Jayasom Wellness Resort to open flagship retreat at AMAALA

Jayasom Wellness Resort has confirmed plans to open its flagship property at AMAALA, the large-scale wellness and culture destination under development on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. Scheduled to open later this year, the resort will introduce the brand’s integrative approach to wellbeing within AMAALA’s Triple Bay, combining evidence-based medicine with holistic and regionally rooted healing practices.

Developed as both an adults-focused retreat and a family-oriented wellness destination, Jayasom Wellness Resort will form part of AMAALA’s wider vision to establish the Red Sea coast as a global centre for health, arts and regenerative travel. The property will be located within a protected natural setting, with direct access to the coastline and surrounding desert landscape.

A flagship wellness concept rooted in integration

At its core, Jayasom Wellness Resort is structured around tailored wellness journeys designed to address physical, emotional and mental health through multidisciplinary assessment. Programmes will combine Western medical diagnostics with holistic therapies, creating personalised plans that extend beyond the duration of a guest’s stay.

Key focus areas include detox and nutrition, immune resilience, stress recovery, emotional wellbeing, sleep optimisation, physical performance and longevity. Dedicated pathways for women’s health and hormonal balance, as well as men’s vitality, form part of the resort’s core offering, supported by medically certified specialists and experienced practitioners.

Wellness facilities will span more than 7,000 square metres and include spaces for physiotherapy, fitness training, mindfulness practices, energy work, nutrition consultation and therapeutic spa treatments.

Adults-only and family zones at Jayasom Wellness Resort

The layout of Jayasom Wellness Resort has been planned around two distinct zones: a serene adults-only enclave and a family-focused area designed to support intergenerational wellbeing. Family facilities will include dedicated spaces for infants, toddlers, tweens and teenagers, allowing programmes to run in parallel while maintaining privacy for guests seeking a quieter retreat environment.

This dual structure positions Jayasom Wellness Resort as both a destination for personal reset and a setting for shared wellness experiences. Family programming will emphasise movement, nutrition education, emotional regulation and time in nature, aligned with the resort’s broader health philosophy.

Traditional Arab and Islamic Medicine in a modern context

A defining element of Jayasom Wellness Resort at AMAALA is the inclusion of TAIM, or Traditional Arab and Islamic Medicine. These protocols draw on regional knowledge systems that prioritise balance, prevention and harmony across body and mind, incorporating herbal practices, nutritional principles and emotional wellbeing frameworks.

At Jayasom, TAIM will be delivered alongside contemporary medical assessment rather than as a standalone offering. This approach allows traditional practices to be contextualised within modern health standards, offering guests exposure to regional healing knowledge in a clinically informed setting.

Programmes inspired by TAIM will sit alongside retreats focused on detox, sound therapy, leadership wellbeing, physical performance, marine-based movement and equine-assisted experiences.

Design, nature and regenerative practices

Environmental responsibility forms a central part of the Jayasom Wellness Resort concept. The property will include a signature organic farm supplying fresh produce for its nutrition-led cuisine, while also functioning as an educational space for guests of all ages.

The farm will support biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and early-stage plant cultivation for the resort’s landscape, reinforcing the link between nourishment, environment and long-term health. This approach reflects Jayasom’s stated commitment to maintaining a light resource footprint and supporting future generations.

Architecture and landscape design at Jayasom Wellness Resort will prioritise connection to the surrounding environment, with open spaces, natural materials and layouts intended to encourage stillness and reflection rather than spectacle.
