10 Reasons to Visit Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som

As the Middle East’s largest full-immersion wellness destination, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is the first in the world to blend the holistic wisdom of Traditional Arabic Islamic Medicine (TAIM) with modern therapies and health expertise. Zulal offers two distinct yet interconnecting well-being experiences located on the northern coast of Qatar. Serenity is an adult-only paradise designed for immersive well-being journeys. At the same time, Discovery invites guests of all ages, particularly families to enjoy bonding interactive experiences and explore the joys of healthy living as a unit.


Something for everyone: Zulal offers two distinct yet interconnecting experiences. Serenity is exclusively reserved for adult guests, with aesthetics and medical wellness services in addition to holistic therapies, while Discovery welcomes guests of all ages with a focus on family wellness and bonding through fun activities such as outdoor pursuits, arts, crafts, sports and games.

 

A unique blend of ancient and modern wellness wisdom: Zulal is the first resort in the world to blend the ancient practices of Traditional Arabic Islamic Medicine (TAIM) with modern therapies and health expertise. TAIM is a centuries-old holistic healing system that uses medicinal herbs and therapies such as hijama cupping. Zulal’s revival of this knowledge, reinterpreted for the 21st century, is a pioneering approach to wellness.

 

World-class facilities: Zulal Wellness Resort features state-of-the-art facilities, including hydrotherapy pools, saunas, steam rooms, a Himalayan salt therapy room and even a snow cave to cool down in. The physiotherapy facilities include Neurac and Gyrotonic equipment – the only ones in the Middle East region!

 

Beat the heat: Zulal’s coastal location on the northern tip of Qatar means that guests can enjoy temperatures three to four degrees cooler than in Doha, making it the perfect place to escape to and cool down and relax in the summer months.

 

Comprehensive wellness programmes: The resort offers a range of wellness programmes, including detox, weight and stress management, tailored to meet your individual needs. The 64 treatment rooms are sanctuaries within themselves, each dedicated to creating an overall sense of relaxation.

Healthy, organic cuisine: The resort’s five restaurants serve healthy, organic cuisine, using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, to nourish the body and promote sustainable wellness. All food is gluten and dairy-free, so you don’t have to worry about allergies and intolerances.

 

Dedicated children's programme: Zulal Wellness Resort offers a dedicated children’s programme, providing a fun and educational experience for young guests designed for families to explore the joys of healthy living jointly. Our dedicated family wellness advisor is also on hand to give the whole family a health consultation.

 

Sustainable practices: The resort is committed to sustainability, implementing eco-friendly practices and using renewable resources wherever possible. And you can get involved too! Thanks to Zulal’s Mangrove Initiative, you can plant mangroves and give something back to the environment.

 

Complete care: At Zulal, you can find all you need in one place – spa treatments, physiotherapy, nutrition counselling, fitness, aesthetic beauty therapies, recreational activities, wellness talks and workshops – but also an on-site medical team that is always ready for emergencies and medical follow-ups, giving you total peace of mind.

 

Edutainment: Throughout the resort, you’ll find the perfect mix of education and entertainment for guests of all ages. Book lovers can choose between 1,500 books on loan from Qatar National Library, while outdoor aficionados can go on an island walk to learn about the local marine habitat and the Mangrove Initiative benefiting it.

To book this amazing experience, contact your Travel Counsellor today and you’ll benefit from our 24-hour duty office ready to assist you before, during and after your trip.

Thailand has long been a favourite for island escapes, but rather than choosing just one destination, why not experience several? Island hopping through the Gulf of Thailand allows you to discover a different side of the country, where each island has its own personality, from lively beach towns and world-class diving to hidden bays and peaceful luxury retreats.
