The private coastal oasis features plenty of greenery and white sand beaches that are only accessible to residents and guests.
This haven was chosen due to its access to nature, sea and warm climate. It is said to be the ideal environment to “connect with and prioritise health and wellbeing.”The wellness clinic will provide services for residents available around the clock, from doctors, therapists and yoga and meditation instructors to chefs who specialise in healthy cooking and personal trainers.
Co-founder and vice president of the Sha Wellness Clinic, Alejandro Bataller wants to make it possible for “more people to benefit from our philosophy of integrative health and wellbeing.”
He says that the location is the “perfect natural environment” to create the world’s first healthy living island.The island was created through thoughtful orientation, minimising energy consumption through energy-efficient appliances and solar-powered heating which underscores their dedication to sustainability and to pay homage to the location.
CEO of Imkan, Suwaidan AlDhaheri says: “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.”
