The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort is home to year-round delights

Located on a former coconut plantation in Puerto Rico nestled between the El Yunque rainforest and the tranquil waters of the Espiritu Santo River, the property welcomes guests following an extensive $60 million renovation and unveils a new dimension of tropical luxury.

“The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort’s transformation has set the stage for the next generation of luxury travelers to the destination,” says José Torres, General Manager. Designed by celebrated Puerto Rican designer Nono Maldonado together with internationally renowned Hirsch Bedner Associates of San Francisco, and inspired by the surrounding sea, sand and foliage, the 139 refurbished rooms and suites boast a light, modern and organic aesthetic in a contemporary and residential setting.

The property also features two private bird sanctuaries, an on-site “green team” led by a marine biologist, four deco turf tennis courts, a St. Regis Kids Club, an ocean-front golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., and numerous trails for biking, walking and running all nestled under the canopy of the tropical setting.
