Real Clinic, Real Team

Not a faceless app

Costa Health is a multidisciplinary clinic with practitioners in Riviera del Sol and Marbella. Your online GP has a clinical team behind every consultation.

Real Clinic Behind You

Costa Health has real practitioners in Riviera del Sol and Marbella. Your GP has a clinical team they can draw on, not just a directory of strangers.

MSK Triage

Back pain? Joint stiffness? Costa Health can assess whether you need a GP, a chiropractor, a physiotherapist, or an osteopath, saving you time and money.

In-Person Pathway

If a video consultation isn't enough, and urgent home care is required, Costa Health coordinates in-person care through Helicopteros Sanitarios, the Costa del Sol's established 24-hour medical service with over 30 years of experience.

Finding an English-speaking GP in Spain shouldn't mean settling for a different doctor every time.

Costa Health's GPs refer within the team. To a chiropractor for that persistent back pain. To a physiotherapist for post-surgical rehab. Or to Helicopteros Sanitarios for urgent in-person care. The doctor behind the screen has a real clinic behind them.

"Moving to Spain, one of my biggest worries was finding a GP I could trust. Dr Lake made that easy. She is thorough, listens properly, and I never feel rushed. It is like having a good NHS doctor, but with the sunshine."

Common Questions

Medical services FAQs

Can an online GP write prescriptions in Spain?
Yes. Costa Health's GPs can issue electronic prescriptions (receta electrónica) that are accepted at any pharmacy in Spain. During your video consultation, if medication is needed, your GP will send the prescription digitally. You can collect it from your nearest pharmacy without delay. This applies to most standard medications, including antibiotics, pain relief and repeat prescriptions for ongoing conditions.
Is this service available to holidaymakers and tourists?
Yes. You don't need Spanish health insurance or residency to use Costa Health's online GP service. Consultations are in English, so there's no language barrier when describing symptoms or understanding advice. Whether you're visiting for a week or spending the winter on the Costa del Sol, you can book a same-day or next-day appointment online.
What if I need to see a doctor in person?
Costa Health has a partnership with Helicopteros Sanitarios, the Costa del Sol's established 24-hour medical service with over 30 years of experience and a team of 200+ professionals. If your GP determines that a video consultation isn't sufficient, they are concerned and you require urgent home care assessment, they can coordinate an in-person home visit or clinic appointment. For musculoskeletal problems like back pain or joint issues, Costa Health can also refer you directly to one of our in-clinic chiropractors, physiotherapists or osteopaths.
Can the online GP help with menopause symptoms?
Yes. Dr Melanie Lake and Dr Delgado have a dedicated focus on perimenopause and menopause support. They offer thorough assessment, HRT guidance, symptom management and ongoing monitoring. Menopause affects far more than hot flushes. Joint pain, brain fog, anxiety and sleep disruption are all common, and all treatable. All our collaborating doctors take a patient-centred approach that considers the full picture.
How much does an online consultation cost?
Consultations start from 80 euros. This includes the full video appointment, any prescriptions issued during the session, and a follow-up message if needed. Check the booking page for current availability and pricing. No Spanish insurance is required and there are no hidden fees.
