About Zulal Wellness Resort

Tucked away in the Arabian Gulf, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is the first wellness resort in the Middle East to offer an immersive well-being experience that caters to the specific needs of anyone wanting to revive their mind, body and spirit. Every element of the guests’ experience ties in with Zulal Wellness Resort’s holistic approach to wellness, a foundation of local traditions and legend- ary Arabian hospitality, infused with a cosmopolitan outlook. The result is unlike anything else – an oasis in the desert welcoming visitors from near and far, a home away from home where you leave feeling like the best version of yourself.

The wellness philosophy is founded on the six pillars of health – fitness, physiotherapy, spa, holistic health, aesthetic beauty and nutrition with a unique concept of blending the holistic wisdom of Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) with a holistic health and wellbeing philosophy for those who want to rejuvenate themselves and take a break from the hustle of bustle of life. Serving as the foundations of each retreat, these pillars are supported by a tranquil environment, first-class service, state-of-the-art facilities, and expertly trained wellness consultants.

Traditonal Arabic and Islamic Medicine

Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) is a holistic healing system recorded in The Canon of Medicine, a medical encyclopaedia written one thousand years ago in 1025 by the Persian physician-philosopher Ibn Sina, whose writings influenced schools of medicine for centuries. The Canon of Medicine emphasises restoration and life balance through the pillars of physical movement and recovery, mindful practices, diet, optimal digestive function, and adequate rest.
 

TAIM includes the use of medicinal herbs, and therapies such as Al-Ras head and face massage, Hijama cupping, Al Qadam foot massage, Tadleek full body massage. The revival of this knowledge, reinterpreted for the 21st century, is a pioneering approach to reclaiming cultural heritage and redefining wellness.
