Lejos Eco Retreat is a first of its kind landscape hotel in Vieques, Puerto Rico featuring ten thoughtfully designed shipping container suites and offering an exceptional island experience focused on tranquility, comfort and immersion in nature.
The hotel enjoys a privileged location sitting atop a ten-acre plot in the hilly and lush Pilón sector where guests can enjoy awe-inspiring sunrises, sunsets, and hardly any noise or light pollution. Each landscape suite is designed to promote an unplugged experience where nature takes center stage and is beautifully appointed in a minimalist and modern style. Premium amenities such as private outdoor decks and sleek rain showers add to the sense of pampering and relaxation.
The retreat aims to minimize its environmental impact through the use of renewable sources of energy, the implementation of passive solar techniques, water conservation, and rain harvesting practices. Guests are encouraged to participate in green initiatives such as composting organic waste, limiting the use of single-use plastics, choosing to participate in the hotel's linen and towel reuse program, and recommended dark skies practices to minimize the effects of light pollution.
Hotel guests are also welcome to relax and interact at Melao Social Club, a communal space offering inspired small plates based on a sustainable and mostly non-cook menu, and an inventive and minimalist cocktail list alongside seasonal and rotating local brews. Other hotel amenities and services include a 24-hour saline infinite pool and a small gift and provisions shop.
Lejos Eco Retreat is a stunning addition to the hospitality scene in Vieques providing guests with an unparalleled and unique experience that combines excellence in hospitality and a sense of barefoot luxury, while highlighting the island's natural beauty and promoting responsible tourism.
