Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som in detail
Hotel
Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is, quite literally, an oasis of wellbeing. With the sea on one side and the desert on the other, it offers a distinctive holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Located at the northern tip of Qatar, the resort comprises two areas: the Zulal Serenity complex (for guests aged 16 and over), designed for adults seeking to focus on their health and the restoration of body, mind and soul. The Zulal Discovery complex is dedicated to families wishing to enjoy a wellness journey together with their children. Both areas combine traditional Arabic and Islamic medicine (TAIM) with a modern, holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
Location & Surroundings
The resort is set at the northernmost tip of Qatar, between the desert and the turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf. Far from the bustle of the cities, its surroundings offer complete tranquillity, unspoilt nature and breathtaking coastal scenery. Mangrove forests, endless beaches and clear air create the perfect setting for restoration and mindfulness. The nearby fishing village of Al Ruwais, with its small harbour, offers an authentic glimpse of traditional culture.
Food & Drink
In the Serenity area, guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at Al-Sidr, with healthy dishes from around the world prepared using fresh local produce. Families are welcomed at Aizoon in the Discovery area, where a varied menu includes a healthy breakfast, à la carte lunch and dinner, traditional Arab specialities, international cuisine and a dedicated children’s buffet. The resort also offers a host of other culinary highlights.
The entire culinary concept follows the philosophy of TAIM: nutrition as the key to a healthy, fulfilling life. Discover traditional superfoods such as olive oil, figs, camel milk, sumac, honey and dates — all without refined sugar, and available lactose- and gluten-free on request. Creatively crafted menus featuring fresh organic ingredients are not only mindful of calories, but also support vitality, energy and enjoyment of life. Whether you are looking to support digestive health, heart health or mental clarity, healthy cuisine becomes a truly pleasurable experience.
Wellness & Spa
The Serenity Wellness-Center, with indoor and outdoor pools, a Watsu pool, experience showers, sauna area (sauna, salt cave, steam room, hammam, women’s sauna and plunge pool), relaxation areas, 64 treatment rooms and a fitness centre, offers everything you need for a restorative stay. There is a dedicated area for women and another for men. At the Discovery Wellness-Center, with an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna and steam room, age-appropriate activities help children discover the value of a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. Wellness programmes for children are tailored to different age groups, with separate programmes for parents. Outdoor Lagoon pool.
Health & Cures
Traditional Arabic and Islamic medicine (TAIM) is an ancient philosophy of life. Its origins can be traced to the Canon of Medicine, written in 1025 by the physician and philosopher Ibn Sina, also known as Avicenna.
