Three new retreats, designed specifically for families to help them achieve their wellness goals, have been introduced at Discovery by Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som.
The new retreats – Fit for Life (Fit4Life), Thrive with Confidence, and Digital Detox – each focus on a unique aspect of wellness, with a tailored approach to tackle and overcome everyday habits that limit us from achieving our utmost potential. The retreats include an abundance of activities including fitness workouts, storytelling, meditation and engaging workshops, all combined with wholesome cuisine options, and downtime to enjoy the plethora of wellness facilities available at Zulal Discovery.
The Discovery experience at Zulal Wellness Resort strives to encourage families to explore a range of treatments, therapies, and activities aimed at enhancing family bonding and individual health. Discovery’s team of experts – consisting of doctors, wellness professionals, and child development specialists – has studied the social trends, actions and needs of young children, to specially curate these three new retreats. The retreats are designed not only to address the physical wellbeing of younger guests but also to nurture their emotional and mental health in a supportive, fun environment.
“As the world becomes increasingly fast-paced and digital, we’ve noticed the growing need for children to reconnect with the basics of discovery, play, and wellbeing,” said Ammar Samad, the General Manager at Zulal Wellness Resort.
“These retreats are designed to provide families with a unique opportunity to nurture their children’s physical, emotional, and mental health, all within a holistic, supportive environment. At Zulal, we believe in a balanced approach to wellness, and our new retreats aim to give children the tools to develop healthy habits for life, alongside their families.”
As the largest and most immersive wellness destination in the Middle East, Zulal Wellness Resort offers expert-led programmes, nourishing cuisine inspired by local and global flavours, and personalised consultations to guide every family member on their individual wellness journey.
