Ritz Carlton Dorado Beach

Dorado Beach is located along the Atlantic coast of Puerto Rico, just under an hour from San Juan.

The collection of rooms, suites and residences are split between the East and West Beaches, each offering gorgeous ocean views. Seamlessly blending indoors with out, they feature local materials such as coral, stone and wood, and feature floor to ceiling sliding doors, rainforest showers and deep soaking tubs. Some residences also offer private plunge pools and rooftop terraces.

The cuisine at the Ritz Carlton reflects the Spanish, American and Caribbean influences of Puerto Rico. The signature restaurant, Mi Casa by José Andrés, sits on the beachfront and excels in Spanish cooking, while Encanto Beach Club Bar & Grill cooks up delicious grilled meats and local seafood. Enjoy small bites and alfresco lunches at the Positivo Sand Bar, or Puerto Rican coffee and homemade gelatos at La Cocina Gourmet Market.

With an array of beach activities, take to the water for diving, kayaking, surfing or kite boarding, while on land you can opt for a treatment in an open-air treehouse at the spa, or play a round of golf at the 18-hole course. In you’re feeling more active, follow the 11-mile Rockefeller Nature Trail, a fascinating open-air sanctuary that takes you from land to sea.
