SHA Wellness Retreat Explained: What Is the Celebrity-Favorite Luxury Spa?
Naomi Campbell, Kate Beckinsale, Barbra Streisand and Kylie Minogue have all reportedly visited SHA Wellness, the luxury retreat that pairs medical science with longevity-focused programming. Here’s what to know about the destination drawing A-list clientele.
Where is SHA Wellness Located?
SHA Wellness operates its original property in Spain, with a second location that opened in Mexico in 2024 and a third site in the United Arab Emirates set to open in late 2026.
The expansion has helped fuel SHA’s reputation as a global destination for luxury wellness travelers. According to a roundup of insider-favorite wellness retreats, the brand has become a go-to for celebrities seeking immersive health programming in upscale settings.
What is the SHA Method and What Does It Focus On?
The SHA method is the retreat’s signature approach, which the company describes as “the most integrative method available to achieve an optimal state of health and well-being.”
According to SHA’s integrative method page, the program focuses on nine main areas: healthy nutrition, natural therapies, preventive and healthy aging medicine, advanced aesthetics, cognitive stimulation and emotional health, well-being and inner balance and physical performance. The framework is designed to address overall lifestyle rather than a single health concern, blending traditional therapies with newer longevity-focused treatments.
Is SHA Wellness Backed by Medical Science?
Yes — SHA’s programming is overseen by a Scientific Advisory Board made up of medical professionals specializing in cardiology, preventative medicine, neuroscience and other fields.
The advisory board guides programming across all SHA locations, according to the company. Each property also has its own on-site team that includes nutritionists, hormonal specialists, dermatologists and other health specialists who deliver treatments and consultations during a guest’s stay.
What Wellness Packages Does SHA Offer?
SHA offers four standard programs along with several specialized packs targeting specific health goals.
The standard packages are Rebalance and Energize, Detox & Optimal Weight, Advanced Longevity and Leaders Health & Performance. Specialized packs include Women’s Health, Gut Health, Sleep Well, Quit Smoking, Health Optimization Check Up and Cognitive Boost. Guests can also work with the team to design a tailored program based on personal goals, or build their own itinerary by combining individual treatments and choosing the length of their stay.
What’s Included in a Stay at SHA Wellness Beyond Treatments?
Beyond the medical and wellness programming, a SHA stay includes suite accommodations, full access to facilities and a personalized meal plan throughout the visit.
Guests have access to a hydrotherapy circuit, fitness areas and recovery spaces during their stay. The retreat also provides a complete, personalized meal plan and arranges transportation to and from the airport or train station, making the experience closer to an all-inclusive medical resort than a traditional spa visit.
How Much Does SHA Wellness Cost?
Prices vary by location, package and number of nights, with health and wellness program costs generally ranging from around $700 to $1,400 per person.
Accommodations are billed separately and range from around $550 to $5,500 per night depending on suite size, according to SHA’s online reservations page. That means a multi-night stay combining a longevity or detox program with a higher-tier suite can quickly climb into five-figure territory — part of why the retreat has become synonymous with luxury wellness travel.
