A truly transformative retreat, you will be moved by the architecture of its timber pavilions overlooking reflective ponds and the shimmering sea.

Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve - Dorado, Puerto Rico
Completely renovated after the destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve sets the bar for lush, luxury resorts in the Caribbean. More than 300,000 plants were planted during the renovation, and remarkable coral reefs flourish just off the mile-long beach that outlines the property. This is a true sanctuary. In fact, Dorado Beach was purchased in 1905 to grow coconuts and grapefruits, and in 1958 it opened as an eco-resort and natural sanctuary with intimate accommodations and unobstructed access to gorgeous oceanfronts. This property has an incredible history. You can even stay at Su Casa - a luxurious 8,000 square foot beachside villa where Amelia Earhart stayed before embarking on her last attempt to fly around the world.
