W Retreat & Spa Vieques Island – Thanksgiving Weekend 2011
I recently returned from a lovely weekend at the W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island (Puerto Rico). Upon my arrival at Vieques airport, I was immediately greeted at the W airport lounge and soon after whisked away to the W Retreat & Spa. The friendly staff graciously upgraded me to a beautiful, chic oceanfront room - which was stylishly designed with colorful artwork and a luxurious sunken tub.
The W Retreat & Spa is beautiful and stays true to W’s signature style - it features a secluded private beach where you can get away from it all, two outdoor pools with a bar so you stay hydrated all day long, and poolside cabanas (useful while catching a break during sporadic sunshowers in PR). And if you ever wonder ”who’s gonna ride your wild horses” (as Bono would say) - W Vieques has the answer. Wild horses gracefully mill around the property and even make appearances during morning yoga sessions! Relaxing hammocks appear throughout the property where you can just chill, take in the ocean breeze, and catch a snooze. Pamper yourself with a massage overlooking the ocean at the Away spa - (I met the lovely new spa director, Jennifer Findlay, who said to stay tuned for more exciting yoga and spa offerings going forward). And if you’re a fan of glowing sea creatures… the Bioluminescent Bay Tour will wow you with bright critters while kayaking all around.

P.S. If you’re planning a visit be sure to check out Vieques Airlink, unless of course you fancy a long swim from San Juan…
Wow! Vieques sounds amazing! Looks like the perfect vacation spot for relaxation and tranquility! Thanks for posting!
These words are sweating jealousy – I particularly loved the horses as the icing on the cake
