PUERTO RICO RETREAT

Puerto Rico Retreat

Thursday, July 13 - Sunday, July 16, 2023

Yoga. Adventure. Exploration.

Join us for a women-only retreat in Puerto Rico to step away from the titles and responsibilities of your everyday life for a few days to let go and be free in paradise.

Each day you will be led by one of our instructors through a variety of yoga classes and styles.

You'll live like a local in our private retreat center that's located mountainside overlooking a rainforest. Enjoy private river access and watch the "river of clouds" float along in the mornings from your balcony.

With excursions and transfers included, you will find yourself on adventures both by the coast and in the mountains.

This retreat is great for someone with a sense of adventure that wants to experience authentic Puerto Rico away from the average tourist hotspots.

Paradise is calling, will you answer?

All About the Puerto Rico Retreat

As you fly across the Atlantic, leave whatever is not serving you behind and embark on both an adventure and retreat in Puerto Rico.

An included shuttle service will take you on the hour-long drive through the diverse country landscapes brings you to our retreat center on the side of a mountain in the town of Ciales.

Here you will overlook the lush rainforest boasting a choir of tropical birds chirping a welcome song just for you. On the retreat grounds, we will explore hiking trails that take us down to the river, gardens for fresh veggies, yoga as the sun rises, and family-style dinners at night.

We will spend part of our days exploring hidden gems like local beaches, ancient hieroglyphics, and astounding caves.

Puerto Rico is the perfect weekend getaway from the United States, and as a U.S. territory, it doesn't require a passport to travel.

We do ask that guests limit themselves to a carry-on bag and a personal item so that we have enough room in our airport transfer vans.

A full packing list will be sent after booking, but the clothes will be light.

What Makes This Retreat Special?

This retreat gives women a chance to break free from routine and set out on an adventure.

There will be time for connection and self-exploration in the evenings, island exploration through the day, and also time to retreat. You will have some of the best views in the world as you deepen your yoga practice, no matter your yoga experience level.

Like yin and yang, we balance reprieve with adventure in order to restore and recharge your mind, body, and soul.

We recommend this retreat for women who like to go off the beaten path, get their hands dirty, and like challenge their bodies.

We will experience mild to moderate hiking conditions while together in Puerto Rico.

Seasonal Information

Puerto Rico typically experiences daily temperatures around 88°F. As this is a rainforest, daily showers are to be expected. A raincoat is a great option, but you'll find your hosts huddled under a shade tree as we wait for the sun to come back out.
Responsible Travel

We ask that our guests leave nature better than they found it by not leaving any trace of humans behind by not littering. We also ask that guests keep a safe distance from wildlife and do not feed any of the animals.
Electricity & Outlets

In your teepee you will find battery operated lights and a fan. There will also be a battery back that you can use to charge your phone or watch. However, there is only one main outlet, used for cooking and operations. This retreat gives you the space to unplug and connect to nature & self.
How to Get There ( Flights, Airport Transfers, Buses, Trains)

Please book your flight to Luis Munoz Marin (San Juan) International Airport (SJU). Shuttle transfer will be provided from the airport. The shuttle will leave the airport at promptly 3:00 pm on July 12th, if you miss the shuttle it will be your responsibility to find transportation to our retreat center. The returning shuttle is scheduled to arrive back at SJU at 1:00 pm on July 16th. We are giving ourselves 30 extra minutes of drive time but cannot predict local traffic patterns.
Arrive by Car

If you choose to rent a car, we will provide an exact address after the time of booking. The drive from SJU airport to the Retreat Center in Ciales is about an hour. Parking will be free if you choose this method of transportation. Please let us know at the time of booking.
What to Bring

You will receive a detailed packing list a week before your arrival. Generally speaking, you will need clothes that allow movement for yoga and hiking, swimwear, water shoes, and a pair of shoes you don't mind getting dirty. You have the option of bringing your own yoga mat or we can provide one for you.
Travel Insurance Suggestions

While we do our best to hold our retreats rain or shine in order to offer guests the full experience of Earth's elements, we must always put safety first. With that being said, we do recommend travel insurance in the event of dangerous weather. We aim to notify our guests of cancellations at least four days in advance but also recognize that in Florida, severe weather can develop more quickly. Yoga Elements Retreats will refund 100% of what you have paid to us directly and Book Retreats will give you a voucher or refund of the amount that you have paid to them to use on any other retreat in the event that we cancel.
