Above the Mediterranean in El Albir, SHA Wellness Clinic is a design-led, programme-based health retreat focused on longevity, detox and performance. Terraced in white stone and glass with views to sea and the Sierra Helada Natural Park, it combines medical diagnostics, nutrition, movement and therapies within a structured daily plan. Stays begin at four nights and are tailored to support measurable change — from metabolic reset and sleep recovery to energy and strength — all within a setting that feels calm, precise and contemporary.

BackWhat we love
SHA Wellness
This is serious, science-led wellness — everything is personalised, carefully structured and guided by medical experts, with a clear focus on measurable change. Days have a defined shape, with diagnostics, treatments, movement and nutrition working together. Yet it never feels clinical. The setting plays its part — light-filled spaces, clean lines and open views to the Mediterranean soften the experience. What stands out is the balance — Western medicine alongside anti-inflammatory nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, yoga and meditation, all working together in a way that makes sense. The results are tangible.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE
Integrative approach
Conventional medicine and complementary therapies work side by side, with doctors, therapists and nutritionists involved throughout. Diagnostics guide decisions, but there’s time to talk things through, with plans explained clearly and adjusted as you go. It feels well thought through and easy to follow, with each part building on the next.
PROGRAMMES
Structured pathways
SHA offers clearly defined programmes aligned to specific goals — detox, weight management, longevity, sleep and performance. Each pathway combines medical oversight with integrative therapies, including acupuncture, physiotherapy, nutrition and movement. Progress is tracked and adjusted as you go. Short stays offer a focused reset, while longer programmes allow for deeper change, with the aim of improving how you feel in ways that carry into everyday life.
TABLE
Anti-inflammatory cuisine
Nutrition sits at the centre of the stay. The kitchen follows an anti-inflammatory approach, adapted to individual programmes. Meals are plant-forward, balanced and designed to support how you feel day to day. Flavours are clean, portions considered, and you leave the table satisfied without heaviness. It’s a way of eating that feels practical, and easy to carry home.
ARCHITECTURE
Terraced modernism
The building steps down towards the sea in white, terraced levels, each opening onto wide balconies with uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean and the Sierra Helada hills. Glass, stone and clean lines keep everything light and open. Natural light moves easily through the spaces, and rooms feel airy throughout. The overall effect is calm and expansive, with the landscape always in view.
Sleep
Rooms & Suites
All rooms are spacious suites, starting from around 70m², with private terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Mediterranean or the Sierra Helada hills. Interiors are minimalist, with clean white and grey tones, natural light and a sense of space throughout.
