Four Seasons · Puerto Rico
A Rainforest-Meets-Sea Reserve on the Northeast Coast
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico is the resort you book when you want everyone in the group to be happy and you are not in the mood to compromise. It sits on a 483-acre private nature reserve in Rio Grande, the former St. Regis Bahia Beach, reborn under Four Seasons in late 2025, with two miles of beach, rainforest at its back, and the kind of range that keeps families, couples, and wedding parties equally content. This spotlight focuses on the resort itself. For the full first-person stay, read my honest Four Seasons Puerto Rico review, or see how it stacks up against its quieter neighbor in my Four Seasons Puerto Rico vs Dorado Beach guide.
From the moment you arrive, the resort feels settled rather than newly reflagged. There is a rhythm to it: breakfast with an ocean view, a bike ride along the trails, a morning on the lake, an afternoon split between two pools and a long stretch of sand, then dinner that ends with someone happily ordering dessert. It is polished without being precious, and active without ever feeling chaotic.
The Bahia Beach Rhythm
Arrival and ease. About half an hour from the San Juan airport, with a warm check-in that makes you feel as though you were expected.
A true nature reserve. 483 acres and two miles of beach, and the only resort in the Caribbean certified as an Audubon International Signature Sanctuary.
The versatile balance. One resort that genuinely suits family milestones, romantic dinners, multigenerational groups, and destination weddings at once.
Thoughtful amenities. Two pools with real shade, a ten-room spa, a growing dining lineup under a new executive chef, and the complimentary Kids For All Seasons program.
The Spirit of Puerto Rico
Setting. Rainforest at its back and El Yunque, Old San Juan, and the Fajardo bioluminescent bay all within easy reach.
Design. Refreshed interiors by Meyer Davis that keep a calm, residential, tropical feel rather than anything fussy.
Capable hospitality. Four Seasons kept much of the existing team through the brand change, and that continuity shows in warm, settled service.
Things to do. The Boathouse and its lake sports, an inflatable water park, more than seven miles of trails, tennis, padel, pickleball, and an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr course.

Families who want every option in one place, multigenerational groups, destination weddings and corporate retreats, and couples who like a more active luxury escape with nature and city both within reach. It suits the traveler who wants their 2026 luxury travel to feel intentional, easy, and genuinely restorative.
