Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som

Qatar's dedicated wellness resort at the northern tip of the country, run with Chiva-Som and split between an adults focused retreat and a family side.

Al Ruwais, Qatar · Qatar · Wellness

Zulal sits on the coast at Al Ruwais, roughly an hour and a half north of Doha, far from the city and built entirely around wellness. It operates with Chiva-Som, the Thai wellness group behind the concept. That approach is applied here to a Gulf setting.

The resort is two resorts in practice. Zulal Serenity is designed for guests aged 16 and above with programmes built around rest and treatment. Zulal Discovery focuses on families, so children can take part rather than being kept away.

Retreats draw on modern wellness practice alongside Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine, which gives the programmes a regional character rather than a copy of what you would find elsewhere.
