F&B · Jayasom AMAALA

Culinary Nourishment

Eight venues across the property. One shared discipline: no alcohol, no deep frying, in-house bottled water, fourteen approved cooking methods, and produce drawn from the Farm Belt that runs the length of the property. The plates change with what's at the table; the standards do not.

01

Six Core Values

Wellness through nourishment, not denial. Local-region preference where the fit is genuine. Seasonal rhythm. Honest sourcing. Skill in service of restoration. The plate as a quiet teacher.

02

Five Cornerstones of Wellness Cuisine

Whole-food preference. Plant-led. Mineral-aware. Cooked at the lowest necessary heat. Plated to the appetite that arrives, not the menu's idea of one.

Jayana · Adult side

Saratô

Three meals · Cove kitchen

Three meals a day on the cove side, the heart of the adult kitchen. The first meal of your week often happens here, paired with the brief from your Wellness Advisor. The week begins at the table.

Jayana · Adult speciality

Jiraka

Indian-Saudi spice route · Beef-free

Jiraka is the Sanskrit origin of the word cumin, an Indian spice essential in a cuisine that has travelled from India to Saudi Arabia. The specialty kitchen surprises with Indian spice work in Saudi-rooted dishes. Beef-free.

Jayana · Adult side

Shay Waard

Tea lounge

A tea lounge on the adult side. The afternoon slows here; ceremony when it's wanted, quiet when it's not.

Jayela · Family side

Loumi Rue

Three meals · Family kitchen

The family three-meal restaurant. Loumi is the name for a black lemon, born into a family of citrus, different and misunderstood. Loumi finds a friendship with parsley, who is often confused with coriander. The two of them found a friendship that comes from being misunderstood.

Jayela · Family speciality

Chez Mitzuba

JAPANESE · FRENCH · WAGYU

Family-side specialty, dinner only. Japanese plates with French construction. The only kitchen on property that serves beef (Wagyu).

Jayela · Family side

Breezy Kale

Healthy deli

The family healthy deli. Kale at the centre, the word "breezy" carrying the lighter register. Breezy Kale is the place for a slight deviation in your wellness programme. Feeling mischievous? There's ice cream.

Wellness Centre · Shared

Chia Bite

Healthy bar · Active pit stop

A healthy bar at the Health and Wellness Centre, shared by adults and families. Chia is derived from an Aztec word meaning oily, hinting at the seed's omega-three content. There's no real rush here; consider it an active pit stop in your daily programme.

Nakeha Studio

Cooking studio

Nakeha is the Arabic word for flavour, often used to describe the specific taste of a food or a drink. In the studio you cook alongside the chefs from each restaurant. Soul of the kitchen, served.

The brief in the kitchen

One discipline across eight kitchens

Eight dining venues run across the property: Saratô on three meals at Jayana, Jiraka as the Jayana speciality, Shay Waard as the tea house, Loumi Rue on three meals at Jayela, Chez Mitzuba as the Jayela speciality, Breezy Kale as a healthy deli, Chia Bite as the active pit stop, and Nakeha Studio as the cooking studio.

Hard standards run across every venue: no alcohol resort-wide, no deep frying, fourteen approved cooking methods, all dishes gluten-free at Saratô and Loumi Rue, beef available only at Chez Mitzuba, in-house water bottling and a Farm Belt growing terrace feeding the kitchens.

Culinary direction sits with the Director of Health and Wellness alongside the Executive Chef. Menus are reviewed against the nourishment approach: thorough, restorative and shaped to support what each retreat is asking the body to do.

Cognition and clarity plates anchored to magnesium sources, polyphenols and slow glucose curves.
