Beachfront Living Foods Wellness Retreat in Rincón, Puerto Rico

The retreat is run by Ann Wigmore Natural Health, a non-profit healing centre whose founder, Ann Wigmore, introduced the Living Foods Lifestyle in 1963. The campus sits inside Reserva Tres Palmas in Rincón, on Puerto Rico's west coast, and is set directly on the beach — you walk out of your room and onto the sand.

A typical day is built around meals and classes. You eat raw, organic, plant-based food prepared on site three times a day, and the programme adds daily education on gut health, personal habits, and the specifics of the Living Foods approach. Guests also get personalised input on their own health situation rather than a single generic schedule for everyone.

The three programme lengths are a 1-Week Intensive, a 2-Week Classic Program, and a 21-Day Transformation Program. They run almost every week from November through August, which makes it easy to slot into a trip without planning a year ahead. Each option is a full residential immersion rather than a drop-in course — you eat, sleep, and take classes on the same property.

What separates this from a standard beach wellness hotel is the food system itself. Every meal is raw and organic, produced on campus, and the point of the stay is that you learn to reproduce it. Guests leave with the method, not just a week of good meals. The setting is quiet — the property is inside a protected reserve rather than in the middle of Rincón's surf-town bar strip — so evenings are calm and the beach out front is the main draw.

The centre is explicitly non-profit and describes itself as a healing centre rather than a resort. Practically, that means the schedule is fixed and the focus is on health education and food, with beach time and rest built in around it. It suits people who want a structured, food-led reset more than people looking for spa treatments and a la carte luxury.
