Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som

No alcohol and no internet: at Zulal, the detox is thorough. This sprawling wellness resort on Qatar's northern coast is the first Middle East outpost of Chiva-Som, the Thailand-based wellness group, and it takes the brief seriously. Low-slung buildings wrap around lagoon-style pools a few steps from a natural beach, the health center draws on Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine, and the restaurants follow the same philosophy. Bring a book.
