About this trip

Just when you’re officially over winter, let a little Puerto Rican sunshine, warm ocean air, and much-needed girl time revive your soul.

This is the girls’ trip that actually makes it out of the group chat—four nights designed around R&R, connection, great food, beautiful movement, and the simple luxury of having nowhere else you need to be. And with no passport required and an easy direct flight, it’s the kind of escape you can actually pull off in a long weekend.

We’re intentionally slowing things down with later mornings, leisurely breakfasts, sun-soaked afternoons, and a schedule with room to breathe. We’ll move together, eat incredibly well, explore, spend a day on the water, and still leave plenty of time for the pool, the beach, another coffee, or a conversation that somehow lasts three hours.

Come with your best friend, sister, daughter, or come solo and leave with new ones. Part Pilates retreat, part elevated girls’ trip, and exactly the dose of sunshine, connection, and fun we’ll all be craving come February.

Why Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico gives us everything we want from a winter escape—warm sunshine, turquoise water, beautiful beaches, incredible food, colorful streets, and a culture that makes the island feel vibrant from the moment you arrive. And the best part? Getting there is incredibly easy. No passport required, no international customs, and easy direct flights from the East Coast make San Juan completely doable for a four-night getaway.

Our home in Ocean Park is just 10 minutes from the airport, steps from the beach, and close to some of San Juan’s best restaurants and cafés. From the cobblestone streets and history of Old San Juan to tropical rainforest, Caribbean waters, and long afternoons in the sunshine, there’s so much to experience while still settling into an easy, unhurried island pace. It feels worlds away from February at home—without requiring a full week off to get there.

Activities & Experiences

Our mornings start slowly with late-morning mat Pilates by the pool, followed by a fresh, healthy brunch spread prepared by our private chef. No rushing out the door—just a really good workout, sunshine, and breakfast together before the day begins.

We’ll spend an evening wandering the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, eating our way through the city on a sunset food and walking tour with generous tastings, drinks, local favorites, and time to explore and shop. Another night, we’ll get dressed up and head out for dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants, known for inventive Puerto Rican dishes, craft cocktails, and colorful outdoor dining.

And then there’s our day on the water. We’ll board a luxury catamaran for a day of Caribbean sunshine, snorkeling, swimming, and beautiful beach stops—the kind of day where your only real responsibility is deciding when to jump back in the water.

Afternoons are intentionally ours. Head to the beach, lounge by our private pool, grab a coffee or lunch nearby, explore San Juan, or stay exactly where you are. For anyone craving a little more adventure, we’ll also offer an optional trip to El Yunque National Forest for hiking, swimming, natural waterslides, and a day immersed in Puerto Rico’s tropical rainforest.

We’ll bring it all home on our final evening with a private chef farewell dinner at Villa Azure—good food, a beautiful setting, and one last night around the table with the girls.

Where We’re Staying

Our Home Base for the Week: Villa Azure

For four nights, we’ll call Villa Azure in San Juan’s Ocean Park neighborhood home—a private, beautifully designed beach villa just steps from one of the city’s most gorgeous stretches of coastline.

With 4,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space, Villa Azure gives us the best of both worlds: the feeling of a luxe private escape, with San Juan right outside our door. Think mornings by the ocean, Pilates together at the villa, afternoons around our private heated pool, and plenty of space to linger over breakfast, get ready together, or end the night with a glass of wine.

The villa is filled with natural light, warm wood details, designer interiors, and thoughtful artwork, creating a space that feels elevated without being overly formal. Expansive windows and open living areas blur the line between indoors and out—exactly the kind of place made for a girls’ trip.

Room to Settle In

Villa Azure features a mix of king and queen accommodations across seven bedrooms, giving us options for both shared and private stays. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, so even though we’re sharing one beautiful home, everyone still has a comfortable space of their own.

And the location may be our favorite part. We’re steps from the beach, within walking distance of neighborhood restaurants and cafés, and only about 10 minutes from the San Juan airport.

This isn’t just where we’ll sleep between adventures. It’s our home base for the entire experience—for Pilates, pool time, slow mornings, late-night conversations, and all the little in-between moments that end up being some of the best parts of the trip.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Start the morning with Mat Pilates, followed by another chef-prepared brunch together.

Then, the day is yours! Join us for an optional adventure into El Yunque Rainforest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System. Expect hiking, swimming, natural waterslides, and a completely different side of Puerto Rico.

Prefer a slower vacation day? Stay back and relax by the pool, head to the beach, shop, explore San Juan, book a spa treatment, or do absolutely nothing at all. This is your day to make the trip exactly what you need it to be.

The evening is open to explore and enjoy dinner on your own.

After returning to the villa, we’ll freshen up and come together for our private chef-prepared Farewell Dinner — one last night to eat, drink, laugh, and celebrate an incredible weekend together.
