Preparing your experience

WHERE THE SPACES SIT

Wellbeing Spaces are split across the Jayana adult-arrival side and the Jayela family-arrival side, with the Health and Wellness Centre shared between them. Seventy-six treatment rooms run across the centre.

THE SPA CORE

The Spa

We have 76 treatment rooms for both singles and couples alike, each opening onto a private garden or an enclosed courtyard. Hydrotherapy, sound, breath, bodywork, and clinical-medical assessment all sit within the same building. The Therapeutic Pillars are the architecture here, not a menu to choose from.

Treatment rooms

Each room opens outward – onto a private garden or enclosed courtyard, depending on aspect. Couple’s rooms have twin beds and a shared transition space between them. Single rooms have a daybed positioned toward the garden, where the light changes across the day. Quiet hours are kept across the spa throughout.

Vector 10-1
Hydrotherapy

A circuit of cold and warm pools, mineral baths, contrast showers, and Watsu in a deep pool. Sessions run as a sequence paired with breathwork, and the order is set with your Wellness Advisor to suit where you are in your programme.

Vector 10-2
Sound and breath

Sound healing runs in dedicated rooms; breathwork takes place at the open studio. Neither follows a fixed protocol – sessions are anchored to the Therapeutic Pillars and shaped around the individual.

Lower terrace

The Hydrotherapy Terrace

The hydrotherapy circuit sits on the lower terrace, sheltered and separate from the movement studios above. Cold plunge, contrast showers, warm mineral pool, Watsu pool, herbal steam, salt cabin. The sequence itself is the treatment – your Wellness Advisor will set the order with you before you begin.

Fitness and Movement

The fitness studios occupy the upper terrace of the Health and Wellness Centre, overlooking the gardens and the sea. Pilates, functional training, corrective exercise, and Multiball-integrated floors. Equipment supports the work; it does not define it.

Open studios

Yoga, breathwork, and mobility sessions run here across the week as part of the adult group activity programme. Class sizes are kept small and the schedule adjusts to who is in residence.

Vector 9-1
Strength and conditioning

Multiball-integrated flooring, free weights, kettlebells, and assisted equipment. Sessions run one-to-one or in pairs, with programmes built around recovery and longevity rather than aesthetic goals.

Corrective exercise

Postural assessment, gait analysis, and mobility work run alongside bodywork sessions as part of a joined approach. Corrective exercise features within the Detox, Longevity, and Family Rebalance retreats.

Inside the spa

Treatment Rooms

We have 76 treatment rooms each opening to a private garden or courtyard. Twelve treatment categories sit across the spa: bodywork, energy, sound, water, breath, movement, beauty-as-restoration, traditional Saudi, traditional Asian, clinical-medical, recovery, and longevity assessment. Your Wellness Advisor draws from these according to your programme, not by menu.

Beyond the building

Outdoor Spaces

The Wellness Plateau holds the outdoor practice spaces – a shaded pavilion for yoga and stretching, the Stonecrop Maze for walking meditation, and talking-circle pits in the Phoenix Garden for evening conversation. At the water's edge, the Beach Hut runs water-borne yoga, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, and swim lessons. Everything here is non-motorised.

Five named gardens

Gardens

Named gardens run through the property – each carrying a botanical or sonic etymology and serving a different sensory function across the day. The Farm Belt connects them to the kitchens, a chain of raised beds that moves from growing to cooking.

GARDEN 01
Yasmeen Night Garden

Yasmeen is Arabic for jasmine – a night-blooming flower, and the right name for a garden designed for after dark. It sits at the foot of the Wellness Plateau: a moon gate, reclining loungers angled toward the sky, ring-circle tables, and lighting kept low enough for the stars to come through. Artemisia, jasmine, and gardenia scent the evening air.

GARDEN 02
Stonecrop Maze

A labyrinth set into the high plateau. Walk the path slowly – the centre represents the heart or consciousness, depending on what you bring to it. Stonecrop is a succulent that holds water in conditions where little else survives. Its associations are peace, perseverance, and calm.

GARDEN 03
Poa Garden Theatre

An open amphitheatre set into the ground beyond the JAYELA • FAMILIES reception, facing the cove and the geological formations of the coastline. Poa comes from Poaceae – the grass family. Our Couple's rooms have twin beds and a shared transition space between them. Single rooms have a daybed facing the garden. Doors open outward to private gardens or courtyards, and quiet hours are held across the spa throughout the day. This space remains quiet most days, and worth visiting for the view alone, but we also host events from time to time with a vista not to miss.

GARDEN 04
Phoenix Garden

The garden sits near Saratô on the adult side, with two talking-circle pits, a long dining table, and palms framing the view toward the beach. Reservable for private evening meals.

GARDEN 05
Stonecrop Plateau Pavilion

A shaded pavilion on the Wellness Plateau deck, open throughout the day. Bring a mat for yoga or stretching, or simply sit with the view. A meditative soundtrack developed specifically for this vantage point is available by QR code.

Overview

Sound Gardens

Within the Farm Belt gardens near the Wellness Plateau, five sound installations form a progressive auditory journey designed in collaboration with Svaram. The Arch Wing marks the entrance – an archway of overhanging wind chimes that the breeze sets in motion as you step onto the path. From there, the journey unfolds at your own pace.

Stations

The Bamboo Grove follows – a contemplative passage where sound and touch meet. Walk through the hanging stems with eyes open or closed, at whatever pace the moment asks. Those who explore slowly may find the hidden inner core: a silent resting place concealed within the grove, empty and still.

The Sound Stone Lithophone is built from large rectangular stones that produce tuned musical notes when played – the mineral world, it turns out, has pitch!

The Ringing Stone pours simple pebbles through a hidden chamber, producing a sustained tone that is genuinely difficult to describe and worth hearing for yourself.

Ocean Sound closes the journey – a custom installation that brings the rhythm of waves into the player's hands through a simple rocking motion.

Health and Wellness Garden

The path to the Health and Wellness Centre passes through a garden of medicinal plantings. Tree Germander, long associated with traditional medicine and valued for its fragrance. Texas Sage – not technically a sage, but prized by pollinators and useful as a mild herbal infusion. Rosemary, taken as tea, oil, compress, or inhalation, and long regarded for supporting clarity and memory. Dwarf Gardenia, whose fragrance is associated with calm and whose compounds support antioxidant activity. Slow down as you pass through. The garden is doing something.

"Well-being is a birthright, not a privilege."

Pause-objects ( )

Throughout the property, small objects hold the space between spaces – a bench at the bend of a path, a low wall positioned to catch the breeze, a resting point on the way to a treatment room. The architecture here is designed to slow the pace as much as to accommodate it.
