After enduring the devastating hurricanes of 2017, the
in Puerto Rico has emerged as a beacon of luxury hospitality, unveiling a comprehensive reimagining that elevates the guest experience to new heights.
Following a visionary $60 million (£45m) redesign, every guestroom and suite at the resort now features contemporary elegance, blending seamlessly with the serene natural surroundings. The sweeping transformation extends to the iconic Plantation House—now a luminous, welcoming space that houses the renowned St. Regis Bar and the resort's celebrated signature restaurant—as well as the oceanfront pool, the rejuvenated Iridium Spa, and the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course, which has been meticulously restored.
In addition to these enhancements, the resort has unveiled the exclusive Ocean Drive Residences, a beachfront enclave representing an $85 million (£63m) investment in ultra-premium living. The Atlantic Drive Estates and a strategic expansion plan further cement The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort’s position as Puerto Rico’s leading luxury destination.
"St. Regis Bahia Beach has always stood out for its natural beauty," shares owner John Paulson, Paulson & Co. "With our extensive enhancements, we have redefined what luxury means in the Caribbean, setting a new benchmark for excellence."
The 139 newly transformed rooms and suites, envisioned by acclaimed Puerto Rican designer Nono Maldonado alongside the distinguished Hirsch Bedner Associates of San Francisco, draw inspiration from the vibrant coastal scenery. Each space radiates with a refined, airy ambiance, complemented by sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean or lush tropical gardens.
Guests are welcomed by the Plantation House’s open, light-filled interiors—serving as the resort’s social heart and home to both fine dining and the iconic St. Regis Bar, recognized as one of the top cocktail destinations in the region.
