Four Seasons will soon manage an exquisite beachside property in Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has unveiled plans to expand its Caribbean presence by taking the helm of a premier beachside property at Bahia Beach in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The new Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Puerto Rico is set to open in late 2025, marking the luxury brand’s debut on the island. Situated on a vast expanse of 483 acres of pristine greenery, the resort is surrounded by the vibrant natural beauty of Puerto Rico. The existing property will undergo significant renovations to align with the exceptional standards of Four Seasons while preserving the local environment. This approach ensures a harmonious connection between the resort and its spectacular surroundings.

Bart Carnahan, President of Global Business Development, Portfolio Management, and Residential at Four Seasons, highlighted Puerto Rico’s status as a top-tier destination in the Caribbean. “Puerto Rico is the perfect location to bring legendary Four Seasons service and experiences to locals, visitors, and residents alike,” he stated. “We are honoured that our partners at Paulson Puerto Rico have chosen Four Seasons to usher such an exquisite beachfront property into its next chapter.”

The reimagined property will feature 139 guest rooms, suites, and 85 Private Residences, with additional existing units joining the residential portfolio. Located just 30 minutes from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, the resort offers international and local travellers a convenient yet tranquil escape. Meyer Davis, a leading design firm with a history of collaborating with Four Seasons properties worldwide, will oversee the enhancements. The design approach will focus on creating a modern and natural aesthetic that seamlessly integrates with the property’s surroundings, offering guests a sense of calm and connection.

John Paulson, Founder of Paulson & Co., emphasized the project’s potential to enhance Puerto Rico’s appeal. “Puerto Rico is thriving as a luxury leisure destination for travellers and homeowners,” he remarked. “We are confident that our partnership with Four Seasons will deliver exceptional value to the island and further elevate our resort and residences located in one of the most stunning and unique places in the world.”

The new Four Seasons Resort and Private Residences Puerto Rico will cater to both guests and residents with an impressive range of amenities. These include two miles of sandy beaches, walking trails, multiple pools, tennis courts, and a world-class 18-hole golf course. The site boasts breathtaking views of the ocean, rainforest, and nearby lakes, creating an immersive experience for visitors.

The property will also host a spa and fitness facilities, a variety of dining options, and spaces designed for events and gatherings. Culinary highlights include a lobby lounge and bar, a poolside grill, a speciality restaurant, and a new oceanside dining venue. Guests will also benefit from easy access to Puerto Rico’s cultural and natural landmarks, such as El Yunque National Forest and Espiritu Santo River State Preserve, both located nearby.

One of the key aspects of the renovation is an upgraded arrival experience, where guests will be welcomed with uninterrupted ocean views. The lobby will be redesigned as a serene space that fosters connection and relaxation, while the pools will be repositioned to enhance their views of the ocean. Cabanas, a steam room, and sauna facilities are part of the upgraded spa experience, adding further layers of luxury and wellness to the property.

The addition of this property reflects Four Seasons’ continued expansion in the Caribbean, where it operates resorts and residences in Anguilla, The Bahamas, and Nevis, alongside upcoming projects in Belize and the Dominican Republic.
