Private Rehab in Europe: One-to-One Emotional Recovery at Sea Recovery, Spain

Sea Recovery is one of Europe’s most trusted private rehab destinations — offering one-to-one emotional, psychological, and addiction support in a confidential luxury villa in Southern Spain. Designed for those who cannot afford exposure, overwhelm or failure, we provide deeply attuned, personalised care for adults facing burnout, trauma, mental health issues and addiction collapse.

We are not a traditional rehab clinic. We are not group-based. Our model is entirely individualised, built around the human being — not the diagnosis. For clients across the UK, Middle East and Europe seeking privacy, discretion, and emotional depth, Sea Recovery offers a space where they can pause, reset, and recover without pressure or performance.

Private Location in Southern Spain

Our centre is based in Sotogrande, an exclusive enclave on the Andalusian coast between Marbella and Gibraltar. Known for its calm energy, unbranded luxury, and secure environment, Sotogrande is home to a quiet community of high-net-worth individuals, athletes, and families who value privacy and quality of life.

Sea Recovery is discreetly tucked away in this region — far from city noise or public exposure. With easy access via Malaga or Gibraltar airports, our clients arrive into a calm Mediterranean setting where recovery can begin privately, at their own pace. Learn more about our location and lifestyle via Life at Sea Recovery.

What We Treat

We specialise in treating clients with complex emotional and behavioural profiles — including those who have not responded to group rehab, have relapsed after prior treatment, or who have masked their pain beneath high-functioning roles.

Visit our complete overview at What We Treat, or explore the key areas below:

• Alcohol Addiction — binge drinking, functioning alcoholism, high-pressure environments
• Drug Addiction — cocaine, opiates, prescription misuse, marijuana and polydrug use
• Eating Disorders — restrictive, binge-purge cycles, food control, exercise compulsion
• Behavioural Addictions — including gambling, sex & love, internet use, workaholism, and food
• Dual Diagnosis — clients facing addiction alongside underlying depression, anxiety or trauma
• Depression, emotional flatlining, grief and emotional shutdown
• Anxiety, OCD, trauma-related panic and hypervigilance
• Adult ADHD — emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, burnout
• Identity & Self-Worth Collapse — shame, emotional numbness, lost sense of self
• Trauma & PTSD — complex, relational, or developmental trauma

We also help clients experiencing late-stage burnout and high-functioning collapse. These are people who appear “fine” — but are exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly spiralling behind the scenes. When performance is no longer possible, Sea Recovery offers a soft place to land.

Private Villa-Based Rehab

Sea Recovery is not clinical or crowded. Our villa has been designed as a true home — a sanctuary space with light-filled therapy rooms, ocean views, and space to breathe. You’ll never share a bedroom. You’ll never sit in group rooms. Every detail is curated around emotional safety and personal dignity.

• Private suite with en-suite bathroom
• On-site chef with curated nutritional plans
• Daily one-to-one therapy, tailored to your emotional state
• Therapy lounges, outdoor reflection spaces, and private gardens
• Access to body-based therapies, movement, and breathwork

Our team includes psychotherapists, coaches, trauma specialists, and therapeutic support staff — each trained to hold depth, resistance, and collapse without shame. Learn more about our therapeutic environment on our Programmes page.

Therapies We Offer

Our model integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with body-focused, expressive, and relational healing methods. Every client receives a bespoke therapy plan based on emotional readiness, capacity, and goals. There is no groupwork. There is no pre-set timetable. Your recovery is your own.

Why Choose Private Rehab in Spain?

Who It's For — and Who It's Not

Sea Recovery is ideal for:

• Executives, creatives, entrepreneurs, and caregivers in collapse
• Individuals needing discretion, confidentiality and emotional safety
• Clients with dual diagnosis, trauma, and non-linear recovery patterns

We are not suitable for clients requiring 24/7 psychiatric supervision, court-ordered treatment, or emergency detoxification on arrival. However, pre-arrival detox can be arranged where required, supported by our partner clinical teams.

Aftercare & Long-Term Support

Recovery does not end when you leave. We offer full-spectrum aftercare, relapse planning, and guidance to help you integrate emotional changes into daily life:

• Relapse prevention and life skills
• Therapeutic coaching and behavioural support
• Lifetime alumni check-ins and ongoing connection

We stay with you through relationship transitions, career adjustments, or future therapy needs. For us, care is not a timeline — it’s a relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I stay?

We recommend a minimum of 14–21 days. Most clients stay for 3–6 weeks, depending on their emotional needs and therapeutic goals.

Is Sea Recovery licensed?

Yes. We work with fully licensed mental health professionals, trauma specialists, and addiction experts. Our facility operates under Spanish private healthcare guidelines in collaboration with local medical partners.

How private is it?

Sea Recovery is one of the most private rehabs in Europe. We take only a few clients at a time, and everything is one-to-one.

What’s the difference between Sea Recovery and other rehabs?

Unlike most European centres, we do not offer groups or shared spaces. Our one-to-one model gives each client full focus, full privacy, and the emotional safety to be real — not perform recovery.
