ZEM philosophy
ZEM, a contraction of “Zen” and “Mediterranean”, embodies a holistic, personalized approach to health. Inspired by Eastern traditions and local ancestral wisdom, the clinic is rooted in a strong concept: live longer, and above all, live better.
The history of the place is mingled with legend. It is said that the Greeks called the nearby river “Althaia Pothamos”, or “river of health”, and that many travellers came here in search of healing and renewal. From this land sprang the ZEM Philosophy, an art of living based on six pillars: integrative medicine, well-being, nutrition, movement, mindfulness and the natural environment. An invitation to slow down and find yourself.
Luxurious light-filled accommodation
ZEM Wellness Clinic Altea, a jewel of contemporary Mediterranean architecture, has been designed to promote calm, light and inner balance. It offers 85 rooms and 10 suites of the highest quality, some designed according to Feng Shui principles, in a warm, uncluttered atmosphere.
Each suite has been imagined as a refuge, where discreet luxury meets environmental awareness. South-facing terraces, with sea or mountain views, flood the spaces with natural light and invite you to slow down. Furniture in Alicante cream marble or local wood, organic cotton sheets, eco-designed shower systems and Guerlain toiletries all contribute to a highly sensory experience. Even the cleaning of the premises is carried out using probiotic products, as part of our respect for the living world.
The most prestigious suites, such as the 200 m² Majestic Suite, offer outdoor baths, private wellness areas and relaxation zones designed for letting go. Silent hospitality, sober and refined, where luxury is expressed without ostentation, through the precision of materials, the fluidity of light, and absolute comfort.
Well-being in all its dimensions
A medi-spa at the crossroads of medicine and innovation
At the heart of the ZEM Wellness Clinic Altea, the ZEM Clinic boasts 32 consulting rooms and a state-of-the-art technical platform. It covers more than 25 specialties, from general medicine to dermatology, genetics, anti-aging, aesthetics and pain management. Our rigorous medical supervision is underpinned by a human and personalized approach that prioritizes the quality of listening and the time given to each patient.
In terms of equipment, the clinic relies on state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology, integrated with a philosophy of sustainable prevention. Emblematic devices include the EMSELLA seat for pelvic floor re-education, VISIA and Intellistudio scanners for ultra-precise 3D body mapping, and theMPT Ultraformer, which uses micro-focused ultrasound to firm the face and figure.
ZEM also stands out for its cutting-edge medical tools, such as intestinal microbiota analysis to better understand the mechanisms of inflammation and autoimmune pathologies, and exosome treatments (Exosomes E-50), derived from stem cell research, to stimulate cell regeneration.
Finally, techniques such as cryolipolysis,hyperbaric oxygen therapy, aesthetic lasers and CTU Mega 20 (used in post-trauma rehabilitation) complete a therapeutic arsenal of the highest precision, always respecting the body and its rhythms.
The Spa ZEMNESS, between water, light and nature
The ZEMNESS Spa covers 4,000 m², including 2,000 m² entirely dedicated to body and mind care.
There are 44 treatment cabins offering face and body rituals based onorganic active ingredients and Mediterranean seaweed. Meditation areas and outdoor Pilates and yoga sessions complete the holistic experience.
In addition, the sensory tour includes :
- a water circuit with outdoor pools to reconnect with nature,
- a snow cabin and ice fountain to stimulate traffic,
- a Himalayan salt cabin, hammam, mud bath, steam bath and biothermal showers for a gradual awakening of the senses,
- 60° and 90° saunas, an infrared sauna, and a water and rain temple with footbath,
- as well as heated beds for extended relaxation.
Everything is designed to provide an environmentally-friendly experience, without the use of chemicals, in a Mediterranean setting enhanced by calm, natural materials and light. And to continue this immersion, the Alhambra-inspired gardens, Andalusian patio and shaded paths are available to you, as a permanent invitation to slow down and breathe.
Signature treatments and immersive experiences
Some of the most memorable experiences invite you to experience a true sensory reconnection. The MLX Quartz treatment, performed on a bed of warm sand, envelops the body in gentle heat to dissipate stress and promote deep relaxation. Another nugget, Welnamis, based on acoustic vibrations and binaural sounds, acts directly on the nervous system to induce an almost instantaneous meditative state. For a complete detox and radiance boost, the MLX i3Dome combines light, plasma and infrared, in a triple-action approach that stimulates metabolism and regenerates tissues. Finally, the Zestos Dryfloat recreates the sensation of weightlessness on a bed of heated water, without ever getting wet, to deeply relieve tension in the back and pelvis.

The cuisine follows the nutritional principles of the ZEM Philosophy, with four personalized plans according to the objectives of each program: detox, regeneration, essentials and raw 80/20 nutrition.
