Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, the immersive wellness sanctuary on Qatar’s secluded Khasooma peninsula, introduces its new Postpartum Recovery Retreat Programme, co-owned and jointly developed with Sidra Medicine. Bringing together clinical expertise and holistic wellness, this thoughtfully curated experience offers new mothers a nurturing space to rest, reconnect and rebuild after childbirth
Available as a three- or five-night stay, the programme combines personalised wellness and nutrition guidance, gentle movement, restorative therapies and nourishing cuisine to support recovery across body, mind and spirit. A Postpartum Meal Plan also further supports new mothers beyond a residential wellness experience
Surrounded by tranquil coastal landscapes, the retreat creates space for mothers to focus on their own wellbeing while feeling supported through the transition into motherhood. Dedicated baby and nursing support provide additional care throughout the stay, complemented by thoughtful comforts that help mothers settle into a peaceful rhythm
A personalised journey of recovery and renewal
Every retreat opens with a series of consultations and assessments: a Postpartum Wellness Consultation, a Nutrition Consultation, a Mini Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) Consultation and a Physical and Postural Assessment. These inform a tailored programme of treatments and activities built around each mother’s individual needs and post-natal goals
The three-night retreat includes two postpartum therapeutic physiotherapy sessions, two relaxing therapies, a rejuvenating facial, a holistic therapy, a pampering treatment, a mindfulness session and a movement session
For mothers seeking a longer restorative stay, the five-night programme builds on these inclusions with additional therapeutic, relaxation and pampering sessions, allowing more time for personalised care, rest and renewal
From private arrival and in-suite check-in to a welcoming TAIM tea ritual and a complimentary daily gentle TAIM foot ritual before bed, each detail is designed to encourage comfort and relaxation. Guests also enjoy three wellness cuisine meals per night of stay, use of the wellness minibar, access to the dedicated wellness centre facilities within Zulal Serenity or Zulal Discovery, and an optional skin facial analysis. Daily laundry service for three items of mothers’ clothing and five items of baby clothing offers added convenience
Continued care with Sidra Medicine
Complementing the wellness experience, mothers can choose to receive onsite clinical care through Sidra Medicine’s postpartum clinical visit programme while staying at Zulal Wellness Resort
Led by experienced midwives, the programme provides routine postnatal care, education and reassurance, covering maternal recovery, breastfeeding, newborn care and emotional wellbeing. It also supports the early identification of concerns during the first weeks after birth
Bringing this care into the resort’s tranquil setting offers mothers greater convenience while supporting continuity of care from trusted clinical experts
Postpartum nourishment
For mothers in Qatar, Zulal’s additional Postpartum Meal Plan service offers personalised nourishment guided by a nutrition consultation. Prepared by the resort’s Wellness Cuisine chefs using fresh, wholesome ingredients, each plan supports recovery, replenishment and energy after childbirth
