For light snacks, there is the SHA Café & Juice Bar, where smoothies, freshly squeezed juices, herbal teas, healthy desserts, and snacks are served — all perfectly aligned with the hotel’s wellness programs. Guests can stop by before training, enjoy a snack after spa treatments, or relax in the evening while watching the sunset.

A special highlight is the masterclasses and workshops held for guests. SHA’s chefs share their knowledge of healthy eating, teach how to compose balanced menus, and demonstrate how to combine foods to maintain health and energy in everyday life.
