Hotel details

SHA seamlessly blends Eastern philosophies with Western perspectives on health and well-being within its luxurious and modern setting.

Where you are going...

The views of the Mediterranean Sea from the mountain where SHA is located are truly stunning. This makes the rooftop pool a perfect spot to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. The sea and pebbled beach are just a 5-minute drive (or a 20-minute walk) away. Alicante airport is approximately a 30-minute drive from the clinic.

Why you’ll love it...

SHA is based on 8 main areas: healthy nutrition, natural therapies, preventive and healthy aging medicine, advanced aesthetics, cognitive stimulation and emotional health, wellbeing and inner balance, and physical performance. This award-winning 5-star resort is dedicated to enhancing guests' vitality, beauty, and well-being to a higher level. How do they achieve this? By combining traditional eastern methods like acupuncture, tai chi, Ayurveda, and qi gong with Western expertise and techniques, including the guidance of doctors, nurses, and health assessments. A macrobiotic diet plays a crucial role in this comprehensive approach. Believe us, it can be incredibly delicious!

Wellness, Spa and Health

SHA has received numerous awards since its opening in 2008, including the titles of 'Most Directional Spa,' 'Best Spa in Spain and Europe,' and 'Best Destination Spa.' The clinic offers a range of well-established health programs, including options for quitting smoking, detoxification, weight loss, improving sleep, managing burnout, and engaging in yoga and fitness. In addition, it stands out as one of the few retreats that provide a variety of aesthetic treatments. At SHA, the spa facility covers 2,000 square meters and includes an 80-square-meter indoor pool with massage jets, 40 treatment rooms, a Jacuzzi, cold and warm footbaths, numerous saunas, and relaxation areas. The modern design and calming white and grey shades ensure that enhancing your health and well-being is a comfortable and luxurious experience.

What’s on the Menu

In his earlier years, the founder of SHA, Alfredo Bataller, grappled with a chronic illness that appeared to have no cure. It wasn't until he crossed paths with a macrobiotic doctor who prescribed him a special diet that he experienced a remarkable recovery. This personal journey is also why the Shamadi restaurant exclusively serves dishes prepared in accordance with macrobiotic principles. At SHA, this culinary approach has been elevated to haute cuisine. The skilled chefs create healthy, delectable, and nourishing dishes using local, organic, and seasonal ingredients. You can savor these culinary delights in a modern yet inviting ambiance, all while enjoying views of the Altea bay, often complemented by the soothing sounds of piano or guitar music.

We love

The amazing beds! Never slept so good!
Everything that comes out of the kitchen here: delicious, light, and healthy dishes. The chefs prepare dishes that are healthy, nutritious, and flavorful with local, organic, seasonal ingredients. Pure haute cuisine. Incredibly tasty.
The extensive offer of wellness programmes: think of detox, weight loss, quit smoking, anti-aging or sleep enhancement.
