Zoya Health Resort became the first-of-its-kind five-star wellness retreat in the Middle East when it opened its doors in April 2022. Located in Ajman’s prestigious Al Zorah neighbourhood, overlooking the golf course and mangroves, guests at the resort can experience a wide range of bespoke retreat programs to improve their wellbeing.
The 61-room resort is owned and founded by Saudi National Ameer Said. It is operated by Premedion, a German spa consultancy and management company founded in 2005 as a subsidiary of the hospitality investment company Deutsche Seereederei GmbH. Having managed high-end spas and health centres worldwide in countries including Egypt, Oman, China and Qatar, Premedion works in partnership with Ameer Said and his team.
Ameer Said, commenting on the reason for opening Zoya Health Resort, said: “Zoya Wellbeing was born out of a determination to address the ailments of the modern world, to be preventative rather than curative, to help our guests lead healthier lifestyles without the need for medication and assistance, to create a special space that protects, nourishes and invigorates mind, body and soul.”
Client Assessment
With the guidance and expertise of medical and health professionals, each retreat programme is customised to the specific needs and lifestyle of each guest. This means the venue’s experienced doctors, wellness specialists and nutritionists conducting a full assessment before creating a personalised agenda.
This assessment includes a doctor’s consultation, who will perform a series of diagnostic tests as well as a wellness consultation and a nutrition plan. The objective is to ensure that the best possible results can be achieved during the guest’s stay as well as equip them with the knowledge and best practise to lead a healthy lifestyle after leaving the retreat.
Programmes Offered
Guests can choose from nine retreat programmes including Wellcation, Immune Support, Detox, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Weight Management, Liver Support, Rejuvenation, Get Fit and Anti-Aging. These tailored programmes, which combine multiple treatments into a holistic integrative journey, vary from three to fourteen nights with access to state-of-the-art facilities across the resort as well as a selection of leisure activities.
Zoya Health Resort also offers a variety of wellbeing treatments that focus on the organisation’s three main pillars – Prevention & Rehabilitation, Fitness and Recreation & Pampering.
“Our methods are integrative and holistic, with a range of treatments coming together to create customized wellbeing journeys,” says Ameer Said. “Detoxing and therapeutic fasting is central to what we offer, combined with physiotherapy, aesthetic medicine, and the right nutrition to boost vitality.”
Accommodation
As part of its facilities, the Resort has 61 rooms with guests able to choose from superior, deluxe and premium room options as well as the Royal Suite which includes its very own in-room sauna and steam facilities, as well as a private Turkish Hamam.
“All of our programmes are delivered to provide our guests with the ultimate peace of mind during their stay,” explains Ameer Said. “All of the rooms feature stunning views of the natural preserved mangrove lake and golf course which will help to make their visit even more memorable as they embark on a journey of rest, relaxation and better health.”
