Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas Fountain

This image was taken inside the area of the private villas of the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas property. Once you enter the hotel, the villas will be located on the left side of the property. You must be staying at one of the villas to access this area. If you're coming from Doha, the drive will be about an hour and a half until you reach the hotel. The property is also connected to the Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park. The hotel is not open to the public, so if you're not a guest, please call beforehand and ask permission to access the property.

You can photograph this villa view of the architecture at the Hilton Salwa Beach Resort & Villas during any month of the year.

As the late afternoon transitions into sunset, you'll have the best lighting conditions for photographing long shadows.

I recommend bringing along a lens you're most comfortable with for shooting architecture. For me, it's a 24-70mm lens because of its versatility.

At this location, in particular, it's important not to shoot too wide or you could run the risk of distorting the lines from the buildings.

Try to use the light from the afternoon sun to create natural contrasts in your frame.

A model will give more of a lifestyle vibes to your photo. If that's what you're going for, bring a friend with you and have them stand in the shot.

Reap all the benefits of the five-star experience at the hotel! You can unwind at the Eforea spa with a massage, skin treatment or luxurious bath. Afterward, indulge your senses in a delicious meal at one of the eateries on the property—there are a few, like Dante Cucina Italiana or Levantine, which serves Middle Eastern dishes.
