SHA WELLNESS CLINIC
SHA is a world-leading wellness clinic dedicated to improving and prolonging people’s health and well-being by fusing outstanding natural therapies, mainly from ancient Eastern cultures, with the most advanced treatments that Western medicine has to offer.
For your comfort and relaxation, we suggest comfortable clothes, as well as using the bathrobe and slippers available for use in your suite. These may be worn throughout the day, except at dinner at the SHAmadi restaurant, where we require casual but elegant clothing; flip-flops, shorts, sleeveless shirts, sportswear and other clothing that does not meet the recommended dress rules are not allowed. Nudism is prohibited in all common areas of the SHA Wellness Clinic.
In compliance with current legal regulations, for your own well-being and that of other guests, smoking is strictly prohibited throughout the SHA facilities. All our suites are smoke-free, so if our staff finds evidence of tobacco or smoking in your suite, you will be charged € 500 for cleaning, air purification and conditioning.
In order to maintain our atmosphere of calm and tranquillity, the minimum age for admission to the SHA is 12 years old. However, Management may admit children under that age in exceptional circumstances, as long as they are accompanied at all times by their parents and/or guardians and behave politely and respectfully. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed access to common areas such as the Clinic Area, Hydrotherapy Circuit, SHAmadi Restaurant, Fitness Area, swimming pools and terraces.
You may visit SHA with your pet as long as it has a maximum weight of 5 kg and remains under the responsibility of its owner at all times, ensuring that it does not cause any inconvenience to other guests. You may not walk your pet through the common areas, including the Wellness Clinic Area, Hydrotherapy Circuit, SHAmadi Restaurant, Fitness Area, swimming pools and terraces, or use the elevators. In case of non-compliance, you will be asked to house your pet outside the SHA facilities, otherwise, we will proceed to cancel your reservation and charge you the full 100% cost. Bringing a pet carries an additional daily cost.
The official languages at SHA are Spanish and English. If you need translation services into any other language during your stay, please notify us in advance so that we can provide you with the necessary service, at an additional cost.
We believe in diversity and in the richness of cultures, and respect all religions and ways of life. However, our facilities have a Catholic chapel on site, where Mass is offered for our guests.
The atmosphere is relaxing and tranquil, conducive to personal meetings, and it is easy to find places where you can enjoy solitude or share the ambiance with your desired company. There is generally an excellent climate in the region, and it’s a real pleasure to spend time on the terraces, whether these are in the private suites or in the common areas, offering stunning views.
Silence and tranquillity are essential values at SHA. Your cooperation is essential to ensure you enjoy the facilities to the full. For this reason, we request guests keep noise levels to a minimum, particularly between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm, and after 10:00 pm. If you are watching television or listening to music, please keep the volume to a level only audible in your suite. Likewise, the use of mobile phones in common areas is totally prohibited, and headphones are mandatory when using tablet devices and/or music players.
In the event of inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour on the part of a guest, which is contrary to our current regulations, SHA reserves the right to end their stay.
The main benefit we offer is to optimise the state of your health, which applies as much to the young and healthy, as to the elderly or those with health problems. Everyone can benefit significantly from spending time at SHA.
In general, the benefits are clear and visible, proof of which are the hundreds of testimonials we receive from our guests, sharing with us what SHA has meant to them.
Usually, these are people with chronic problems such as migraines, obesity, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep disorders, stress, tobacco addiction, psoriasis, allergies, cardiovascular disorders, anxiety, depression, arthritis, rheumatism, and many more, who without exception achieve highly satisfactory results.
During the first two or three days of your stay, you may experience symptoms such as headaches or fatigue, which are typical of the purification and re-adaptation process your body undergoes. Don’t worry about this, and instead let yourself be guided by the advice of our experts.
Weight loss varies from one person to the next, and depends on a number of different factors, such as physical constitution, weight, metabolism, age and gender, as well as eating habits, physical exercise or the ability to relax.
The results depend on the time and intensity of the treatment followed during the stay. Normally, after following SHA’s nutrition plan for a few days, including natural therapies, massages and exercise programmes, the results are clearly visible.
The SHA Method is not limited exclusively to weight loss, but also helps our guests to incorporate numerous eating and healthy habits as a change of lifestyle, so that they can continue improving the way they look and feel in addition to their overall quality of life.
In order to monitor the evolution of your programme correctly, we advise you to visit our Nursing Unit for a follow-up and a weigh-in every other day before breakfast.
In addition to all the improvements obtained naturally after following a healthy diet, such as radiant skin, shiny hair, and a rejuvenated appearance, among others, excellent results can also be achieved at SHA with the numerous non-invasive aesthetic medicine treatments available.
We offer a range of healthy nutrition options which seek to introduce a diet capable of rebalancing the body into our guests’ lifestyles, helping them to enhance their self-healing capacities. The food we offer is natural, energetic and balanced, inspired by ancient principles adapted to modern life, respecting the best that nature has to offer in each season, and customising it according to the needs of each person.
The products we use to create our dishes are carefully sourced, taking into account the seasons, origin and combination of organic, fresh, and top-quality produce. The idea is to create an energy-charged, healthy experience, which stimulates the palate at a level comparable with haute cuisine.
Depending on the results you’re looking for, and your state of health, you may have to follow a diet which is more or less strict, according to the recommendations of your nutrition consultant and the meal plan assigned to you. As a general rule, you will not go hungry and can enjoy a fulfilling, balanced and healthy diet, adapted to your needs and health goals, if you have them.
Vegan and vegetarian diets exclude all animal meat. SHA nutrition – although based mostly on plant products – does not exclude, for those who want or need animal protein, the consumption of fish and/or shellfish, which are served with greater or lesser regularity depending on the food plan you are assigned.
We can categorically state that the SHA food plan is correctly balanced and allows you to improve your health considerably for as long as you follow it. In specific cases, the nutritional plan may be more restrictive, but once the therapeutic objectives are achieved, it can be expanded to become a varied and tasty diet.
Many people have been able to restore their health through healthy nutrition, often during the course of serious illness. It is important to note that we do not consider this to be a cure for cancer.
When people follow a special diet, the body’s natural healing capacity is stimulated in such a way that it leads to greater health and vitality. It is true that in many cases positive lifestyle changes such as diet, activity and attitude can produce significant results, particularly involving the remission of a serious illness.
What is noticeable, even in cases where very advanced diseases cannot be cured, is how it leads to reduced pain and improvements in patients’ quality of life.
This will not be a problem. At SHA, we have made an effort to meet the needs of the most demanding guests, in line with our centre’s vocation for health and wellness. If you do not need to follow a weight loss diet, you will be able to enjoy an haute cuisine menu designed for enjoyment, with no red meat, dairy products, or sugar, nor foods containing additives, in line with our nutritional philosophy.

At SHA, we have two options for you to consult your treatment and service programme:
