Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som to Open in Qatar in March 2022

Chiva-Som, the global wellness pioneer has recently confirmed the formal launch of Chiva-Zulal Som's Wellness Resort on 29 March 2022. Zulal Wellness Resort is Qatar's biggest wellness resort, and is home to the world's first modern exhibition of Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM). Zulal provides two separate routes to wellness: the adults-only Zulal Serenity and the family-friendly Zulal Discovery.

Chiva-Som, a globally acknowledged pioneer in lifestyle change with 26 years of expertise at its flagship resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, manages Zulal Wellness Resort. Zulal, Qatar's first and biggest full-immersion health resort, was brought to reality by Msheireb Properties, Qatar's foremost master developer.

Derived from Ibn Sina's (also known as Avicenna) 1025 Canon of Medicine, TAIM distils millennia of evidence-based wellness practises into a spectrum of therapies and programmes focused at promoting health in the twenty-first century. The focus is on reestablishing equilibrium in one's life via herbal medications, spiritual treatments, nutritional and mind-body activities. Zulal's wellness philosophy is founded on six pillars: nutrition, fitness, spa, physical therapy, holistic health, and aesthetics. Each pillar incorporates TAIM, in addition to restoring body, mind, and spirit to optimal health in a sustainable way.

The adults-only Zulal Serenity resort includes 60 rooms and suites that provide a tranquil setting for personal health journeys. Guests may pick from seven different programmes, each geared to their unique health requirements, including relaxation, detox, weight management, and exercise. Additionally, extensive wellness amenities include thermal and hydrotherapy suites; indoor and outdoor swimming pools; spa suites; a well-equipped gymnasium and workout studios; a cutting-edge physiotherapy studio; and an aesthetics centre.

Zulal Discovery caters to visitors seeking family experiences and strives to integrate health into the family connection via programmes tailored to multigenerational families and particular age groups. The facilities have been created by child and family professionals to bring families together, while the 120 rooms and suites allow a variety of configurations. The programmes emphasise the importance of a healthy and sustainable lifestyle via age-appropriate developmental activities. While younger children are encouraged to explore via nature-based activities and arts and crafts, older youngsters engage in physical activities such as kayaking, dance, and personal training. They will also be taught to meditation and nutritious meals while balancing the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of wellbeing.

All individualised wellness retreats include lodging, food, a wellness consultation, daily treatments, and unrestricted access to wellness facilities and group activities. With a digital detox policy in public areas, the immensity of the desert surrounding, and the ocean visible from every accommodation, visitors may completely unplug and re-energise organically.

As part of the holistic healing experience at Zulal Wellness Resort, visitors may dine at a variety of restaurants, including those serving Arabian, Mediterranean, and fine dining fare. Menus are designed on a custom basis, are healthful, and offer halal and vegan options made with superior natural ingredients. Guests are assured a transforming gastronomic trip that, with the assistance of specialised nutritionists, may be maintained even after they return home. At Zulal Discovery, children's meals are provided to promote a healthy relationship with food from an early age. Cooking courses are a fun way to learn how to prepare nutritious meals at home with Zulal's chef in order to maintain daily wellness.
