Chiva-Som International Health Resorts<\/strong>, a global leader in transformative wellness, proudly announces the appointment of Ammar Samad as General Manager of Qatar’s Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som. With over two decades in the hospitality industry, Samad brings a rich blend of experience, leadership, and a deep commitment to wellness, enhancing Zulal\u2019s vision of providing holistic well-being and exceptional guest experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his distinguished career, Samad has been recognized for his dedication to excellence. As he takes on the role of General Manager at Zulal Wellness Resort, he is set to elevate the resort\u2019s standing as a premier destination for holistic wellness. In previous roles, Samad skillfully managed all facets of operations, consistently delivering top-tier guest experiences and optimizing business performance. He has also successfully overseen the launch and management of properties within some of Doha\u2019s renowned hotel groups, with particular expertise in spa and recreation facilities, which has cemented his influence within both hospitality and wellness sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having grown up in the United States, Samad brings an international perspective to hospitality. He holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration and marketing from La Roche College and pursued further studies at Georgetown University. With a commitment to lifelong learning, he continues to enhance his diverse skill set in areas like project management, quality assurance, financial strategy, team leadership, and executive management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samad\u2019s decision to join Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is deeply rooted in his personal commitment to wellness, which he seamlessly integrates into his daily life. His reasoning goes beyond professional alignment; it\u2019s about values that resonate with his own beliefs.\u00a0\u201cWellness is more than a professional focus for me; it\u2019s a lifestyle,\u201d\u00a0Samad shares. He was particularly drawn to Chiva-Som\u2019s core values: putting people first\u2014both guests and employees\u2014and embracing wellness as a shared commitment, not just a tagline.\u00a0\u201cI truly believe that wellness practices can transform lives, and I am honoured to be part of\u00a0Chiva-Som\u2019s mission to share this philosophy with guests from around the world,\u201d\u00a0Samad says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samad\u2019s conviction that wellness is essential to true wellbeing shapes his leadership philosophy, resonating deeply with the resort\u2019s holistic offerings, which seamlessly blend Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM) with modern health approaches. He holds a strong appreciation for the brand\u2019s dedication to supporting both hospitality and community welfare, particularly through Zulal Wellness Resort\u2019s mission that aligns with Qatar\u2019s national emphasis on wellness and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samad\u2019s own wellness journey began after he recognized that his previous work-focused lifestyle was impacting his physical and mental health. Realizing the need for a balanced approach, he redirected his focus to incorporate movement, rest, recovery, and a nutritious diet into his daily routine. The positive changes in his energy, mood, physical vitality, and mental clarity were immediate and transformative. This personal experience not only drives his leadership style but also aligns seamlessly with the resort\u2019s comprehensive wellness offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som stands as the Middle East\u2019s premier wellness destination, renowned for its distinctive approach that fuses sustainable wellness practices with rich Qatari heritage. With Samad at the helm, the resort is committed to advancing its mission of enhancing guests’ wellbeing, providing a sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, and an escape from the demands of daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
