Tucked away on Puerto Rica’s Caribbean coast lies Dorado Beach, A Ritz Carlton Reserve. Just a 35-minute drive from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín Airport, the secluded oceanfront sanctuary is situated within an immaculate estate built by financier and conservationist Laurance Rockefeller in the 1950s. Fringed by swaying palms and mango trees, the resort has been thoughtfully designed to blend in with the idyllic surroundings.

The most exclusive abode is the Five Bedroom Villa. Ideal for families and larger groups, the 6,600-sq-ft property can comfortably host up to 12 guests. Located just steps from the Atlantic Ocean, the villa is the perfect place to soak up the stunning sea views. The monochromatic interiors are luxurious yet laid-back with floor-to-ceiling windows bathing the rooms in natural light.

There is plenty of space for entertaining; the residence features an expansive living and dining area, with a private chef on-hand to whip up gourmet meals and a personal embajador to take care of any special requests.

The luxurious villa boasts five bedrooms and seven full bathrooms including a sprawling master bedroom with a king-size bed, hot tub and rainforest outdoor shower. Sliding glass doors open onto an enormous terrace dotted with comfy sofas, loungers and sunshades. Here guests can while away a lazy afternoon by the infinity pool, and, when evening falls, dine al fresco under the stars.

The Five Bedroom Villa is kitted out with all the best tech, including a flat screen TV, Bose wireless speakers in the bathrooms and an iPhone docking station. Elsewhere at Dorado Beach, A Ritz Carlton Reserve, guests can indulge in treatments inspired by traditional manos santos practices at Spa Botánico, visit COA Restaurant to sample culinary delights cooked in a traditional Spanish wood-burning oven, and tee off at the resort’s 18-hole golf courses.
