SHA Wellness Clinic Announces First Property in the Middle East – SHA Emirates at AlJurf
SHA Wellness Clinic has partnered with Abu Dhabi-based
place-maker IMKAN to announce the arrival of SHA Emirates at AlJurf. The unique project is
a result of the prolific collaboration between the developer and the leading European health
and wellness facility.
Dedicated to improving and extending people’s health through the fusion of ancient Eastern
disciplines with cutting-edge Western techniques, SHA Emirates is a product of SHA
Wellness’s unique partnership with IMKAN. The centre will be the third SHA Wellness Clinic
in the world, with the company’s inaugural facility located in Spain and its second recently
announced wellness clinic that will open in Mexico for 2021.
The first SHA Wellness Clinic was developed in Alicante, Spain and was created with an
ethos devoted to improving and extending the health of its guests through a detailed and
bespoke approach. This goal holds true today and the clinic has become globally renowned
for its pioneering clinical methods and treatments.
“After a decade transforming the lives of thousands of people from around the world at our
current location in Spain, we dreamt of crossing the seas to new continents. We wanted
more and more people to benefit from our philosophy of integrative health and well-being.
For years we travelled to dozens of locations in search of the perfect nature, warm weather,
and accessibility to replicate SHA. It was not easy, but we finally found everything we could
imagine and more at the seaside destination of AlJurf, in the United Arab Emirates. The
luxury development is surrounded by wildlife and nestled in a beautiful serene landscape.
It’s the perfect place for people looking to escape city life and recuperate”, said Alejandro
Bataller Pineda, Vice President of SHA Wellness Clinic.“The collaboration between IMKAN and SHA Wellness Clinic has brought SHA Emirates to
AlJurf, with the facility being the first in the Middle East. Our aim is to fully support living a healthy lifestyle and become a catalyst for health and wellness in the UAE. SHA Emirates’
philosophy is that the very best health for mind, body and soul is attained through marrying
optimum nutrition and therapy with external elements of luxurious and relaxing surroundings.
Mirroring our vision for AlJurf, it is without doubt that our second home destination becomes
the ideal setting for our health wellness-led project.” said Walid El-Hindi, Chief Executive
Officer of IMKAN.
AlJurf was built on the UAE’s ancestors’ vision for the nation, offering a tranquil gateway that
is seamlessly integrated with its natural environment. The opening of SHA Emirates at AlJurf
is set to bring world-class treatments to the region for the very first time. SHA Wellness
Clinic has become a benchmark for luxury wellness. Always ahead of every innovation in the
field, the brand has become a global name synonymous of medical advances and
pioneering programs, certified through the almost 100 international awards received during
its 11 years of existence.
Perfectly located along the Sahel Al Emarat (known as the ‘Riviera of the UAE’), SHA
Emirates will span a total of 125,000 square meters along the coast and has been designed
to work in synergy with its surrounding environment. Renowned architects MYAA and
Brewer Smith Brewer Gulf Group have developed the concept which sympathizes with local
materials and provides a sleek design, while making extensive use of the inbuilt features to
limit carbon footprint.
Designed to be constructed using a biophilic approach, SHA Emirates will connect with
nature, featuring clean, white elegant curves and soft-layered edges. With cascading
hanging gardens and panoramic sweeping views of the coastline, SHA Emirates will have
120 rooms and suites.
With a total value of AED 600 million the wellness clinic and resort further AlJurf’s aim to

the very best mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
