Wyndham Grand Rio Mar PUERTO

The best thing about the beach at the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar may not be the beach. Located on the North Shore of Puerto Rico, it has incredible views and turquoise waters, but its proximity to the El Yunque rainforest really sets it apart. El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. It is a paradise filled with towering trees, cascading waterfalls, natural swimming holes, and rare bird species. The beach is nestled in Rio Grande, a municipality known for its lavish hotels, championship-worthy golf courses, and iconic restaurants. Perfect for those seeking a beachfront locale and one of the world’s most biologically diverse rainforests.

The farthest flung location on our list, VOMO is a leading ecopositive resort, which means that the resort’s environmental initiatives shepherd the continued preservation and safeguarding of Fiji’s delicate marine ecosystem. The property has a marine biologist on staff and is a PADI 5-Star Gold Palm Dive Resort. That means you can submerge yourself in vast schools of butterflyfish and oriental sweetlips or drift the channels with white tips, Giant Trevallies, and Bluefin Kingfish. The property consists of two islands—VOMO, a 225-acre private island with 34 private residences and resort villas; and VOMO Lailai, a smaller island that you can book for your own Robinson Crusoe adventure, like a private picnic complete with sun loungers, beach towels, cold beverages, and a gourmet lunch. The hotel provides a two-way radio so you can call when you’re ready to be picked up or if you just run out of champagne.
