A popular wellness and therapy oasis with a breathtaking panoramic view. Climate therapy at the ZARA Medical Center, wellness, beauty & relaxation in the 6000 sqm "ZARA Spa".
Located on the picturesque northern shore of the Dead Sea, about 400 metres below sea level, awaits an extraordinary hotel complex designed as a charming natural stone village across 100,000 sqm – authentic, stylish, and crafted with a deep appreciation for Jordanian architecture. Nestled in a gently landscaped setting with streams, palm trees, and manicured gardens, the 2- to 3-storey guest houses stretch from the main building down to the sea. The paths lead through a true holiday paradise – ideal for those seeking relaxation, connoisseurs, and culture enthusiasts. The resort is also a popular retreat for locals and tour groups.
The heart of the complex is the idyllic "village square": Here, you'll find tasteful boutiques, cosy restaurants, a winter and summer pool, and a seasonally heated infinity pool with sea views. An amphitheatre for cultural events adds extra highlights in the open air.
For guests with limited mobility, Club Cars are available on request, as the path down to the sea can be challenging.
As a pioneer in environmental awareness, the resort has been awarded the internationally renowned "Green Globe Award" – the first company in Jordan to do so. Thus, you enjoy not only stylish comfort but also a stay in harmony with nature.
Start your day in the stylish "Al Saraya" restaurant with a lavish breakfast buffet featuring live cooking stations. If you've opted for half board, an exciting dinner buffet awaits you in the evening, offering daily new delights from Mediterranean dishes to international favourites. Additionally, you can choose from a fine selection of à la carte dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and a keen eye for detail. Guests with special dietary needs are well catered for: vegetarian, vegan, or low-fat meals are happily prepared upon request.
For even more culinary variety, four additional restaurants in the "village" captivate with authentic local atmosphere and regional as well as international specialties. From oriental flavours to Mediterranean delights – embark on a true taste expedition.
The bar in the main building offers a cosy ambiance, perfect for an afternoon coffee, a pre-dinner aperitif, or a relaxing drink to end the day. The selection is complemented by an array of bars and cafés scattered throughout the resort. Whether it's a cappuccino with a view of the greenery, a refreshing juice by the pool, or a glass of wine under the open sky – everyone will find their favourite spot to indulge.
At the elegant Zara Spa, a world of tranquillity, rejuvenation, and well-being awaits you across 6,000 sqm, exclusively for guests aged 18 and over. This luxurious wellness oasis combines modern spa architecture with the natural healing powers of the Dead Sea, inviting you to harmonise body, mind, and soul. Immerse yourself in the expansive hydro-pool with massage stations, drift in the bubbling whirlpool, or enjoy the magnificent view from the heated outdoor spa infinity pool. The indoor pool with original Dead Sea water offers a unique floating experience that relaxes your muscles and pampers your skin.
Experience soothing moments in the stylish Hamam, which features separate areas for ladies and gentlemen, equipped with a caldarium, laconium, and tropical rain shower. The Kneipp foot bath provides a revitalising refreshment for your legs – ideal after an active day.
