Yancy Wright
CEO/Facilitator/Owner
Welcome
My inspiration in designing and building Casa Alternavida was to create a safe space for people to get away, regroup, and explore life challenges with the support of high quality practitioners and amazing food. After a career burnout resulting in a near death experience in 2012 I realized many people could use a solution like this.
After 10 years of facilitating retreats and renting other facilities on the island and around the world I learned a lot. Our guests consistently share how much they love our authentic, personalized approach and the high level of intention and care they experience from the space and all of our team members. We take pride in the magical moments that happen. Our team of passionate Boricua’s (locals) will likely warm your heart as they have mine. Since this is also my home, they have become family to me. You will have the gift of getting to know this beautiful island through them and become part of our family.
​WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR STAY?
Our All-Inclusive Retreat includes: Pre-arrival assessment, a nature inspired room, three organic meals a day, daily guided nature adventures, morning movement class, and refreshments.
Move Daily
Our morning ritual is a rooftop, sunrise movement class while overlooking the national rainforest followed by a morning nature adventure and afternoon beach walk/swim.
Sleep Soundly
The rooms are programmed energetically to support deep, quality sleep with the support of a nature inspired interior design theme, views to nature, and comfortable beds and pillows.
Eat Cleanly
Our food is medicine for the soul. Our in-house chef, Ivonne Martinez, puts a lot of love and attention into creating culturally rich recipes inspired by her grandmother.

Our guests end up reconnecting to their younger self while here, re-learning how easy it is to laugh and have fun when being present in rich natural settings and being challenged in safe ways.
Additional services are available for guests who want to take their transformation to the next level.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I have never stayed in a retreat space where I experienced as much care, intention, and loving attention to detail as Casa Alternavida. From the level of intention in the design, spirit-infused rooms, to the exquisite meals by chef Ivonne, to the nourishing and deeply meaningful nature excursions, the owner Yancy and his wonderful staff have created a safe, sacred, and magical space for deep inner transformation.
Casa Alternavida was AMAZING! Planning a retreat with them was easy and they thought of all of the details. The staff was phenomenal. The nature adventures were spectacular. The food... OMG... the food YUM. As a retreat facilitator this venue is a MUST. We appreciate the team so much for supporting our event and sharing their gifts with our group
Words really can't express how amazing Casa Alternavida is. We rented the full facility for a 5 night retreat and from the pick up to drop off it was purely magical. As a retreat facilitator I felt fully supported. The food, nature adventures, ceremony and space amplified our retreat in unexpected ways. Every detail intentionally thought out. Every woman cared for. Thank you so much Casa Alternavida! I can't wait to bring the next retreat here.
