483 gated acres between El Yunque National Forest and the Espíritu Santo River State Preserve, with about two miles of beach, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, and, since November 2025, a Four Seasons resort.
The community
Bahía Beach occupies 483 gated acres of maritime forest on a former coconut plantation, between El Yunque National Forest and the Espíritu Santo River State Preserve, with about two miles of beach. It is about 16 miles from the airport and 30 minutes from Old San Juan.
The 18 hole course was Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s first in Puerto Rico, and the community is described as the Caribbean's first certified Gold Audubon Signature Sanctuary.
Now Four Seasons
In November 2025 the former St. Regis became Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico, with 193 rooms and suites and 85 private residences. Some older sources still use the St. Regis name.
El Yunque next door
El Yunque covers about 28,434 acres and is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System.
