SHA Spain

SHA Wellness · season not listed

A wellness clinic with suites and residences on the Sierra Helada side of L'Albir, not in Benidorm town: Levante beach is about 4.2 km away and the Old Town about 5.7 km. Suites run from 70 m² to 120 m², and the food is health-led and mostly plant-based. Guests come for programmes, not a beach holiday.

Our verdictBook it if you want a structured health programme and the price is no object. The catch: value scores 2.6 across 11 reviews, the lowest of anything guests mention, and there is nothing within 300 m. We have no prices for it in our tracker; the site offers complimentary treatments worth €1,185 (£1,002.63) on 7-night-plus programmes.
