Charlie Lapson Picks of the Week

In the latest updates on Team Charlie's Picks of the Week, we take you to the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island is an exotic get-away eight miles off the coast of Puerto Rico. Once a US naval and even a fortress for pirates, this now peaceful island is home to Hotel W’s second retreat and spa worldwide. The island sits on a 30 acre stretch with access to two magnificent beaches. Hotel designer, Patricia Urquiola, in collaboration with Sierra Cardona Ferrer, transformed the island’s rusticity into an elegant and modern sanctuary with dark floors, geometric screens, wood cladding, and B&B Italia furniture (designed by Urquiola herself).

No hotel can bring you villa living the way the W does! It’s simply breathtaking and inspirational. Voted best Caribbean island by Travel and Leisure and featured on Conde Nast Traveler’s 2011 Hot List, W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island is the place to go when you want to free yourself of life’s daily stresses. Allow yourself to get caught up in the tranquility of island living. Spend your days enjoying the water sports, dipping into the infinity-edged pool or diving into the depths of the forever sea. And just when you thought you couldn’t possibly be more relaxed, you can revitalize yourself at the Away Spa by W Hotels. Of course the fun doesn’t stop there! You can sample world class cuisine by Alain Ducasse and enjoy a variety of cocktails at sunset in the hotel’s uniquely designed living room. Book your next vacation to this HOT SPOT with your loved one or alone, and escape to W’s relaxing modern villa living amidst all that nature has to offer.

Happy Island Time!
