Can you see yourself on the beach in Puerto Rico this January?

Come join me for an experience of a lifetime! Shape up, and chill out in the mountains of luscious San Juan, Puerto Rico, a very exciting new holiday destination, offering great breaks on the path less travelled! Puerto Rico is an American territory set in the Atlantic and Caribbean waters, just 1.5 hours from Miami, and 10 hours from London. No jet lag, as there is only 4 hours time difference! Pristine mountain waterfalls, glorious unspoilt beaches, surf lessons, 25 degree temps all winter, hiking trails, diving , dancing, yoga!, Pilates, and a strong local culture, cities and towns brimming with history and locals happy to proudly tell you about it.
Casa Grande Mountain Retreat (www.hotelcasagrande.com) is an oasis of peace and tranquility, set in a stunning valley on 107 lush tropical cuerdas less than 2 hours from San Juan city. The former coffee plantation, now exquisitely landscaped, has 20 rooms scattered up the mountainside, each with private bathroom, balcony and hammock. A fresh water swimming pool is cradled beneath a green mountain vista. All classes will be held in the gorgeous 900sq foot fully equipped yoga centre. All meals are served in the cafe, offering international dishes, vegetarian and non-veggie options available.
Casa Grande Mountain Retreat has won Best Green Hotel travel awards for several years running. Reviews at www.tripadvisor.com are great. The owner is an American lawyer from New York City, now retired, and retrained as a yoga teacher! Steve is an amazing host and has taken about 15 years to create the Casa Grande as we see it today.

Afternoons are free every day, for beach visits, lounging at the pool, hiking trails, playing in the waterfalls, etc. We will take 1 day a week off to go on a day trip, exploring the island, having a surf lesson, visiting historical sites and sailing across jungle canopies enjoying the forests from an ariel view!
Phewww! There's something for everyone. Have quiet time, chill out and do a few classes a day, or be super active and do it all!
I would advise staying your first night in the Old San Juan town on arrival from London. It's a magical old, old town with some lovely restaurants, music and dancing too! Also, hiring a rental car between 3 or 4 friends would also be a good bet, as the retreat centre is tucked away in the mountains, with no public transport. Airfare quoted at £624 was a Virgin flight, London to San Juan, which seems to be quickest travel time, however you can choose your own flight, and carrier.
