Past Tradition Meets Future HEALTH
Tell us a bit about your foray in the wellness hospitality industry. How did that come about?

Before joining Chiva-Som and embarking on the adventure of opening the first holistic health and wellness resort in Qatar, Zulal Wellness Resort, I have worked with an array of global brands, such as Kempinski, Nikki Beach and Shangri-La. My first steps into wellness were with Shangri-La, where I worked on the opening of the first 10.000m2 spa village, bringing a wellness-focused aspect to the famous luxury brand.

During that period, I discovered Chiva-Som’s brand and my passion for health and wellness has grown ever since, not only professionally but also personally. I have been leading an active lifestyle for quite a while, but over the years developed lower back problems that forced me to look at wellness more seriously.

I am a firm believer that health is wealth and working in the industry has been a blessing for me. Spreading Chiva-Som’s excellence and knowledge and making health and wellness a way of life rather than just a trend, is extremely fulfilling.

What is the vision you’re leading at Zulal Wellness Resort?
