Traveling to Zulal Wellness Resort in Doha, I had no idea what to expect. Qatar might not be the first destination that comes to mind for a wellness retreat, yet what I experienced was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and care, with every detail thoughtfully designed to nourish both body and soul.As the creators of one of the world's most celebrated health spas, Chiva-Som, established in Thailand in the 1980s, the team behind Zulal brings decades of expertise to their second wellness retreat. Nestled in the serene landscapes of the Middle East, Zulal Wellness Resort seamlessly combines luxury with holistic healing traditions. The resort’s staff, representing over 30 nationalities - primarily from Asia - bring extensive expertise in Eastern healing practices, including Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM), and the resort's distinctive feature, Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM). These ancient approaches are thoughtfully integrated into programs tailored to stress reduction, detox, fitness, healthy aging, and more.
