Mornings, separate
Adult retreats run on the Jayana side. Children's programmes run by age band on the Jayela family side.
Preparing your experience
Adults and children at Jayasom AMAALA share a property without sharing a programme. The Jayela family side runs alongside the Jayana adult core, with overlap when it's wanted and quiet when it's not. The depth of practice does not soften because children are present; it shapes itself differently.
A common parental question, and a fair one. The answer sits in the architecture: trained child-development teams, structured supervision, tested play infrastructure, and a property that is not all sort of serious and heavy.
Adults run their wellness work in the morning. Children's programmes run alongside, structured by age band. The four o'clock to five o'clock slot holds something for everyone in residence; this is when the two sides most often meet. Evenings flex.
STEP 01
Adult retreats run on the Jayana side. Children's programmes run by age band on the Jayela family side.
STEP 02
A universal Family slot every afternoon. The two sides meet on the same calendar for one structured hour.
STEP 03
Shared meals or separate calendars, paced to what the family needs that night.
CHILDREN'S PROGRAMME
Thirty-five activities run across five daily slots, seven days a week, structured into five age bands. Each session runs forty minutes. The team carries thirty Skill Development tags between them; the activity grid maps to those tags rather than to themes.

MINUTE SESSIONS
The time for planting. Sensory-led play, parent-and-child sessions, structured rest. Run on the Jayela family side, ground floor of the Health and Wellness Centre.
Striving for independence. Movement, story-led group work, water-borne sessions at the Beach Hut, and cook-together time at Nakeha Studio.
Standing tall. Bouldering at the Active Courts, balance hammocks, taller play challenges, longer breath and movement sessions. Some treatment-side overlap when it's wanted.
The stage of flourishing. VR treadmills (Omni One partnership), cohort programming, and time for everyone in this band to step into adult-side sessions where appropriate.
Outdoor and indoor play spaces for younger guests, designed for safe exploration and family time together.
Near the retail village. Partially shaded. Provisioned for youngsters of all ages: small huts and sand for the very young, slides, seesaws, and climbing features for the middle ages, and balance hammocks and taller challenges for teens.
In the shade of the Jayela Terraces, next to the children's pool. A magical free-play space; the walls are festooned with bouldering grips and the rubberised floor surface features partial domes for running and rolling.
Near the Jayela family pools, towards the cove coastline. A shaded active play area with climbing, a slide, tunnels, and more. A pathway provides convenient access to the beach front for strollers or mobility equipment.
Two pools on the ground floor of the Jayela Terraces: one deeper, one shallower (zero to forty centimetres) for young children. Building shade, sofa seating for family groups, changing rooms and toilets at hand.
The launching pad for watersports. Jayasom AMAALA promotes non-motorised sports as best for the environment, for exercise, and for peaceful entertainment. Stand-up paddleboard, snorkelling, swim lessons, and water-borne yoga. Rinsing showers available.
Lit at night for extended hours of use. Trampolines at ground level. A bouldering wall with a rubberised landing zone. Fuwa Domes, large inflated structures built for climbing, bouncing, sliding, and clambering. A multi-use games court for foot five, volleyball, and badminton.
Learning add-on
A learning add-on built specifically for As a Family stays. Sessions on cooking, gardening, sustainability, and traditional Saudi practice, run by the chefs and the team. Adults and children may attend together, or separately when the age band runs deeper material.
Switch between a single family-wide view and age-banded summaries. Each tab shows how the programme reads for that audience.
A typical day from morning through evening, anchored to the universal four-to-five family slot. No clock-times; the day shapes itself.
What you might do alongside your child, what you might do together, and what you might do separately. Built from Kannan's direction: choose what you do yourself and what you do with your children.
The full activity grid: thirty-five activities, five daily slots, seven days. Filter by age band: zero to three, four to eight, nine to twelve, thirteen and above, or the Family slot itself.

FAMILY MEDITERRANEAN
The family-side Mediterranean kitchen on the Jayela family side. A relaxed lunch and dinner room paced for tables of mixed ages, slow service, and a menu that reads as Mediterranean across the day. Children eat from the same kitchen as adults; no separate-table protocol.
The bench seating accommodates strollers and high chairs without removing the room's stillness. Plant-forward dishes, grilled fish, slow-roasted vegetables. The chefs minimise gluten, refined sugars, salt, and coffee on the principle that flavour comes from herbs and technique instead.
Worldwide Kids programming for the Growing Studios. Pavigym-integrated flooring at the Active Courts. Omni One VR for the teen-tier studio. Six brand partners across the family side.
The Family side's working room, named for Moso bamboo: fast-growing, deeply rooted. The Hub holds the Family Wellness Daily Bundles and the parent-led check-ins through the week.
