SHA

SHA is the internationally known medical wellness clinic in the hills above L'Albir, looking out over the Mediterranean and the Sierra de Altea. People come for structured health programmes that mix medical check-ups, nutrition and wellbeing treatments, not a lazy spa weekend. Programmes include Rebalance and Energize, detox and weight management, longevity, sleep and executive health tracks, plus a Stay Your Way option. Stays usually run from four nights to a week or more. The menu is plant-focused and set by the nutrition team, there's a hydrotherapy circuit, and accommodation ranges from suites to residences and a private villa. It's adults only. It's very expensive, and reviews reflect high expectations. Guests praise the treatments, the food and the attentive care. Common criticisms are a fairly rigid daily schedule, restricted menus, uneven service in busy weeks and a small gym for the number of guests. Read the programme details closely so you pick the right one.
