The Village is no longer taking anymore residents - we will let you know when there is a new village available
Free doctors, specialists and general medical care
If you're planning on becoming a retired resident in Spain, the Spanish National Health
Insurance service and edicines prescribed by health service practitioners will be free of
charge. Prescriptions can be obtained from any local pharmacy.
Nearest GP and hospital
The Hospital De La Inmaculada is one of
the finest hospitals in Spain. Only five
years old and located just 3-kilometres
from the resort, it comprises the latest
equipment and specialist doctors ready to
deal with all aspects of health.
Bilingual doctors
The majority of GPs and doctors at the
hospital speak fluent English. However,
the resort has a number of translators
available 24 hours per day, as well as a
telephone translation service.
GP home visits
For those people with mobility problems
a local GP can be arranged to visit you at
home.
Spanish Health Card
Our employees take care of all the administrative steps needed to provide you with a
Spanish National Health Card. The card will be made available to you on your arrival at
the resort.
Seeking advice
Any person thinking of moving to Spain currently reliant on UK benefits should take
advice on health and benefit entitlements from the UK Department of Work and
Pensions. Call 0191-218-7547 or visit the website: ww.dwp.gov.uk.
Regular health checks
 Regular health checks coupled with access to your medical history can be used to assess
your general health and well-being. Health checks shouldn't be reserved for when you
are feeling unwell, but
carried out periodically to
ensure general health is
maintained.
Conditions such as high
blood pressure may not
produce any obvious
physical symptoms,
however, early detection and
subsequent treatment can
help ensure that you remain
healthy.
Health checks are advised
on a quarterly basis but can
also be provided on request.
Nutritional advice
Professional nutritional advice is an integral aspect of maintaining health and fighting off
illness. A nutrient rich diet will assist in warding off ailments related to bad health and
help promote vitality and longevity.
Nutritional Therapy is not only curative, but also preventative. Individuals with concerns
about future health omplications perhaps linked to their genetics or diet and lifestyle
will benefit tremendously from seeking expert nutritional advice.
Lifestyle coaching
Lifestyle coaching is fully optional but an excellent way for residents to deal with
personal issues. A personal life coach will empower you to be happier, healthier and to
achieve your life's desires and goals. The service is available in your own home or at the
therapist's office.
