The world’s most extensive Traditional Arabic & Islamic Medicine and the first family wellness offering in Qatar
Chiva-Som, a global leader in wellness and lifestyle transformation, is thrilled to announce the formal launch of Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som on March 29, 2022.
Zulal Wellness Resort is Qatar’s largest wellness resort, including the world’s first contemporary display of Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM). Zulal Serenity, which caters to adults, and Zulal Discovery, which welcomes families to connect and embark on a health journey together, are both available at the resort.
Chiva-Som, a worldwide renowned pioneer in health and lifestyle change with 26 years of expertise honed at its flagship resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, manages the resort. Msheireb Properties, Qatar’s foremost master developers, have created Zulal, the first full-immersion spa resort in Qatar and the biggest in the Middle East.
The Canon of Medicine, published by physician-philosopher Ibn Sina (commonly known as Avicenna) in 1025, is the source of traditional Arabic and Islamic medicine. In its modern form, TAIM is a collection of treatments and programmes aimed at supporting health in the twenty-first century, with an emphasis on restoring life balance through herbal medicines, spiritual therapies, dietary, and mind-body practices, distilled from over a millennium of evidence-based wellness practices.
Nutrition, Fitness, Spa, Physiotherapy, Holistic Health, and Aesthetics are the six pillars of the Zulal health experience. TAIM is absorbed into each, restoring maximum health to the body, mind, and soul in a long-term way.
There are two separate routes to achieve wellness goals at Zulal Wellness Resort: Zulal Serenity and Zulal Discovery.
The adults-only Zulal Serenity portion of the resort is for visitors aged 16 and over, with 60 rooms and suites providing a soothing backdrop to personalised health experiences.
Adults can choose from seven different programmes that cater to their specific health requirements, such as relaxation, detox, weight loss, or exercise. Thermal and hydrotherapy suites, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, spa rooms, a well-equipped gymnasium, training studios, a state-of-the-art physiotherapy studio, and an anaesthetics centre are among the extensive wellness amenities.
With programmes tailored for multi-generations and specific age groups, Zulal Discovery caters to visitors looking for family experiences and to make wellness an intrinsic part of the family relationship. To bring families together, facilities have been built by child and family professionals. There are 120 rooms and suites available in various configurations.
Eng. Nasser Matar Al Kawari, CEO of Msheireb Properties, says, “We are pleased to be launching Zulal Wellness Resort and partnering with the internationally renowned Chiva-Som. Zulal Wellness Resort will be a leading destination in Qatar, welcoming guests from across the globe who are passionate about their health and wellbeing. It is our aim to become the destination of choice for TAIM therapies, which are deeply rooted in Qatari and wider Arab culture”.
Guests at Zulal Wellness Resort participate in wellness retreats that are tailored to their specific health requirements and lifestyle goals. Accommodation, all meals, a health and wellness consultation, daily treatments, and unrestricted access to wellness facilities and group activities are all included in all wellness retreats.
Guests may entirely unplug and organically re-energize thanks to a digital-detox policy in public places, the immensity of the desert around them, and the ocean visible from every accommodation.
Mr. Krip Rojanastien, Chairman and CEO of Chiva-Som, says, “We are delighted to partner with Msheireb Properties in managing this groundbreaking new resort in Qatar. At Chiva-Som, we believe in a holistic approach to wellness, drawing on the indigenous traditions of each destination. Zulal Wellness Resort continues Chiva-Som’s journey of pioneering and sustainable development, bringing a contemporary take on ancient wellness practices and incorporating them into the over 400 wellness treatments we offer at the resort for complete wellbeing and life transformation”.
Family programmes emphasise family wellness by teaching children the importance of living a healthy and sustainable lifestyle via age-appropriate developmental activities.
Older children spend their time being active, with kayaking, dancing, and personal training, while younger children are encouraged to explore through nature-based activities, arts and crafts. They will be exposed to meditation and nutritious meals while balancing the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of wellbeing. There are four retreats for children and more for parents and grandparents, split by age groups.
Mr. Daniele Vastolo, General Manager of Zulal Wellness Resort, adds, “We look forward to welcoming guests to such a unique experience in the Middle East. While rooted in tradition, Zulal Wellness Resort is thoroughly modern in its results-oriented wellness offering, and we cater to guests’ needs with a beautiful setting, expert consultants, and recognition of the holistic connection between body, mind and spirit”.
Chiva-Som is known for its healthy culinary innovation and presentation, and Zulal Wellness Resort will have high-end Arabian, Mediterranean, and fine dining restaurants as part of the holistic wellness experience. The menus are made using excellent natural ingredients and are personalised, healthful, and offer halal and vegan options.
With the aid of expert nutrition advisers, guests may embark on a transforming gastronomic adventure that can be continued even after they return home. There are specific children’s menus at Zulal Discovery to foster a healthy approach to food from a young age.
Cooking courses with Zulal chef are a fun way to learn how to prepare nutritious cuisine at home and stay healthy in everyday life.
