The name “Zulal” refers to “purified water,” and is inspired by “a people’s historic journey across land to the sea and the ever-present search for<br />
water, the seed of life – a concept that encapsulates the history, culture and heritage of Qatar.” Zulal Wellness Resort will offer the highest service<br />
standards rooted in traditional Qatari hospitality.<br />
<strong>Spa</strong>nning 280,000 square metres, Zulal will offer a menu of Arabic and Mediterranean wellness cuisine in a setting inspired by local heritage. The<br />
site will feature a Family Wellness Resort with 120 guestrooms and suites, welcoming guests of all ages, offering dedicated children’s activities, and<br />
promoting family bonding through shared experiences. An adjacent 60-suite and villa resort will cater to guests over the age of 16. The setting will<br />
feature ponds and water features around serene walled gardens, and a media release promises “fully integrated holistic programmes alongside<br />
state-of-the-art international treatments.”<br />
Chairman and CEO of Chiva-Som International Health Resort, Mr. Krip Rojanastien, said in the release, “We are delighted to announce the opening<br />
of this project, on which we’ve been collaborating with Msheireb Properties. This is the first time we have embarked on a management and<br />
operating contract since the opening of our resort in Hua Hin in 1995. We are excited and proud to have created something completely new with<br />
Zulal Wellness Resort, which is the first in the world to showcase Traditional Arabic Integrative Medicine (TAIM), whilst retaining the Chiva-Som DNA<br />
at every touchpoint. The ability to serve families in particular offers guests great flexibility, and we hope it will inspire wellness for a new generation.”<br />
Ali Al Kuwari, Acting CEO of Msheireb Properties, is quoted as saying: “We are very excited to collaborate with Chiva-Som to operate Zulal Wellness<br />
Resort. Our mission as a national real estate developer is to build communities and developments that enrich and enhance the way people live,<br />
work and thrive, while remaining true to our Qatari and Arabic cultural heritage. This partnership with Chiva-Som enables us to provide the best in<br />
ancient Arabic medicine, not just Qatar, but in the entire region. Zulal Wellness Resort will no doubt contribute to the growth of wellness tourism in<br />
the country.”<br />
The resort will adhere to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and use locally developed products.<br />
