To bring dedication and passion for wellness and sustainable change to the team as Zulal Wellness Resort prepares to open

Chiva-Som International Health Resorts has appointed Daniele Vastolo as General Manager of Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som, a new wellness destination in Qatar. With over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, he aims to bring dedication and a passion for wellness and sustainable change to the team as the resort prepares to open.

Prior to this, Vastolo has worked as the General Manager of the Kempinski Summerland Hotel and Resort in Beirut, where he led all aspects of the hotel’s operations. Before Lebanon, he was the Group Director of Nikki Beach Resort and Spa in Greece and Turkey for six years, before stepping into the Middle East with the pre-opening of Dubai’s Nikki Beach. Vastolo’s dynamic approach has seen him lead teams as General Manager of international hospitality groups and oversee the opening of various high-end destinations. He has hopes to bring his drive and passion for sustainable health to Zulal Wellness Resort, and through a commitment to integrative and holistic wellness, position Qatar as a key wellness destination.

“We are delighted to welcome Daniele Vastolo as General Manager of Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som to spearhead the launch of the property. We are very excited and proud to have created something completely new with Zulal, which is the first in the world to showcase Traditional Arabic Islamic Medicine (TAIM), whilst retaining the inimitable Chiva-Som DNA. The ability to serve families, in particular, offers guests great flexibility and we hope it will inspire wellness for a new generation,” said Krip Rojanastien, Chairman and CEO, Chiva-Som.
