SHA Wellness Klinik  Amazing location and an exceptional architecture, five independent buildings are connected with bridges. 93 suites, a spacious wellness with pools,  yoga exercising rooms and several relax zones. Above the little village El Albir the wellness clinic is sitting on top just at the border of the Sierra Helada Nature park and as a hotel guest you are looking at the sandy beaches of the coastal town Altea. Opened in 2008 it took a while to convince people of the concept but now the SHA Wellness Klinik is on the map.

The modern macrobiotics got defined by the japanese philosopher Georges Oshawa with an impact on asian food and lifestyle. After the Second World War macrobiotics found a lot of follower in the New Age movement in US and England.  Michio Kushi  was one his students (www.kushiinstitute.org) and adjusted the nutrition a bit to western standards: 50% whole grain, 25% vegetables, 13% bean and sea vegetables, a bit of fish. The cuisine of the SHA Wellness Clinic follows the ideas of Michio Kushi.  The one who’ has difficulties with this rather strict diet, there is the choice of more charming versions named Biolight or SHA.
