WELCOME TO THE ST. REGIS BAHIA BEACH RESORT PUERTO RICO Let your journey to Puerto Rico begin at The St. Regis Bahia Beach, where pristine waters and savoring cocktails meet the heart of the Caribbean. Located on the north eastern corner of this enchanted island you will find the town of Rio Grande and The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort.

Situated on 483 acres of a former coconut plantation and maritime forest, the Caribbean is delighted to present its first AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rated resort and only Certified Gold Audobon Signature Sanctuary in the Caribbean.

Throughout the grounds of this regal resort, pleasure will be a daily mantra and bespoke service a daily obsession. Tee off at the challenging Robert Trent Jones Jr. 18 hole golf course; succumb to the exclusive Remède Spa customized pampering, or savor Jean-George inspired acclaimed cuisine at Fern restaurant or enjoy Jose Enrique’s local flavors at The Beach Club. Create memories in family at the Iguana Children’s Club or at the fun filled Boat House, or simply lounge at the dramatic pool or bask on the two mile secluded beach.

Your ideal state of relaxation will be met within the 139 magnificent rooms and suites, where private terraces will lead to spectacular ocean views. The resort combines elegant tropical luxury and our iconic St. Regis butler service provides the rarest luxury of all time.

Discover Puerto Rico, its distinct culture and rich culinary heritage. Be surprised by unique sounds and natural beauty. Succumb to Caribbean rhythms in the streets of the oldest city in the Western Hemisphere, Old San Juan. This small legendary city of blue cobblestone paved streets will transport you through time. Or simply venture into the island and be mesmerized by the natural beauty of its bio-luminescent bays, white sand beaches, or the only tropical rainforest in the United States National Forest System, El Yunque. The possibilities are endless.

I wish you an extraordinary journey filled with memorable moments to last a lifetime, the way only this unique island can provide. The warm and welcoming people of Puerto Rico will extend their hand, ready to greet you and welcome you to their little paradise.

Warm Regards; Ian-Robert Ciappara General Manager
