On the island of Mallorca, a tranquil Mediterranean haven, The Balance stands as a world-leading clinic specialising in mental health, addiction treatment and wellness. Offering the perfect environment for individuals to reclaim balance in their lives, this renowned facility seamlessly blends medical care with personalised luxury in an elegant Mallorcan finca-style residence.

Founded by entrepreneur Abdullah Boulad, the story behind The Balance is both remarkable and inspiring, reflecting a profound personal journey. Boulad dedicated himself tirelessly to his work, often at the expense of his own wellbeing. However, when a tragedy struck his family, the overwhelming stress took a serious toll on his health, culminating in a heart attack that forced him to reevaluate his priorities. This pivotal moment led to a period of introspection and extensive research into rehabilitation practices, giving rise to The Balance.

Recognising the opportunity for growth in Mallorca, Boulad transferred his extensive entrepreneurial experience from Switzerland to the island, turning his personal challenges into a compelling mission to assist others. With over 30 years of expertise in finance, real estate and healthcare, he brings invaluable knowledge and insights to the centre, establishing it as a true sanctuary for individuals seeking healing and balance.

So, why Mallorca? Boulad recognised that the environment is a vital component of the healing journey, which is why he chose a location with exceptional weather throughout the year. Surrounded by lush greenery and the Mediterranean Sea, the island offers numerous opportunities to reconnect with nature. The luxury fincas for guests are thoughtfully designed to emphasise spaciousness, as it is believed that a view of open landscapes can help to clear the mind and promotes a sense of tranquillity. Each finca is fully equipped with the amenities to support treatments, yoga and fitness classes.

Three programs are available, tailored to address a variety of needs: the rehab clinic, the sense wellness clinic and the cogniful therapeutic community.

The Balance Rehab Clinic specialises in addiction and mental health treatment and recovery, offering exclusive one-on-one care in a private villa. Guests enjoy personalised hospitality that includes a 24/7 manager, a private chef and a team of medical and clinical professionals, ensuring an unparalleled recovery experience.

The Senses Wellness Clinic focuses on wellness and longevity, specifically tailored for high achievers and athletes seeking a renewed sense of vitality. Through a thoughtfully designed programme that blends medical expertise with holistic treatments, they aim to boost the body’s natural healing capabilities and foster a profound sense of wellbeing.

The Cogniful Therapeutic Community is ​​centred on treatment and recovery in group settings. This programme aims to blend the benefits of personalised care within a supportive group environment, fostering connection and collective healing.

‘Our team work like an orchestra: communicating and evolving the treatment in real time. The song we play depends wholly on each client,’ says Boulad. What truly distinguishes The Balance is its unwavering commitment to providing highly personalised care for every individual. Each client receives round-the-clock care from a world-class team of therapists, psychiatrists and holistic health professionals, ensuring a tailored approach to their unique needs within the programmes. This individualised care goes beyond traditional treatment methods, fostering a deeper connection and promoting long-lasting mental and physical wellbeing.

The clinic is unique in its multifaceted approach to wellness, seamlessly blending the most advanced techniques for mental health, addiction treatment and holistic wellness. Its range of therapies includes neurofeedback, Rolfing, chi kung, acupuncture, sound healing therapy and yoga.

‘Mental health has a biology of its own. Trauma has a biology. Our feelings and experiences can stay stored in the body long after they happen, affecting how our nervous system develops, functions and regulates. This can manifest as tension, tumours in the stomach, or hypervigilance, for example, in a child that lived in fear for years,’ says Gita Chaudhuri, director of psychotherapy. She goes on, ‘It’s the neurobiology we must look at when we approach treatment.’

It’s no secret that the gut is often referred to as the “second brain”, playing a crucial role in our overall mental health. At The Balance, this connection is deeply understood and integrated into their approach with a focus on eating the right foods to sustain the best health. Brummell was fortunate enough to have our meals prepared by Maria Salinas, head chef for the US Olympic team for Paris 2024, who collaborated with the team to create a personalised menu. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared to meet our individual preferences and requirements. The experience not only demonstrated how delicious healthy eating can be but also highlighted its role in restoring overall wellbeing.

The Balance in Mallorca offers an unparalleled experience of luxury, recovery and rejuvenation. Every detail is meticulously designed to provide exceptional comfort and personalised care, with hospitality that is truly world class. Set in a serene, restorative environment surrounded by nature, the location is perfect for healing and renewal.

The range of treatments is as diverse as it is transformative, addressing mental, physical and emotional needs. Yet this only scratches the surface. Beyond Mallorca, The Balance also extends its life-changing services to Zurich, London and offshore locations, delivering a truly luxurious, life-changing experience that redefines wellbeing, leaving clients revitalised and empowered.
