Les Vagues by Elie Saab

Les Vagues by Elie Saab is a collection of 39 branded residences across three waterfront buildings in Al-Daayen, Qatar, developed by Dar Global and scheduled for completion at the end of 2027.

# Three Buildings on the Water at Qetaifan Island North

The project sits on Qetaifan Island North, a planned coastal district within the broader Lusail development corridor just north of Doha. The island is laid out as a mixed-use waterfront destination, combining residential towers, branded hotels, beach access and retail promenades within a single master plan. Les Vagues occupies three of those buildings, designated A, B and D, each positioned to face the Arabian Gulf.

At 39 units across three structures, this is a deliberately small development. That scale is a considered choice: it limits the number of residents sharing the building's common areas and reinforces the exclusivity that the Elie Saab name is intended to convey. The architecture follows contemporary seaside lines, with clean facades and a strong orientation toward the water.

# Residences from 913 to Over 4,100 Square Feet

The apartments span one, two and three-bedroom configurations, ranging from approximately 913 square feet to just over 4,122 square feet. Pricing runs from around AED 2.4 million to AED 7.35 million, reflecting the breadth of layouts on offer.

# Interiors and the Elie Saab Design Language

Elie Saab's studio has curated the interiors directly, working in a palette of creams and greys with marble, noble stone, bronze and shiny metal finishes throughout. Floor-to-ceiling windows are standard across the residences, drawing in natural light and framing views of the Gulf and the Doha skyline. The residences are delivered unfurnished, which gives buyers latitude to personalise while the shell and fixed finishes carry the designer's signature.

A notable feature in Les Vagues A is the winter garden, an enclosed transitional space that sits between the interior rooms and the outside air. It is a relatively uncommon detail in Gulf residential projects, and here it does practical work: moderating heat while sustaining a visual and physical connection to the waterfront setting.

# Amenities and Services Within the Development

The building provides a fitness centre, an infinity swimming pool, a landscaped community courtyard with sea views, and luxury retail at ground level. Day-to-day operations are supported by a 24-hour reception desk, à la carte concierge services, four passenger lifts including a dedicated service elevator, and parking allocated to all units. Public areas are furnished and designed by Elie Saab, maintaining the design continuity from the private residences into the shared spaces.

# Position Within the Lusail Corridor

Qetaifan Island North's location within the Lusail district places residents within practical reach of central Doha while sitting apart from its density. Lusail itself is Qatar's most significant urban development project, built to accommodate government, business and leisure functions as the country's population and economy have grown. The island adds a resort dimension to that corridor, with Meryal Waterpark, marina infrastructure, beach clubs and dining venues forming the public offer around the residential towers.

For buyers oriented toward the Gulf rather than Dubai's established freehold market, the proximity to Doha's commercial districts while retaining a coastal setting is the operative appeal.

# Who This Development is Built For

Les Vagues occupies a specific position in the Qatar market: it is the country's first Elie Saab-branded residential project, brought to market by Dar Global, the developer behind a number of high-profile designer collaborations across the Gulf and beyond. For international buyers, the Elie Saab association provides a recognisable quality benchmark, and Dar Global's track record offers a degree of developer confidence.

The buyer profile here is likely someone already familiar with branded residences in Dubai or London who is extending their attention to Qatar, either as a diversification play or because the Lusail waterfront lifestyle is the direct draw. With 39 units, re-sale scarcity is built into the project from the start.
