the property has some outstanding restaurants and food and beverage outlets.
We went to IL Galante, an authentic Italian dining experience that is exactly what we were looking for on our date night.
The romantic dinner offered by IL Galante truly made our day.
There was a special romantic setup exclusive for us. Our table was beautifully decorated with flower petals and mesmerizing aroma twirling around as we seated. The food that came on our table had a special touch to celebrate our presence.
Overall, it was definitely an outstanding dining experience.
The stylish fusion of modern and classic interiors, a refined setting in a simple manner, and quality ingredients used for creating the scrumptious dishes just made us come back again for more.
That night stay at Banyan Tree Doha created the best memories for us! The next day we were offered breakfast in our suite. This whole experience of 24 hours was exceptional. We actually didn’t leave the property for our entire stay due to continuous pleasure and comfort offered during our Romantic Retreat staycation.
