Why it's holistic
- Zulal's premise is that health has a home tradition.
- The resort says Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine recognises individual humour types as the foundation of personal health, and its FAQ describes combining traditional practices with nutrition, mind-body therapies, movement, herbal medicine, rest and time in nature.
- The six pillars give that idea a structure, and the two areas keep adult retreats and family stays apart.
- In Zulal Discovery a Family Consultation begins the stay, and schedules are built to suit each family member.
About
Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som sits at the northern tip of Qatar, near the fishing town of Al Ruwais, on 28 hectares between the desert and the Arabian Gulf. It was developed with Thailand's Chiva-Som and bases its philosophy on Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine, drawing on Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine from 1025. Programmes, treatments and activities are organised around six pillars: physiotherapy, nutrition, holistic health, fitness, spa and aesthetics. Treatments include hijama, a form of cupping, in dry, wet and fire versions, alongside yoga, acupuncture, Ayurveda, hydrotherapy and Watsu. The resort has two areas: Zulal Serenity for adults aged 16 and over, and Zulal Discovery for families, with joint and separate adult and child treatments and activities.
