Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som – claimed to be the world’s first resort to showcase Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) – has begun welcoming guests following a two-and-a-half-year project.
The resort marks the first instance when integrative health resort operator Chiva-Som has embarked on a new management and operating contract since opening its flagship in Hua Hin, Thailand, in 1995.
Zulal offers two distinct paths to achieving wellness goals, the adults-only Zulal Serenity and Zulal Discovery, which invites families to connect and embark on a wellness journey together. A menu of over 400 wellness treatments awaits guests to inspire positive and enduring lifestyle changes.
