Qatar has emerged as a premier destination for spa and wellness tourism due to its luxurious and innovative approach to health and relaxation. Known for its world-class facilities, many spas are situated within five-star hotels and resorts, offering a blend of cutting-edge treatments and state-of-the-art amenities such as hydrotherapy pools, hammams, saunas, steam rooms, and relaxation lounges. Spas in Qatar often integrate holistic health practices, combining traditional healing methods with modern therapies.

Why Visit Qatar for a health and wellbeing holiday? 

A standout feature is the TAIM (Traditional Arabic & Islamic Medicine) approach, which integrates ancient healing practices with modern wellness philosophies. You can experience traditional remedies using local herbs and oils, enhancing the cultural richness of the spa experience. The presence of highly trained staff and the attraction of renowned therapists and specialists from around the globe ensure high-quality service and expertise in various wellness disciplines. Indulge in pampering treatments against the backdrop of serene desert landscapes and coastal beauty, further enhancing the relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Qatar's warm climate (ideal for escaping Europe's cold winters), well-developed infrastructure, and global connectivity solidify its position as a top choice for international wellness travelers. The warm Qatari hospitality and welcoming atmosphere add to the overall experience, making it a unique destination for anyone seeking relaxation, rejuvenation, and a taste of Arabian luxury.

Holistic approach: Traditional Arabic & Islamic Medicine (TAIM)

Similar to other ancient civilizations, the Arabic world developed a centuries-old healing tradition known as Traditional Arabic & Islamic Medicine (TAIM). Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is the world’s first modern wellness resort based on TAIM. In March 2022, it opened its doors to offer the world the benefits of TAIM. Notably, TAIM was the first medical tradition to introduce the concept of an immune system, viewing it as the body's supreme planner. Interestingly, many Western medicines contain medicinal herbs that Arabs have used in their pure, natural form for centuries. "The Canon of Medicine" (1025), written by Persian physician and philosopher Ibn Sina (Avicenna), is a highly influential ancient text. TAIM is based on this work, which remained the standard medical reference in Europe until the 18th century. Our relatively young Western medicine owes much to TAIM, although the approaches differ significantly. TAIM employs a holistic approach to healing, integrating spirituality with regional medicine across five pillars: medicinal herbs, nutrition, body and mind therapy, spiritual healing, and applied therapies. While the term 'Islamic' might suggest a strong religious component in TAIM programs at Zulal, the resort clarifies that it is more about lifestyle than religion. Spirituality, they say, is a universal concept, whether it involves meditation, connecting with nature, yoga, or a relaxing massage. Guests are encouraged to find their own spiritual paths.
