brand
SHA Wellness Clinic is a luxury health and wellness resort founded in 2008 by Alfredo Bataller Parietti in Alicante, Spain. The clinic is situated on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean coast in the town of El Albir, within the Sierra Helada Natural Park. SHA was conceived as a facility integrating Western medical science with Eastern healing philosophies, combining clinical diagnostics and treatment with holistic wellness practices.
The clinic offers comprehensive health programs that include genetic analysis, advanced medical diagnostics, cognitive health assessments, anti-aging medicine, weight management, stress management, sleep recovery, and detoxification. Medical departments at SHA encompass internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology, gynecology, dentistry, and aesthetic medicine. These clinical services are complemented by natural therapies including acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, and energy healing modalities.
SHA's facilities include over 100 suites designed by architect Carlos Gilardi, multiple swimming pools, a hydrotherapy circuit, fitness facilities, gardens, and treatment rooms. The clinic's macrobiotic restaurant, supervised by a team of nutritionists, is central to its health philosophy. SHA places significant emphasis on nutrition as a pillar of health, with personalized dietary plans developed for each guest based on medical assessments.
The clinic has expanded its presence with SHA Mexico, located in the Riviera Maya, and SHA Emirates, located in Abu Dhabi. SHA Wellness Clinic operates on a program-based model, with guests typically booking multi-day residential stays that include accommodation, meals, treatments, and medical consultations. Programs generally start at several thousand euros for minimum-stay packages.
Lanserhof is a group of medical health resorts founded on the principles of the Mayr cure, a European detoxification and digestive health method developed by Austrian physician Franz Xaver Mayr in the early twentieth century. The original Lanserhof clinic was established in 1989 in Lans, a village near Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol, by the Lans Medicum group.
Lanserhof facilities integrate preventive medicine, diagnostics, and therapeutic treatments within architecturally distinguished resort environments. The Lanserhof approach centers on the Modern Mayr Medicine concept, which combines the original Mayr dietary and intestinal health principles with contemporary medical diagnostics, laboratory analysis, and individualized treatment plans. Programs address digestive health, metabolic optimization, musculoskeletal health, stress recovery, sleep improvement, and immune system strengthening.
The group operates several properties, including Lanserhof Tegernsee in Bavaria, Germany, designed by architect Christoph Ingenhoven and widely regarded as one of the most architecturally striking wellness facilities in Europe; Lanserhof Lans, the original Austrian location; Lanserhof Sylt on the North Sea island of Sylt, Germany; and Lanserhof at The Arts Club in London, which brings the Lanserhof concept to an urban setting. Each property features medical teams including physicians, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and complementary therapy practitioners.
Guests undergo comprehensive medical assessments upon arrival, with subsequent treatment plans tailored to individual diagnostic results. Stays typically range from one to three weeks. Lanserhof positions itself at the premium end of the European medical wellness market, with program costs varying by location and duration but generally starting at several thousand euros per week inclusive of accommodation, medical care, and meals.
