As the wellness sector grows, Discover Puerto Rico, the Island’s official Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), launches the destination’s first wellness retreat offering for leisure travelers and groups. The Island is the ideal destination for those seeking holistic experiences that bring a sense of well-being for the mind, body, and soul.
From exploring natural wonders such as El Yunque National Rainforest, to enjoying the soothing sounds of the native coqui frog, indulging in a world-class spa like the Spa Botánico at Dorado Beach, a Ritz Carlton Reserve, to learning about a sustainable agroecological farm like Frutos del Guacabo, Puerto Rico’s offerings in this space combine wellness, dining (farm-to-table), nature/sustainability and fitness/watersports. The retreat offers group travelers opportunities to connect with the destination and reconnect like never before.
“We’re delighted to launch this new offering for the destination, where the Discover Puerto Rico sales and services team can curate a perfect retreat experience for any group. The global wellness tourism market continues to grow in demand and the Island offers endless opportunities for travelers to relax, restore and rejuvenate,” said Leah Chandler, Chief Marketing Officer of Discover Puerto Rico. “The past few years have made everyone more aware of their lifestyle and the impact on well-being, and the options to create a perfect retreat in Puerto Rico is focused on just that – a varied approach to serenity.”
To bring the retreat to life, Discover Puerto Rico is spotlighting, and collaborating with, local partners from lodging accommodations to tours, dining and more.
