Private Eating Disorder Treatment in Spain
Sea Recovery offers confidential, one-to-one eating disorder treatment for adults — delivered with emotional safety, dignity, and compassion in a luxury retreat setting near Marbella, Spain.
We provide tailored support for people with eating disorders, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, in a non-clinical environment guided by licensed mental health professionals. Our one-to-one treatment helps you explore your relationship with food, identity, emotions, and body image with care — supported by a team trained in treating eating disorders holistically and compassionately.
When Food Becomes Emotional
Eating disorders are rarely about food. They're about pain, identity, control, grief, safety, and self-worth. Whether it's restriction, bingeing, purging, overexercise, or obsession — the behaviour is often a strategy to manage something deeper. These patterns often emerge from early family therapy dynamics, emotional trauma, or feelings of unworthiness.
For many adults, eating disorders are closely tied to perfectionism, unprocessed trauma, relational wounds, or nervous system dysregulation. You might appear high-functioning while experiencing compulsive thoughts, fear of weight gain, shame, and social withdrawal. It’s exhausting — and often misunderstood.
Our approach supports you emotionally, physically, and relationally. We do not centre our work around calories, control, or compliance. Instead, we work with eating habits, shame patterns, treatment plans that evolve with your needs, and your emotional safety — with full privacy and professional guidance throughout.
Types of Eating Disorders We Support
- Anorexia Nervosa or chronic restriction and body image preoccupation
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED) or compulsive overeating
- Bulimia — cycles of bingeing and purging
- Orthorexia — obsessive control around “clean” or “healthy” eating
- Disordered eating mixed with anxiety, OCD, or trauma
If your relationship with food or body is impacting your peace, health, or relationships — we offer support, whether or not you have a clinical diagnosis. We help clients who have previously tried treatments for eating disorders or who are new to the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of eating disorders do you treat?
We support adults experiencing anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, compulsive exercise, and mixed disordered eating — even without formal diagnosis.
Can I come if I’m not underweight?
Yes. Disordered eating can affect people of all sizes. Our focus is on emotional healing and self-worth, not weight.
Do I need a referral from a mental health professional?
No referral is needed. We welcome self-enquiries and offer an initial consultation to understand your story and goals.
Will I be forced to eat or follow a strict meal plan?
No. Our work centres on emotional safety and autonomy. Food plans are collaborative and supportive, never rigid or enforced.
Do you work with clients who’ve already tried other treatments?
Yes. Many of our clients have been through clinics, support groups, or CBT before. We offer a deeper, one-to-one experience focused on emotional healing.
What if my eating disorder is linked to trauma or identity?
We integrate trauma-informed therapies and identity work into all treatment — including IFS, TRE, and relational support. Emotional nuance is welcome here.
