After opening its flagship locations in Mexico and Spain, SHA Wellness is launching its third global development in the United Arab Emirates. SHA Emirates Residences, which were announced in collaboration with IMKAN Properties, will be situated on the exclusive island of Al Jurf, which is halfway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The project aims to create the first healthy living island in history by utilizing life longevity research, medical expertise, and technology.
The project will include several pavilions devoted to health and wellbeing, a health resort, the SHA Wellness Clinic, and beachfront homes with a wellness focus.
The homes can only be purchased with an application.
Several opulent services will be available to residents of the SHA Emirates Residences, such as personal trainers, instructors of yoga and meditation, chefs who specialize in healthy cuisine, professionals, physicians, and therapists.
49 apartments, two penthouses, and 86 villas—each with private beach access—will be housed in the “low-density development.” Buyers who express interest will have the option of selecting from Garden Villas with a maximum of seven bedrooms, Beachfront Villas, and Shoreline Villas.
Co-Founder and Vice President of SHA Wellness Clinic, Alejandro Bataller comments, “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 traveled 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 AlJurf.”
Suwaidan AlDhaheri, CEO of IMKAN said: “The partnership between IMKAN and SHA Wellness Clinic has brought SHA Emirates to AlJurf with a shared vision to become a catalyst for health and wellness in the UAE. SHA´s philosophy is that the very best health for mind, body, and soul is attained through marrying optimum nutrition and treatments with external elements of luxurious and relaxing surroundings. This is precisely why SHA Emirates Island will position AlJurf as the first destination in wellness tourism, mirroring our vision for AlJurf. It is without doubt SHA Emirates the ideal setting for our wellness-led project.”
SHA Wellness Clinic has catered to the wellness needs of several high-profile clients including celebrities, business leaders, heads of state, and professional athletes. The clinic has also been awarded across several categories including the “world’s best wellness clinic.”
