Hotel: W Retreat and Spa, Vieques Island

This post is really for the winter-time.. but I can't wait :)

Vieques Island, Puerto Rico.

As recently as 2003 this tiny spot was used by the US military for a far less luxurious purpose.

Today, however, at the W Retreat and Spa, stylish hospitality reigns.

I love these interiors for their originality.

Patricia Urquoila of Studio Urquoila

 passed up the option to fill spaces with rattans and island florals,

and instead created a sophisticated hippy-esque decor vibe, 

fresh when set against clean architecture and stunning vistas.

the Living Room..

into the suites..

 afternoon tete-a-tetes..

cool, dazzling evenings.. sumptuous cuisine by Chef Alain Ducasse..

just the place to spend a week with your Honey in February, 

when Summer is but a dream and sub-zero temperatures have encompassed your entire being..

who's with me?!!

til next time..
