About this audio guide
This guide to Banana Island Resort Doha by Anantara follows the resort's one unbending rule: every one of its six restaurants operates entirely alcohol free, out of respect for local custom. It traces how chefs at Ted's, Riva and Al Nahham built menus strong enough to carry an evening without a drink in sight, and how the island itself was reclaimed from roughly twenty hectares of Gulf seabed. Catch the catamaran crossing from the mainland before the sun gets high.
