La Botanica Hotel + Wellness Center
La Botanica is absolutely a wellness center. It is a space for rest and restoration. The space can only be described as magical, a quiet retreat in San Juan that is just steps from the beach. Why do we love this hotel?
La Botanica offers a vegan Ayurvedic breakfast. If you are not familiar with the term Ayurvedic, it is a holistic medicinal practice that seeks to balance mind, body, and spirit. Sourced from local farms, their breakfast offerings are designed to be nourishing and healing.
While staying in The White Cottage, I had access to the outdoor kitchen (and shower). There was an additional refrigerator that contained herbal teas and water. So convenient and a simple touch that was a highlight of my stay.
La Botanica is close to the beach, a no more than 10-minute walk brought me to a nice, quiet white sand beach with an ocean front as far as the eye could see. The location so near the beach adds to La Botanica’s allure as a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Morning yoga is another fantastic perk to staying at the Wellness Center. It takes place in the front area lobby surrounded by lush greenery. The yoga class is at 8am daily, is $10 for guests, and is a vinyasa flow with sound healing at the end. A fantastic way to start your day in Puerto Rico.
Lastly, I’m a sucker for design and this hotel gives you “lay back and relax” vibes. From the fountains and gardens to the hammock hanging in The White Cottage to lounge areas throughout the entire hotel, La Botanica gives you space to find your zen.
