Set beside the glittering sea and white sand beaches of Spain’s fabulous Costa del Sol, the 5-star Healthouse Las Dunas GL Health & Beach Spa is staffed with professionals dedicated to helping guests achieve their wellness goals. Opened in April 2014 and located close to Marbella’s historic center, each of the seaside property’s 55 opulent suites reflects an absolute dedication to stylish comfort, with cheeky touches such as the giant green apples gracing the poolside tables.

Weeklong and multi-week programs are customized to each guest, taking into consideration personal weight objectives, nutritional needs, fitness and stress levels, with an added anti-aging and detoxification focus. The gracious team of medical, nutrition and fitness experts create an atmosphere of soothing support. The grounds include lush gardens, a heated outdoor pool and a nearly 10,000-square-foot spa — complete with a salt cave. Perhaps best of all, the menu was created by Basque chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, whose two-Michelin starred restaurant Mugaritz was rated sixth best worldwide. Instead of celery sticks, guests dine on lobster salad and caviar, lighter versions of risotto and Catalane cream with strawberries.
