Where Lifestyle Meets Therapy, In Style

Medical wellness is a blooming industry, and SHA wellness has been on the forefront of this revolution for over a decade already

- Amit Vaidya

There’s no denying that medical tourism and in particular, medical wellness, is a booming business. Seekers are now tempted more than ever to skip the basic getaway weekend or a five-star holiday to a remote place when offered a retreat that allows the vacation bit, but also a focus on self-improvement. SHA Wellness (an hour drive from Alicante Airport in Spain, along the Costa Blanca coast in Playa Del Albir) has been at the forefront of this revolution for over a decade now, thanks to the vision and passion exuded by President and Founder Alfredo Bataller and the SHA team he’s put together. It’s no surprise then to hear that the celebrity renowned Spanish clinic will be expanding to two new locations — the first being in Cancun, Mexico, in 2021 — which will be followed by the Middle East in 2023.

So what makes the SHA formula work so well? In my opinion, SHA Wellness is an aspiration. Many aspire to become better version of themselves here, while others simply aspire to just be able to spend a few days in such a beautiful environment. The latter is a no-brainer as the clinic is perched on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea near the Balearic Islands in coastal Spain. The beautiful five-star feel medical resort seems to marry two elements that I preach and follow on a daily basis — holistic therapy and a disciplined lifestyle. Beautifully wrapped with a luxury bow, SHA is probably the best example I’ve seen for providing pampering alongside real, life-changing treatment. Their 360-degree SHA Method approach is a great first step for new wellness seekers and also a great pitstop along the longer road towards sustained well-being for regulars.
