Al Jurf, a wellness island
SHA Wellness Clinic has partnered with IMKAN to launch SHA Residences Emirates in Abu Dhabi. SHA Wellness Clinic is an exclusive health spa in Spain and a pioneer of integrated wellness taking the best from Eastern and Western medicine.
The new island will be an integration of SHA’s clinics in the UAE. Located on the private island of Al Jurf just over the Dubai border, SHA Emirates Island at Al Jurf combines a residential community, a wellness reset, pavilions for health and wellbeing, and a SHA clinic.
Consider nomad travel insurance when booking a spa holiday. To ensure peace of mind while traveling or living abroad, we recommend getting health insurance. SafetyWing’s Essential plan covers travel and medical emergencies with options for adventure sports and electronics theft. Their Complete plan offers comprehensive health coverage with routine healthcare, mental health support, and maternity, anywhere in the world, including in your home country.
Alejandro Bataller, co-founder and vice president at SHA Wellness Clinic said: “As we celebrate 15 years, we are excited to bring the unique SHA Method to the Middle East, making it possible for more people to benefit from our philosophy of integrative health and well-being.
“We travelled to dozens of locations in search of the perfect natural environment, warm weather and accessibility to create the world’s first fully integrated wellness island and found everything we could imagine and more at the seaside destination of Al Jurf.”
SHA Wellness Clinic claims to be a pioneer of medical innovation and holistic healing located in the picturesque Albir Beach, Spain. A 4-day detox session costs $2500 USD, so wellness and wealth go hand in hand.
Hard to imagine from the renderings how such a formidable construction project can maintain the habitat on the natural island.
