Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som

The Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som truly epitomises a wellness oasis. Nestled between the sea on one side and the desert on the other, it offers a unique holistic health and wellness concept. Located at the northern tip of Qatar, the resort comprises two areas: the Zulal Serenity Complex (for guests aged 16 and over), caters to adult guests focused on comprehensive health and the rejuvenation of body, mind, and soul. The Zulal Discovery Complex is dedicated to families wishing to embark on a wellness journey with their children. Both areas integrate traditional Arabic-Islamic medicine (TAIM) with a modern holistic health and wellness philosophy.

The resort is located at the northernmost tip of Qatar, nestled between the desert and the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. Far from the hustle and bustle of the cities, the surroundings offer absolute tranquility, pristine nature, and stunning coastal landscapes. Mangrove forests, endless beaches, and the clear air create the perfect backdrop for rejuvenation and mindfulness. The nearby fishing village of Al Ruwais with its small harbour provides authentic insights into traditional culture.

In the Serenity area, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Al-Sidr Restaurant, featuring healthy dishes from around the world, prepared with fresh local ingredients. Families will find a delightful variety at Aizoon in the Discovery area, offering a healthy breakfast and à la carte lunch and dinner - including typical Arabic specialties, international cuisine, and a dedicated children's buffet. Additionally, the venue offers numerous other culinary highlights.
