SHA Wellness Clinic — L'Albir
$$$$Flagship Spain retreat with on-property suites, diagnostics, hydrotherapy, nutrition, movement, and twelve clinical leaders
The True Home of Health Optimization
Residential longevity retreat in Spain with multi-week medical programs, diagnostics, nutrition, hydrotherapy, and on-site specialists
SHA Wellness Clinic is the founding SHA retreat on Spain's Costa Blanca, open since 2008. The model is residential: guests stay 4-21+ nights in suites, residences, or villas while an on-site team builds a structured program across diagnostics, preventive medicine, nutrition, movement, hydrotherapy, and integrative therapies. It sits at the luxury medical-retreat end of the longevity market, with Spain as the flagship now informing newer SHA destinations in Mexico and the UAE.
SHA starts with a medical intake and turns the stay into a daily schedule: diagnostics, clinician consults, nutrition, movement, recovery therapies, and education. Its seven-pillar method pairs Western preventive medicine with acupuncture, hydrotherapy, osteopathy, and other integrative modalities. The point is immersion, giving guests enough time and structure to reset habits, recovery, and health routines.

SHA is based in Spain and bills in EUR. US-issued HSA/FSA cards do not extend to international medical retreats.
SHA is a residential medical wellness retreat. Guests stay on-property for a structured program that combines preventive medicine, diagnostics, nutrition, movement, recovery therapies, and health education.
Most signature programs require at least four nights. Deeper longevity programs can run 14-21 nights, with the stay length tied to the program goal.
The founding clinic is SHA Spain in L'Albir, on the Costa Blanca near Alicante. SHA also has newer international destinations, but this entry covers the Spain flagship.
Spanish and English are the official languages. French, Arabic, and other translation support can be arranged in advance when needed.
Public pricing is gated behind the booking flow because totals depend on program, dates, and accommodation tier. Payment is private-pay in EUR.
Guests are generally 12 or older, with younger children admitted only at management discretion. Pets up to 5 kg may be allowed with a daily fee and access restrictions.
No. SHA is built around an in-person residential stay, not a day-clinic or telehealth product.
