"A wellness-focused boutique hideaway on Vieques perched atop one of the island’s highest hills, offering a mix of standalone cabins, houses, and multilevel treehouses with outdoor showers and kitchens. The property cultivates a tranquil, nature-forward vibe with a hidden garden pool, a small boutique and café, a yoga pavilion where guests can hear coquí frogs and fruit trees rustling, and a compact but diverse spa menu that spans Ayurvedic therapies, Western massages, and treatments inspired by Chinese traditional medicine." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"It isn't a long drive from the hangar-cum-airport in Vieques, a tropical speck of an island off the east coast of Puerto Rico surrounded by teals, turquoises, and blues, to the stylish guesthouses at Finca Victoria. But wild horses often cross the narrow hillside road, and I had to stop several times to let them pass. By the time I arrived, I had missed breakfast. Luckily, Sylvia De Marco, Finca Victoria's friendly owner, had set a place for me in the alfresco vegan kitchen: Inside a Taíno bowl, a carved wooden vessel named after Puerto Rico's original Indigenous inhabitants, who were known for cultivating a variety of root vegetables, I found mashed pumpkin and malanga topped with caviar lentils cooked in cinnamon broth, avocado wedges, and cilantro grown on the property."
"In Vieques, head to Finca Victoria, where I always stay and where I send New Yorkers. It’s owned by the same people as La Botánica, so it’s Ayurvedic and vegetarian as well. You can take several-day detox programs, or just get massages or do yoga by the pool."
