Jeremy Armstrong on Banana Island, Qatar

Inside Qatar World Cup resort for footballers and WAGS with £3,500-a-night rooms

David Beckham will be the face of a new multi-million pound Qatar 2022 tourism drive.... with a trip lined up to the five-star resort 'Banana Island'.

The breathtaking sanctuary and spa includes magnificent 'floating rooms' on stilts above the sea. They come with their own infinity pool and villa host to prepare food and cater to your every need.

And the star, nicknamed Goldenballs, will be able to relax on the 'desert island paradise' which gets its name because it bends like one of his famous free kicks.

The Mirror was given a VIP guided tour of Banana Island which will see celebrities, footballers - and their wives - bend it like Beckham at the Arab world's first ever World Cup. It offers £3,500-a-night floating rooms, picturesque beaches, stunning sunset views and even 'Spice Spoons' cooking class - (just in case Posh comes too).
