The Finca Victoria, a hotel in Puerto Rico, has been transformed into an Ayurvedic retreat. Puerto Rican designer, hotelier and the owner of Finca Victoria, Sylvia De Marco says that she has always had a passion for Ayurvedic medicine, having studied in India and Sri Lanka. As De Marco watched guests extend their stays at the hotel to address health concerns, taking time to detox and restore their body, mind and spirit in a more meaningful way, she was prompted to make the switch from hotel to wellness retreat.
Finca Victoria now offers:
- Personalized consultations and education
- Individual treatments
- Panchakarma detox and weight loss packages
- An Ayurvedic kitchen, using produce from the hotel’s on-site garden
- Casa Botanica, the Ayurvedic herbal pharmacy
- Ayurvedic cooking classes

- Daily yoga, including pranayama, asana sequence and sound healing meditation
