I think we get used to hearing about wellness properties in the U.S., but we don’t very often hear about wellness options in Puerto Rico. A small boutique property called Casa Alternavida is a fantastic choice, if you’re looking for something amazing and tailored to your, or your group’s, specific needs.

Who are they?
The team at Casa Alternavida, consisting of coaches, nature guides, yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindset and energy facilitators, plus massage therapists, focus on the principle that there are healthier ways to balance life and work. They focus on stopping the unconscious addiction to stress, overwhelm, and struggle, and instead focus on a healthy, balanced lifestyle that yields better results.
Rising from what had once been a forgotten structure is Casa Alternavida, a gem that was transformed from the ashes of an old building which was abandoned for seven years.
This boutique wellness retreat stands nestled between the beach and the jungle, serving as a haven for growth-minded individuals and groups, offering an all-inclusive, personalized retreat experience.
