Wellness brand SHA has opened its highly anticipated Mexico outpost, part of the first phase of its global expansion plans.

Building on the success of its debut clinic in Spain, the new SHA Mexico is located in the state of Quintana Roo, in the eastern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula. An opening in the UAE meanwhile is currently slated for 2025.

SHA Mexico embodies the brand’s commitment to health and wellbeing through its architecture, rising above the Mayan jungle with a form inspired by the human genome. Designed by Mexican architectural firm Sordo Madaleno and interior designer Alejandro Escudero, the property seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors through an organic, sustainable and contemporary feel. Thoughtfully selected natural materials such as Mexican ceramics, wicker, autochthonous textiles and marble, in combination with the use of renewable energies, will minimise the environmental impact of the hotel on its biodiverse location.

The complex itself comprises 35 residences and 100 oceanfront guestrooms and suites, each with private balconies that offer panoramic vistas of the Caribbean Sea, and bathrooms fitted with rain showers. Lush tropical gardens have been curated by Maat Handasa, who designed the landscape to respect the natural surroundings.

The brand’s expansion programme has been developed by AB Living Group, the owning and operating group behind SHA, whose decision to move to Mexico came following in-depth analysis of various locations, their climate and surrounding environment, alongside connectivity and access to clinic resources.

“I am thrilled to witness the realisation of our vision as SHA Wellness Clinic opens its doors in Mexico, marking a new chapter in integrative health and wellbeing,” says Alejandro Bataller, Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer of AB Living. “Our commitment to transformative health experiences and unparalleled hospitality is now extended to the heart of Mexico, inviting individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery and optimal health. This is not just an inauguration; it’s a celebration of a harmonious blend of nature, science and luxury, creating a sanctuary where balance is not just achieved but embraced.”
