In a world where wellness trends come and go, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som offers something with lasting depth: a new Body Transformation Retreat that blends time-honoured healing wisdom with today’s most advanced techniques. Located along the serene coastline of northern Qatar, Zulal is the Middle East’s first full-immersion wellness destination—and this new retreat is a testament to its philosophy of meaningful, results-driven wellbeing.
Rooted in Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM), the Body Transformation Retreat is not just about looking better—it’s about feeling more in tune with yourself, inside and out. The goal is to support long-term health and sustainable weight management, rather than quick fixes.
Offered as a 7-night all-inclusive programme, the retreat brings together six thoughtfully designed wellness pillars: Holistic Healing, Aesthetic Enhancements, TAIM-inspired Therapies, Nutrition, Fitness Conditioning, and Physiotherapy Support. Each area complements the other, creating a layered and deeply supportive experience.
The journey begins with Holistic Healing, where ancient therapies like acupuncture and colonic hydrotherapy work to reset the body’s internal systems. These detoxifying treatments are at the heart of TAIM practices, helping guests feel lighter, cleaner, and more balanced from within.
Then come the Aesthetic Enhancements, a suite of advanced, non-invasive treatments that support the body’s natural ability to sculpt and restore itself. These include BodyTiteFX and LPG Endermologie, which improve skin tone, boost circulation, and gently contour the body over time. With three sessions of LPG and carefully selected technologies, the goal here is not dramatic change overnight—but sustainable, visible progress.
What sets this retreat apart is its sincere commitment to TAIM’s healing roots. Guests receive Dry Hijama Cupping and the Al-Batin Abdominal Massage, both of which reflect TAIM’s focus on energy flow, digestive harmony, and spiritual balance. These therapies don’t just work on the body—they touch the mind and emotions too, allowing a deeper kind of renewal.
Nutrition plays a major role in the retreat’s success. At Zulal, meals aren’t simply about calories or portion control—they’re crafted as an extension of healing. Rooted in TAIM principles, the cuisine focuses on balance, natural ingredients, and digestive support. Every guest receives a personal Nutrition Consultation, helping them build habits that last far beyond their stay. Think of it as a masterclass in eating for energy, joy, and longevity.
Movement is another key part of transformation, and the retreat’s Fitness Conditioning component ensures that guests build strength and stamina safely. With a full Body Composition Analysis at the start, the programme includes four Personal Training sessions and three Super Stretch classes. These aren’t bootcamp workouts—they’re personalised, supportive, and designed to help each guest feel stronger and more confident in their own body.
The final pillar, Physiotherapy Support, taps into advanced technology with Infrared Slimming Capsule therapy. Across three sessions, guests benefit from deep-heat treatment that promotes fat metabolism, improves circulation, and supports post-exercise recovery.
Available until 30 September 2025, the Body Transformation Retreat starts at QAR 16,500 per person and includes:
- A 7-night stay in one of Zulal’s serene accommodations
- All listed treatments and consultations

Zulal’s location in Khasooma, away from the noise of the city, only adds to the retreat’s calming impact. Here, in a space designed with both ancient tradition and modern wellness science in mind, transformation is not rushed—it’s supported, nurtured, and personalised.
As Alexandra Audon Filali, Director of Operations, Middle East and Asia, explains:
“This retreat is about creating a lasting shift. Every detail, from the therapies to the nutrition to the quiet moments of rest, has been chosen to help our guests feel more connected to their bodies and more aligned with their wellness goals.”
With its blend of tradition, innovation, and true hospitality, Zulal Wellness Resort’s Body Transformation Retreat offers a rare kind of wellness journey—one that feels personal, empowering, and grounded in cultural heritage. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, guided with care and integrity.
