As summer draws to a close and the busy months ahead loom, prioritizing health and wellness becomes paramount. Recognizing the modern challenges of stress and burnout, Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, the Middle East’s largest and first full-immersion wellness destination, presents the Stress Reset and Burnout Recovery Retreat. This comprehensive retreat offers a holistic approach to stress management, designed to help guests alleviate stress and fatigue while promoting sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term well-being.
Rooted in the core principles of Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM), the retreat provides a personalized journey tailored to individual needs. Choose from three, five, or seven-night programs, each incorporating a blend of traditional wellness practices and modern therapies. The integrated approach includes consultations with a Health and Wellness Advisor, daily massages to relax the body and mind, yoga and pranayama breathing exercises to balance the parasympathetic nervous system, and soothing facial-enhancement bio-cellulose masks to revitalize stress-affected skin.
Further enhancing the holistic experience, the retreat incorporates traditional Arabic stomach massage (Al-Batin) to relieve tension and energy blockages, and Watsu hydrotherapy to ease mental and emotional strain and improve sleep quality. Recognizing the vital role of nutrition in managing stress, Zulal Wellness Resort provides wellness cuisine crafted from fresh, organic ingredients. These deeply nourishing meals are low in salt, sugar, and unhealthy seasonings. Herbal supplements may also be recommended to support digestion, reduce anxiety, enhance sleep quality, and combat burnout.
Holger Glasser, General Manager of Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, emphasizes the significance of proactive stress management: “The pressure that people experience in their day-to-day lives can be so overwhelming that it is no surprise stress and burnout is on the rise. We know that the long-term effect of stress can lead to chronic illnesses and we have created this retreat to support our guests who choose to take a proactive approach towards stress and burnout so they can fulfil their emotional health and wellbeing.”
Starting at 2,200 per night, the Stress Reset and Burnout Recovery retreat offers a rejuvenating escape before the busy season begins. Guests can choose from a three-night stay, a five-night stay, or extend their escape with a seven-night stay at the price of five nights. This includes access to a wide range of health and wellness facilities, including separate male and female hydrothermal areas, saunas, steam rooms, arctic caves, pools, gymnasiums, sound-healing sessions, and group fitness classes. Zulal Wellness Resort encourages guests to embrace positive lifestyle changes and embark on a transformative journey towards long-lasting well-being.
