Zoe Wall appointed as Kerzner's first global wellness director
Industry veteran Zoe Wall has begun a new role as global wellness director for resort developer and operator Kerzner International. Kerzner is also the owner of One&Only Resorts, Atlantis Resort & Residences, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort and SIRO Hotels.
Wall’s appointment marks Kerzner’s first global director of wellness and could signal the brand’s ambition to further integrate wellness into its brands and their offerings.
In recent years, Kerzner has grown its commitment to wellness through moves including aligning One&Only with leading health, medical wellness and wellbeing brand Chenot Group in 2019.
The partnership saw Chenot curate a bespoke retreat concept – named Chenot for One&Only – for the brand, and now Chenot spas are located at One&Only resorts in Malaysia and Montenegro, with plans for a third in Corfu by Q4 2022.
Kerzner also plans to launch SIRO, an immersive lifestyle hospitality concept inspired by fitness and wellbeing with gold-medal Olympians as ambassadors.
Before her role with Kerzner, Wall enjoyed a four-year tenure as group director of spa, Asia, at spa management company MSpa International, the spa management arm of Minor Hotel Group.
She began her career in the industry working as an aesthetician onboard spas with Steiner – the world’s largest operator of spas at seas. In 2008, Wall moved to Dubai, where she was part of the pre-opening team of the spa at Atlantis The Palm.
Five years later, she joined Anantara Hotels & Resorts – one of Minor’s brands – as spa director in Dubai. Wall launched spas at Anantara The Palm Dubai and Banana Island Resort in Doha during this stint and was also responsible for operations at the Anantara Spa at Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara.
She then progressed to a role with Natura Bissé, working as regional spa business development management, before joining her most recent role at MSpa.
