It lays weight to non-surgical, innovative technology in cosmetic and regenerative medicine and naturally, the right nutrition to boost vitality and nourishment throughout your stay.
Advanced Technology
State of the art diagnostic tools are the cornerstones to ultimate health and here they have them. Test your strengths at Zoya Health & Wellness Resort with The Body Composition Analyzer (BCM), a non-invasive assessment which measure visceral fat, metabolic rate and hydration levels. The Diers 4D Formetric technology evaluates posture alignment, the position and overall health of the spine while the DIERS Pedocsan measures gait and pressure distribution while highlighting mal-positions of the feet. And finally, a muscle strength analysis comes under the microscope to highlight the weaker points of the body. The concluding reports are fascinating and provide invaluable details of physiological strengths and weaknesses. From these introductory sessions, the physician is able to customise a programme schedule to treat, balance, heal and enhance your health during your stay with lifestyle suggestions to take with you when you leave.
Customised Programmes
My customised programme included a range of treatments to include oxygen therapy to optimize the oxygen utilization of cells and tissues and IV therapy which supplies multi vitamins intravenously to boost energy levels. Zoya’s IV therapy list includes treatment for anti-stress, immune boost, gut cleanse and detox treatments but is prescribed only according to the physician’s recommendations. The Ozone Sauna involves time cocooned in a robot-type shell (except your head) but beware, it’s suffocatingly hot! Cryo-therapy (or shockwave healing) is also available here, but a chillier experience! Massage styles range from traditional Thai, Swedish, hot stone, suction and Hawaii Lomi-Lomi. But the Floating Relaxation Bed proved to be the signature treat, wrapped in a warm towel on a water bed, defying gravity with jets calming the spine – the ultimate in relaxation. Bliss.
Amazing Wellness Spa
The pampering takes place in the 1500-square-metre holistic wellness spa on the lower level, lit by calming hues with corners of relaxation areas dotted around and swathed in an aromatic fragrance adding to this chilled out zen space. With private areas for men, ladies, and couples, the facilities include a hydrotherapy area, infrared and Finnish sauna, attractive Turkish Hammam and scrub room, scented steam area, cold warm indoor pools and experience showers. Body treatments range from a Black Nile mud or coffee body scrub, mint or coconut milk bath ritual, Vichy Waterfall experience to VOYA organic wraps.
Yoga takes centre stage with daily classes in Prana Breathing, Nada Yoga (sound yoga) and meditation. Outside, there are bicycles to ride to the Al Zorah beach or you can take the resort shuttle to Ajman city centre. The gym is one of the largest and well-equipped facilities of its kind with circuit training and torso power development on offer. The personal training sessions are usually built into customised programmes to help achieve individual physical targets and support weaknesses highlighted in assessment reports.
