Feels like profound connection, relaxing together, renewal.
As a Pair
Something happens to togetherness over time. Not a crisis, usually. Just the ordinary weight of life - the separate rhythms, the weeks that move too fast, the forgetting to stop and really look at each other. As a Pair is shaped for couples who know that - who want to be more fully in what they have, deliberately and together.

Overview
As a PAIR
Something happens to togetherness over time. Not a crisis, usually. Just the ordinary weight of life - the separate rhythms, the weeks that move too fast, the forgetting to stop and really look at each other. As a Pair is shaped for couples who know that - who want to be more fully in what they have, deliberately and together. The couple celebrating a long-held bond. The couple wanting to find their way back. The couple who knows that what they share is worth more than the time it usually gets. Profound connection. Relaxing together. Renewal. The programme holds all of it.

Featured Treatments
Six treatments anchor As a Pair, feels like profound connection, relaxing together, renewal.
Qalbain (Two Hearts)
The hero ritual of As a Pair. Two hours for both partners to move through together - releasing what you arrived carrying, restoring through skin and breath, and arriving at the same stillness at the same moment.
Crystal Aroma Massage
Heated jade crystals work across the muscles in long, slow strokes, paired with Arabic-inspired oils. Both partners in the same room, moving toward the same quiet.
Couples Wellness Counselling
A structured session that works on the patterns underneath a partnership - communication, emotional regulation, the practical skills that sustain what matters. Drawn from cognitive and behavioural methodology. Returns across the longer tiers as a recurring conversation.
Chakra Balancing Therapy
Tibetan singing bowls bring the nervous system into stillness while warm herbal oils ease the muscles. Two therapists, two partners, the same room. What settles in here tends to stay settled.
Sound Bath Meditation
Singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. The vibrations slow the heart rate and quiet the mind. Both partners dropping into the same rhythm at the same time.
Floatation Therapy
Warm mineral-rich water removes the load of gravity from the body. Two pools, side by side. Both partners taking the same fifty minutes of weightlessness at the same time.

OVERVIEW
Two People, One Intention
As a Pair is shaped around the intention each couple brings. Come to celebrate what you have - as friends, partners, siblings, parents. Or come to find a way back to each other. Come because you know the connection between the two of you deserves more investment than ordinary life allows.
Six directions hold the work:
Relax and renew together; deepen your love and connection; relate to each other in new ways; build trust and communicate better; explore healthier relationship dynamics; rejuvenate. Arrive for one intention and uncover thoughts. Your programme is agile enough to follow you there.
OVERVIEW
Two People, One Intention
The As a Pair retreat is shaped around the intention each pair brings. For some couples, that intention is celebrating a long-held bond. For others, it is finding a way back into a connection the everyday has worn thin. Either register fits the As a Pair frame; the Wellness Advisor sets the programme around the pair's stated direction at the pre-arrival conversation.
The methodology your Wellness Advisor draws on names six directions for couples work. From the Jayasom Health and Wellness Retreats Advisors Course, page 14, lifted verbatim:
SIX DIRECTIONS
- Relax and renew together.
- Deepen your love and connection.
- Relate to each other in new ways.
- Build trust and commitment further, communicate better.
- Explore healthier relationship dynamics.
- Rejuvenate your intimate moments.
These directions surface across the stay through small decisions: a shared treatment one day, a paired sunrise class on another, slower meals through the week, and the counselling conversation that brings the same methodology into focused dialogue. Couples who come for one of the six often find another moves to the centre by mid-stay; the programme is light enough to follow them.
The Wellness Advisor holds the brief through the days. Visiting Practitioners arrive in residence at intervals through the year. Where one of them aligns with what the assessment surfaces for either partner, the relevant work moves to them for that stay.

Daily rhythm
Your Days Together
Mornings open at the studio: Mat Pilates, Morning Yoga Flow, Yin Yoga, or Tai Chi. The eleven o'clock Stretch Class anchors every day. Lunch is unhurried at Sarato on the Jayana side or lighter at Chia Bite. Afternoons hold the booked treatments. Evenings shift gentler - Pranayama or Singing Bowl Meditation at six, a slow dinner at Sarato or Jiraka. Late-night practices stay open for those who want them.
The setting
The Setting at AMAALA
Jayasom AMAALA sits on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, within the Triple Bay master plan. The architecture is by Heah & Co with interiors by Studio Carter. Buildings recede in the right places and sit low against the coastline; sea breeze moves before mechanical cooling; materials are local where the climate allows them. For As a Pair guests, the relevant zone is Jayana, the adults retreat area at the southern end of Triple Bay. The Yasmeen Night Garden takes its name from the jasmine that opens only after dark. The garden sits at the foot of the Wellness Plateau and is reached through a moon gate, where reclining loungers angle towards the night sky and the path of the moon. Lighting in the area is reduced for celestial observation; bushes planted nearby enrich the air with evening fragrance. The standard accommodation is the Jayana Pavilion King: balcony, lounge chairs, plunge pool, Coco-mat™ natural mattress (latex, coconut fibre, horse hair, cactus fibre, seaweed, knitted cotton), Oud-custom amenities. A Superior Deluxe Suite is available with both indoor and outdoor shower and bathtub. Each room is set up around the partners' stated preferences: aroma options (Calming Lavender or Spirited Rosemary), pillow choice from the seven on the menu, and the room held to the property's temperature standard. Sixty villas plus twenty-four private residences hold the property. Phase one is a small property by destination wellness scale, and the design is for it to stay that way; the daily wellness rhythm is sized to the cohort, not to the building.

FOR TWO
Sessions and rituals shaped for two
Across the As a Pair retreat, several sessions are designed for both partners to take together. They add depth at the moments where the practice asks for both of you in the same room.
Express Hammam Ritual
A shorter version of the traditional Arabic hammam. Both partners in the same suite, experiencing the warm water and exfoliation together. Available on all tiers.
Couples Wellness Counselling
The relational conversation that runs through the stay. Cognitive and behavioural methodology applied to communication patterns and emotional regulation. Returns twice at ten nights, three times at fourteen.
Cooking class with the Nakeha Studio chef
Hands-on cooking at Nakeha Studio, drawing on the kitchen's research into food and wellbeing. Both partners cook alongside the chef. Dinner is what you made. From seven nights upward.
Couples movement series
Yoga, Pilates, and Super Stretch sessions paced to take together. Four-night stays anchor on Yoga; seven nights adds Pilates; ten nights adds Super Stretch. The movement practice builds across your stay.
In residence
Practitioners in Residence
Visiting Practitioners arrive at Jayasom in residence, for weeks at a time, through the year. Each is chosen for the depth of practice they carry. The teaching arrives with them and stays in the practice once they have left.
Through any As a Pair stay, the practitioners in residence are surfaced in the consultation. Where one of them aligns with what the assessment reveals for either partner, the relevant work moves to them for that stay. Couples often book treatment slots in parallel rather than alone.
The Wellness Advisor flags fits at the consultation. Visiting Practitioner work layers into the daily rhythm of the property; it deepens the brief where the assessment indicates alignment.
After departure
Beyond the Stay
On the closing morning, your Wellness Advisor writes the continuity brief - which practices to carry home, at what pace, and how to keep them running when the property's rhythm is no longer holding them. The connection that deepens here can carry home with you.
Day by day
A typical seven-night stay
The structure shapes around what the questionnaire and the Wellness Advisor build in the days before arrival. Four-night stays compress to eleven named treatments; ten and fourteen-night stays expand to twenty-five and thirty-five.
Day 1
Arriving Together
Your Jayana Pavilion is ready on arrival aroma chosen; pillows selected from the seven on the menu. Your Wellness Advisor sits with both of you within the hour. The conversation confirms where each partner is on the day and shapes the programme from there.
Day 2
Finding the Day's Rhythm
The studio opens at seven. Stretch at eleven. The first booked treatment lands in the afternoon - Postural Corrective Therapy, sixty minutes, run by the physiotherapy team. What the practitioner finds shapes the pacing for the rest of the week. Pranayama or Singing Bowl Meditation at six. Dinner runs slow.
Day 3
Conversation in the Room
Morning classes at seven, Stretch at eleven. The Couples Wellness Counselling sits in the afternoon - sixty minutes, cognitive and behavioural methodology applied to communication and emotional regulation. The Express Hammam Ritual follows in the late afternoon. Both partners, the same suite, moving toward the same quiet. The Stonecrop Maze is open in the evening for those who want to wander.
Day 4
Two Hearts in Practice
The Qalbain ritual fills two hours of the morning - grounding, restoration, and a shared stillness at the close. Lunch is light. The afternoon draws back to a single daily treatment. A Cooking class at Nakeha Studio runs from six. Both partners join; dinner is of your creation together.
Day 5
Bodies in Motion
The morning class runs more active. Aqua in the pool at ten for those who want it. Stretch at eleven. Personal Training in late morning - paired session, the trainer working from the physical analysis on file. The afternoon treatment from the daily menu follows. The day runs long; recovery begins tomorrow.
Day 6
Stillness Together
The morning class draws from the quieter end of the calendar - Yin Yoga or Tai Chi. Stretch at eleven. Sound Bath Meditation in the early afternoon - both partners, the same room, the vibrations doing the work. Floatation Therapy follows: two pools side by side, fifty minutes of weightlessness. Crystal Aroma Massage runs late in the afternoon for those who want it.
Day 7
Walking Out Together
The day moves loose. Breakfast at Sarato. The Nutrition and Lifestyle Consultation runs late morning. The closing Wellness Advisor session follows - the continuity brief written, which practices to carry home and how to keep them running. Lunch is the closing meal. Checkout at twelve.
Beyond the seven-night canonical tier
How the rhythm flexes across stay lengths
Four-night As a Pair stays compress this rhythm. The Couples Wellness Counselling and the Couple's Connect Spa Ritual remain anchors; Crystal Aroma Massage, Floatation Therapy, Pilates, and the Cooking class compress out, and the Daily Treatment count drops to three.
Ten-night and fourteen-night stays expand the calendar. The Couples Wellness Counselling returns through the longer stays as a recurring conversation, twice at ten nights and three times at fourteen. The Couple's Connect Spa Ritual runs twice in both longer tiers. Watsu, Bootcamp, and Super Stretch enter the calendar at ten nights. Pranayama, Meditation, Detoxifying Balneotherapy, Aquabiking, and Gyrotonic® come in at fourteen.
Across all four tiers, the pacing remains steady. Partners stay paired through the work, and the Wellness Advisor remains the constant point of contact.
Other directions
Other ways to retreat at Jayasom
