Escape with us to the island of Vieques and white sand beaches, warm clear blue water, wild horses roaming about, gourmet meals, and deep yoga classes with Emily and Frank
WHEN
Saturday January 6 - Friday January 12
WHERE
Hix Island House lies on Vieques (a very small island just off the coast of Puerto Rico). Hix is a spacious retreat withZen-like architectural elegance and sits on a 13-acre open-air natural refuge of native trees and tall grasses with views of the ocean. Hix Island House offers four unique havens of sustainability based on Wabi Sabi principles and was designed respecting nature (topography, climate, sun, and breeze). The lofts themselves feature framed Caribbean Sea views which are open to warm revitalizing breezes enhancing sleep and contentment. Ecology is celebrated at Hix Island House. Showers are heated by the sun and help to irrigate the surrounding flora. Solar panels power ceiling fans, lighting and well-appointed kitchens. Commercial electricity is minimized leaving a low energy footprint. Hix Island House has the distinguished award of being the first sustainably designed hotel in the Caribbean. The Reception Area, the Events Center, the Yoga Pavilion and the lofts are all open to natural rejuvenating breezes. Hix Island House has no enclosed indoor spaces requiring mechanical air conditioning.
Frank hosted a retreat here many years ago and has been dreaming of a return ever since!
