You deserve a stay that is good for your mind, body, and soul.
Being in Puerto Rico is a wellness experience in and of itself – it has warm tropical weather all year round, stunning natural landscapes, and a laid-back lifestyle. But you can take your restorative getaway one step further with a visit to some of Puerto Rico’s top resorts that deliver more than just spectacular accommodations and first-class services.
From yoga flows and fitness classes to morning meditations and massage treatments inspired by ancient healing rituals, there are several hotels around the Island that offer unique wellness experiences for travelers to recharge and rebalance.
Dorado Beach Resort, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is a true oasis.
Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Restore your senses at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. This 1950s plantation-turned-resort is infused with the healing power of nature, providing a premier holistic experience.
Find serenity in the hotel’s Spa Botánico, a sanctuary spread across five acres designed to enhance the well-being of all who visit by pairing local botanicals with the indigenous healing traditions of the Island. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a refreshing homemade herbal tea made with plants cultivated on the premises – the perfect way to start a healing journey.
There, you can consult a Mano Santa (the name given to traditional Puerto Rican healers, which translates to “Holy Hand”) to design a custom blend of botanical massage oils for your specific needs. Sway in a hammock while you receive a rhythmic compression massage or experience an unforgettable treatment atop the breezy treehouse while listening to magical tropical sounds. You can also discover and learn about local herbs used for health and beauty when you visit the Apothecary. Complete your spa day with a stroll through the Purification Gardens, which feature waterfall showers and steam pavilions, or along the 11-mile Rockefeller Nature Trail.
