Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is the GCC region’s largest holistic wellness resort and the world’s first contemporary showcase of Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM). This distinctive wellness experience is offered at premium international standards and is inclusive of local family values.
Located in Khasooma, a secluded coastal location in northern Qatar, this unique well-being haven was brought to life by Qatar’s premier master developer, Msheireb Properties in collaboration with the Thai wellness specialist Chiva-Som. The resort’s team of wellness experts have incorporated the principles of TAIM – the foundation on which modern Western medicine was built – into over 400 wellness treatments offered at the resort.
‘Zulal’ is an Arabic word meaning ‘pure natural water,’ and the unique architecture of the resort draws heavily from the principle of biophilic design. This approach seeks to strengthen guests’ connection to nature by incorporating natural materials and elements of the coastal desert setting into indoor spaces.
Likewise, The tranquil pathways of Zulal Wellness Resort are engraved with Sidr Leaf trees creating a calming environment for guests to enjoy. The salubrious effects of the natural world are known to reduce stress, blood pressure levels and heart rates, whilst increasing creativity and overall wellbeing.
The resort offers two venues for health and wellbeing. At Zulal Serenity, adults can access a wide range of therapeutic and lifestyle enhancement treatments based on TAIM wellness principles. Meanwhile, Zulal Discovery enables families to enjoy positive wellness experiences together. It is designed to inspire young children and their parents with fun, interactive activities that encourage a healthy lifestyle for all family members.
Zulal Wellness and Chiva-Som both have a commitment to sustainability as a core principle. Therefore, Zulal Wellness Resort aims to operate sustainably and adheres to environmentally friendly practices. These include minimising the use of plastics, utilising organic produce and locally developed speciality products, energy conservation and the implementation of water preservation technologies.
Furthermore, the resort’s commitment to the preservation and afforestation of mangrove environments, along with an array of other green initiatives, is part of its sustainability mission. This is also aligned with Qatar’s Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals of 2030.
