I went to an A-list wellness spa and found the simple secret to longer life Within the space of a few hours, I’ve been plunged into a bathtub of ice, had some unflattering headgear with electrodes attached to my head and had my blood removed, mixed with oxygen, and put back into my body.
Welcome to SHA Wellness, a new-age clinic with locations in Spain, Mexico, and the UAE, that mixes science with the holistic to offer next-level treatments for the rich, the famous (Demi Moore, Kylie Minogue and Naomi Campbell have all been guests) and the tech bros signed up to their 7-day £5,000 ‘optimal health’ Leaders Progamme.
For those after good old R&R, there’s the SHA menu; for anyone looking to clean up their diet, there’s Biolight; and for people intent on shedding a few pounds, there’s the Kushi menu, a restrictive plan designed for weight loss and detoxification.
Here, the rooftop tranquility pool offers breathtaking views of the Spanish landscape, while everyone is given the A-list treatment, no matter what your budget or what you’ve come for, as Metro soon discovered on a three-day Rebalance and Energise taster programme.
And the answer – apart from writing a piece for Metro – was that I wanted to feel healthier, have more energy, and, most importantly, learn the secret to a longer life.
