Nestled along the serene shores of northern Qatar, just a short drive from the vibrant city of Doha, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is a pioneering wellness destination that blends Traditional Arabic Medicine and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) with a holistic Thai approach. Established by Chiva-Som, the internationally acclaimed wellness resort in Thailand, Zulal’s mission is to empower guests to achieve a harmonious balance of mind, body, and spirit.
The resort provides two distinct offerings: Zulal Serenity is dedicated to adult guests seeking an immersive health and lifestyle reset, while Zulal Discovery invites families to connect and embark on a wellness journey together. Both Serenity and Discovery guests can choose from a selection of rooms that offer stunning views, cool interiors and the soothing sound of water to set you on the path to wellbeing. The experience is completed by the comprehensive Zulal Wellness Resort offering, which can address every aspect of your mind and body, from personalised fitness to holistic wellbeing, family bonding activities and programmes to enhance child development.
Set within a vast landscape of unspoiled natural beauty, Zulal Wellness Resort combines world-class amenities with authentic cultural experiences, offering a setting that’s as restorative as its innovative programmes.
The Spa
Zulal Spa
An outdoor pool, private Watsu pool and separate male and female plunge pools complement a unique, man-made lagoon that flows through the Discovery area of the resort. An extensive hydrothermal suite includes saunas and steam rooms, and a total of 64 treatment rooms are used to deliver bespoke rituals. Group and private fitness studios offer yoga and Pilates classes, while a mixed gym is fitted out with the latest Kinesis equipment.
The Taste of Zulal programme is perfect for first-time guests, delivering a wide range of treatments to aid relaxation and embark on lifestyle changes to improve your wellbeing. Delving deeper, Mind Body Wellness retreats begin with a health consultation before a programme of treatments and activities is devised to suit your every need. These can include everything from invigorating massages and cupping to pranayama sessions, reflexology or reiki.
A menu of aesthetic treatments available on the Serenity Beauty pathway includes high-tech and high-touch options, while the Sustainable Weight loss & Management retreat focuses on the foundations of a healthy lifestyle for long-term weight management. Those looking to boost their physical wellbeing and performance can choose an ActiveFit retreat that encompasses body composition analysis, personal training sessions focused on different parts of the body, and deluxe massage treatments to aid recovery.
Zulal Discovery offers bespoke family wellness programmes that seamlessly blend quality family time with individual self-care. Each programme is thoughtfully crafted to inspire relaxation, strengthen family bonds, and promote rejuvenation, all tailored by the resort’s skilled counsellors to meet the unique needs of every family member. For children aged 9 to 15 years old, the resort presents three transformative retreats: Fit 4 Life, designed to foster physical activity and healthy habits, alongside physical and mental endurance; Thrive, focusing on building emotional and social awareness, resilience, goal achieving and nurturing emotional intelligence; and Digital Detox, encouraging mindful disconnection to cultivate healthier relationships with technology. These retreats provide meaningful opportunities for personal childhood growth while promoting overall family wellness.
