What Luxury Rehab in Spain Really Means

Luxury is not an aesthetic. It is an environment that makes clinical work possible. Private suites, quiet outdoor space, nourishing food and a humane pace help the nervous system settle so you can think clearly and feel safely. Our centre in Sotogrande near Marbella is deliberately non institutional. You have your own ensuite, direct access to light and air, and a rhythm that respects your capacity. See more in our in house amenities and accommodations.

We specialise in clients who have outgrown group based models. If you value discretion, prefer quiet over crowds and want thoughtful, evidence based care, our one-to-one model may be the right fit.

Why Choose Spain for Recovery

Spain offers more than a change of scenery. Warm weather, outdoor living and distance from local triggers create room to reset. Many clients tell us that stepping outside familiar roles and pressures unlocks change that was hard to access at home. Southern Spain’s coastal rhythm supports sleep, appetite and energy so therapy can go deeper without overwhelm. Learn more about our location.

Where in Spain and what the climate is like

We are in Sotogrande on the Costa del Sol, within easy reach of Marbella. The microclimate brings long daylight hours and mild winters. Even simple things like morning walks and meals outside support circadian rhythm and mood. For travel, most clients use Malaga or Gibraltar airports with private transfer to the villa.

Sea Recovery vs Typical Spanish Clinics

Privacy in practice

Privacy is a daily practice. We operate from an unbranded villa with controlled access and discreet movement. Device windows are agreed so essential work or family contact does not derail therapy. See our technology policy. Staff keep footprint light, conversations contained and routines predictable. If your situation requires extra documentation, we can arrange confidentiality agreements where appropriate.

Who We Support

Adults who value privacy, emotional depth and a steady pace. Many are professionals, founders, creatives or carers. Some carry public responsibilities and require enhanced confidentiality. Others simply need quiet space where they do not have to manage other people’s energy or share in groups.

What is included in fees

Fees cover private accommodation, daily one-to-one psychotherapy, agreed body based sessions, chef prepared meals and clinical coordination. Transfers, medical detox, extensive diagnostics or specialist consultations are arranged as needed and itemised separately. We keep scope clear so there are no surprises.

Dietary, accessibility and language support

We regularly accommodate gluten free, dairy free, low histamine and plant forward preferences. Please tell admissions about allergies or religious requirements. Step free access is available in core areas and described in our amenities guide. Interpreters or bilingual support can be arranged for sessions and admission where needed.

Is Spain the Right Choice for You

Spain suits clients who want space from local triggers, warmer light and a calmer daily rhythm. It is a good fit if privacy matters or if you work better away from familiar expectations. It may not be ideal if you require frequent in person family sessions that are hard to organise abroad, or if you need daily access to a local community. We can coordinate family involvement by video and plan structured visits when helpful.

Travel, Visas and Arrival

Most clients fly into Malaga or Gibraltar. Our team can arrange private transfers to the villa in Sotogrande. UK, EU and many Middle Eastern clients can enter Spain for short stays without complex paperwork. If you need a supporting letter for travel or a visa appointment we will provide documentation and itinerary details. On arrival day we keep the window light, confirm boundaries and begin with gentle regulation so you can decompress from travel.

Costs and Value Compared with the UK and Switzerland

Spain offers a favourable balance of privacy, climate and value. Many clients compare us with high end Swiss providers and UK clinics. Switzerland is often the most expensive and can still be group led. The UK can feel close to triggers or public exposure. Our model focuses on one-to-one time, privacy and an unbranded setting, which is what many clients value most. For a deeper comparison see Rehab UK vs Spain. We provide itemised proposals and keep scope clear so you know exactly what is included.

Coordination with Your Existing Clinicians

Where helpful we speak with your therapist, psychiatrist or GP to understand context, medication history and risks. With consent we agree a simple information flow for your stay and a handover plan for discharge. This avoids gaps and keeps your longer term support aligned with the work you do in Spain.

Who This Is Not For

We are not a locked psychiatric unit and we do not run intensive group programmes. If you require inpatient medical stabilisation or secure observation we will advise safer alternatives. If you want a large community setting or daily peer groups, a traditional clinic may be a better fit. We are purpose built for clients who want quiet, privacy and focused one-to-one work.

Case Vignette

A client in her thirties arrived from London after multiple attempts at group based programmes. Presenting issues included alcohol misuse, panic and insomnia. We began with sleep protection, short breath cycles and TRE to reduce hyperarousal. Daily CBT targeted catastrophic thinking and DBT skills reduced reactivity. Family sessions clarified boundaries and phone windows were set to protect recovery. She transitioned to a lighter weekly structure with remote check ins and reports stable sleep and fewer impulsive decisions at three months.

Second vignette

A founder in his forties arrived with decision fatigue and burnout after a period of stimulant use. We stabilised sleep, reduced exposure to work inputs and used MET to align goals with realistic commitments. One-to-one sessions focused on boundary setting and values led routines. He returned home with a clear evening protocol, a weekly review and scheduled remote sessions. At six months he reports lower reactivity and consistent adherence to a low risk plan.

• Comfortable clothing for therapy, rest and light movement
