Nestled in the idyllic Mediterranean town of Altea, Spain, ZEM Wellness Clinic is a very intriguing luxury wellness destination opening for longevity enthusiasts and health coaching experts alike.
With 300 days of sunshine per year, breathtaking sea views, cutting-edge medical technology, and meticulously designed programs, ZEM certainly has a remarkable offer for those looking for in-depth diagnostics, preventative and functional medicine as well as holistic well-being, in ultimate comfort and stunning design. But what truly sets ZEM apart is its people, probably its greatest asset to date.
ZEM people: A Team Like No Other
ZEM Wellness Clinic has assembled a team of trailblazers in their respective fields. Many wellness clinics primarily draw staff from other hospitality or spa-based institutions. At ZEM, the team is comprised of seasoned professionals from advanced medical, nutritional, and psychological disciplines. This approach certainly brings fresh perspectives, innovative methodologies, and a sense of purpose that makes ZEM unique.
David de Cubas García – The Visionary Leader
At the helm of ZEM’s health operations is David de Cubas García, whose impressive resume spans psychology, healthcare management, and leadership. With over 13 years of experience leading large teams and establishing groundbreaking healthcare initiatives, David brings an unparalleled vision for integrating advanced medical care with holistic practices. His leadership is not just about management but about creating an environment where innovation thrives and patient care is personalized and transformative. Needless to say, the expectations are high!
Javier Esterri – The Culinary Maestro
Food is medicine, and no one understands this better than Executive Chef Javier Esterri. He joined ZEM after three years at Palmaïa - The House of AïA. Palmaïa is one of our world’s favorite wellness destinations, and it offers an amazing plant-based gastronomy experience. Javier also worked at SHA Wellness Clinic, so he brings a depth of culinary health expertise that aligns with ZEM’s ambitions.
ZEM Wellness Clinic offers Mediterranean-inspired menus use fresh, organic ingredients sourced from their own Finca Althaya farm, offering guests a farm-to-table experience that nourishes the body and delights the senses. Energetically, it makes a big difference when what you eat comes from a farm close by, all the more when the farm is conducted with positive vibes!
Salvador Talón – The Nutritional Innovator
Salvador Talón, ZEM’s Nutritional Coordinator, is a trailblazer in cellular nutrition and medicinal mushroom research. With 20 years of experience and ongoing academic research in Cognitive Neuroscience, Salvador brings a scientific rigor to ZEM’s nutritional programs. His integrative approach addresses chronic inflammation, mental health, and longevity, ensuring that every meal plan is not just delicious but also deeply therapeutic.
Dr. Luis Navarro Tenedor – The Aesthetic Expert
Aesthetic and regenerative medicine are cornerstones of ZEM’s offerings, and Dr. Luis Navarro Tenedor is the mastermind behind these treatments. With a specialization in hair transplantation and anti-aging therapies, Dr. Navarro combines clinical expertise with cutting-edge research. His focus on skin regeneration and aesthetic rejuvenation ensures that guests leave ZEM not only feeling better but looking radiant as well.
Tanya Álvarez – The Longevity Specialist
Tanya Álvarez, a doctor specializing in Human Genetics, exemplifies ZEM’s commitment to precision medicine, something clients are very much in demand for.
Fluent in multiple languages and with years of experience in predictive and preventive care, Tanya designs personalized programs that address each guest’s unique genetic makeup. Her work is a testament to ZEM’s philosophy of treating the individual, not just the symptoms. It also explains why the programs of ZEM Wellness Clinic are so perfectly designed and balanced, something very hard to achieve for a new destination.
The Place: Where Science Meets Serenity
The clinic’s location in Altea offers a unique natural setting that complements its wellness programs. Perched on the Mediterranean coastline, the facility enjoys a climate that promotes outdoor activities and a lifestyle synonymous with health and happiness. The clinic’s design, with 95 luxurious suites overlooking the bay, encourages relaxation and mindfulness.
ZEM also makes full use of its surroundings with programs that integrate the Mediterranean lifestyle. From the use of locally sourced ingredients in its culinary offerings to outdoor wellness activities that embrace the region’s natural beauty, the location is as much a part of the healing process as the treatments themselves.
The Programs: Personalized and Holistic
ZEM Wellness Clinic doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Its programs are meticulously crafted to address physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Guests undergo thorough assessments to create personalized roadmaps for health, incorporating advanced medical treatments, nutritional guidance, and therapeutic practices.
What we think clients will really like at ZEM is:
- Longevity Programs: Focused on extending healthy years of life through precision medicine and advanced diagnostics.
- Aesthetic Rejuvenation: Cutting-edge treatments for skin, hair, and body to enhance confidence and vitality.
- Boosts: On top of programs, the Boosts aim at addressing specific needs in a very focused and efficient manner, which allows for a very high level of personalization of the experience at ZEM Wellness Clinic.
ZEM Wellness Clinic: A New Standard in Wellness?
What truly sets ZEM apart is its purpose-driven approach. By combining the expertise of a world-class medical team with the natural healing power of the Mediterranean environment, ZEM redefines what a wellness clinic can be. It’s not just about offering treatments—it’s about empowering guests to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
The diverse backgrounds of ZEM’s team bring innovation and authenticity to every aspect of the clinic’s operations. Whether it’s Salvador Talón’s groundbreaking work in medicinal nutrition or Javier Esterri’s artistry in the kitchen, ZEM’s people ensure that guests experience a level of care and expertise that is unmatched. Let’s hope they deliver on the promise to truly collaborate with each other in addressing the guests’ needs, which is extremely efficient but also very hard to achieve in a wellness clinic at scale!
Why ZEM Wellness Clinic Stands Out
ZEM Wellness Clinic Altea is just getting started but already appears to have the potential to become one of the leading wellness retreats. Can we foresee a new paradigm in health and longevity? It’s hard to say at this stage, but we’ll watch in details and test the clinic as soon as possible, and Serenity Ways clients will be the first to know. But already with the stunning location, advanced technology, and well-designed programs, ZEM offer is undoubtedly impressive, and its people make it exceptional. Their passion, expertise, and dedication create an environment where guests can achieve transformative, lasting results.
