Comprehensive residential wellness programs combining medical assessment, personalized nutrition plans, detox protocols, and physical training at Europe's most scientifically advanced wellness retreat. Medical team includes specialists in longevity and integrative medicine.
The SHA Wellness Clinic Residential program is the clinic's most comprehensive offering: a medically supervised residential stay at the El Albir facility in Alicante lasting between seven and twenty-one days, during which every element of the guest's daily experience — medical treatment, physical activity, nutritional intake, therapeutic sessions, and rest — is coordinated by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. SHA's residential approach is grounded in the principle that meaningful health change requires total immersion in a controlled environment, free from the behavioral patterns, dietary habits, and stress exposures of ordinary daily life. Medical assessment at the start of a residential stay is extensive. The SHA clinical team — which includes specialists in longevity medicine, functional nutrition, endocrinology, sleep medicine, cardiometabolic health, and integrative oncology — conducts detailed diagnostic evaluations that may include full blood panels, advanced biomarker testing, continuous glucose monitoring, sleep architecture studies, and body composition analysis. These findings directly determine the treatment protocol for the full duration of the stay. Treatment protocols are organized into named program tracks aligned to specific health goals. The SHA Detox program focuses on hepatic and lymphatic cleansing through fasting-mimicking nutrition, drainage therapies, and colonic hydrotherapy. The SHA Longevity program applies current longevity science — NAD+ optimization, hormetic stress protocols, and targeted anti-aging therapies — within a structured multi-week plan. The SHA Optimize program targets cognitive and physical performance for executives and athletes, combining neurofeedback, cardiovascular conditioning, and advanced dietary periodization. Program tracks can be combined or individualized based on intake assessment findings. The residential environment at SHA is designed to remove all friction from the health-focused experience. Rooms and suites offer Mediterranean sea or nature-reserve views, private terraces, and interior design calibrated to support sleep quality. The macrobiotic and alkaline kitchen operates without alcohol, refined sugar, or ultra-processed ingredients, preparing four to five daily meals aligned to each guest's protocol. A dedicated personal wellness coordinator is assigned to each guest, managing the daily treatment and activity schedule throughout the stay. SHA residential programs represent a significant investment, beginning at approximately €3,000 and rising to over €15,000 for longer intensive protocols. The clinic is located in El Albir, approximately 60 kilometers north of Alicante airport.

- The longevity track requires a minimum commitment of ten to fourteen days for most biomarker optimization protocols to produce measurable results
- Arrange all essential communications before arrival; the SHA environment actively limits device use during treatment hours

Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes SHA Residential from a standard luxury hotel spa?
SHA Residential is a medically supervised clinical program, not a leisure spa experience. A physician-led team conducts full diagnostic assessments, designs individualized treatment protocols, and monitors health progress throughout the stay. The experience is structured, purposeful, and evidence-based.
How long should a first residential stay be?
Seven days is the minimum for a meaningful introduction to the SHA method. The clinic recommends ten to fourteen days for most therapeutic and longevity protocols to produce measurable results. First-time guests are encouraged to allow at least a full week to adjust to the nutrition program before assessing outcomes.
What medical specialists are part of the SHA clinical team?
The SHA team includes specialists in longevity medicine, functional nutrition, endocrinology, sleep medicine, cardiometabolic health, integrative oncology, physiotherapy, and Oriental medicine, among others. The composition of the attending team is tailored to each guest's program track and intake findings.
How does SHA handle guests with complex medical histories?
SHA requires detailed pre-arrival health disclosure and may conduct preliminary telephone consultations with the clinical team before confirming a booking for guests with complex medical histories. On-site, the multidisciplinary team coordinates care across specialties and adjusts protocols in response to any unexpected findings.
What is the cost range for residential programs?
Programs begin at approximately €3,000 for shorter stays and can exceed €15,000 for longer, more intensive protocols including advanced diagnostics and premium suite accommodation. A detailed quotation is provided following the pre-arrival health assessment and program selection.
