The best-looking commercial centre in Orihuela Costa is not to be found by the beach, it is not in the centre of tourist nightlife and certainly not in a vast international shopping complex. It is nestled in the old Spanish community of La Regia, close to Cabo Roig.

Although it is not a very large building; it was built to be pleasing to the eye with exquisite brickwork. There are no ugly canopies fixed to the building. Now, the Sophia Wellness Centre has turned 18 years of age it is just as beautiful now as the day it was born. English is spoken in every business.

Noticeable by its absence, The Sophia Wellness Centre has no bars or restaurants so no late-night business, it is a centre that thrives during the day and is quiet at night. There is never a problem with parking around the centre, even on market day. The main focuses of the centre are physical, social, and financial wellbeing.

Car drivers can exit the N332 at the Cabo Roig pyramid roundabout and follow that road (Calle Isla Formentera) to the last building on the left which is the Sophia Wellness Centre next to a small tranquil park. Many use this route as a shortcut to Iceland (Overseas).
