Encouraging guests to leave behind the stresses of life and embrace the New Year on a meaningful journey towards wellbeing, the Middle East’s largest and first full-immersion wellness destination, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, has introduced its re-imagined ‘New Year, New You’ retreat – a transformative experience that transcends the ordinary, and explores rejuvenation in a tranquil setting, where ancient wellness traditions blend seamlessly with modern luxury.
Available for three and five-night duration for a limited time only from December 2023 until the end of January 2024, the ‘New You’ retreat has been carefully curated around a blend of invigorating and calming activities, mental unwinding with holistic therapies, physical therapies, and bespoke nutritional guidance to inspire change.
Key highlights of the ‘New You’ retreat include:

- Aquatic Therapy (Watsu): A passive, deeply nurturing therapy in a special pool with lukewarm water to support and massage away muscle tension.
- Gyrotonic® Therapy: Offers complete freedom of movement, while providing a safe and effective way to enhance spinal mobility, muscle tone, and total body balance.
- Signature Full Body Tadleek: Enhances blood and lymphatic flow while supporting muscle tone, skin texture, and total relaxation.
