SHA Wellness Clinic

Macrobiotic wellness cuisine

The SHA Wellness Clinic the world's leading macrobiotic Wellness Spa and offers a combination of gourmet macrobiotic cuisine with the excellent treatments, both holistic and medical, helping you glow inside and out. SHA has already wowed spa goers, celebrities and the press, receiving rave reviews and picking up the prestigious Condé Nast award in 2010 for Best Thermal and Natural Spa.

Setting

Located in Albir, close to Altea, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea on Spain’s eastern coast. This site lies within the Sierra Helada National Park, one of Spain’s most important ornithological reserves and declared an area of outstanding natural beauty. SHA sits majestically in the area, an impressive clean structure of five buildings all interconnected - designed in harmony with the environment and the landscape. The sound of water, combined with open spaces, gardens and wrap around views make you feel calm, serene and care-free.

Benefits

As well as the healthy macrobiotic diet, SHA has some of the world’s leading professionals in both western and oriental medicine and therapies which together bring serious results. Expect a combination of holistic and aesthetic therapies as well as weekly activities to help you look every inch as good as you feel.

Eateries

The mouth watering, highly nutritious macrobiotic menu makes you feel immediately lighter, calmer and happier. There is nothing like cutting out the sugar, caffeine and animal produce from your diet to make your skin glow, your hair shine and zap cellulite.

Feel Good Factor

You will find a range of knowledgeable experts in wellness from medical and scientific to holistic and pampering. But, for me, the incredible views combined with the cleansing, nutritious food make it a serious wellness concept with great results. With a healthy diet, and both western and oriental therapies, you may leave home feeling burnt out, overweight and sluggish but you will return home feeling lighter, happier and more positive after you have had time at SHA.

Who's it for?

People who are burnt out and in need of some time, space and TLC. Expect a mix of people who want to get serious about their health. European ladies and a sprinkling of Spanish actresses, not always alone. Best to bring your best cossies with you.

Insider Tips

Take advantage of the Life Learning Centre and the staff where you can learn from the lectures and bring home not just a new healthy you but the knowledge to sustain it. The accommodation at the SHA and bedding must be experienced. The mini bar is free but do not expect to cheat only macrobiotic goodies can be found. Once you have chosen your programme from the vast offerings at SHA relax and feel confident you are in the best hands possible.

Celebrity Fans

Madonna, Yoko Ono, Gwenyth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Alicia Silverstone to name a few.
