Overview
A Landmark for Puerto Rico Luxury Real Estate
The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico opened at Bahía Beach Rio Grande on November 20, 2025. For buyers and investors tracking where Puerto Rico’s luxury segment is heading, this re-flagging of the former St. Regis Bahía Beach matters.
Key Takeaways
- The Four Seasons at Bahía Beach opened in November 2025 as the brand’s first property in Puerto Rico.
- The resort includes 85 branded private residences in two- to four-bedroom configurations.
- The property sits on 483 acres, about 30 minutes from San Juan’s international airport.
- The Four Seasons flag brings a global hospitality brand and a full-service ownership model to existing and upcoming residences, though resale values are never guaranteed.
The Transition
What Changed at Bahía Beach
Bahía Beach opened in 2010 as a St. Regis hotel and residences. Four Seasons and Paulson Puerto Rico then invested about $40 million in renovations, led by design firm Meyer Davis, covering the guest rooms, lobby, and 10 food and beverage outlets.[4] For the resort’s earlier chapter, see our guide to experiencing Bahía Beach Resort.
The resort now operates 139 renovated rooms and suites, 104 rooms and 35 suites, on a 483-acre private nature reserve between the towns of Río Grande and Luquillo.[2] The Bahía Beach Golf Club course holds a Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary certification, and the Four Seasons later earned Audubon International’s Green Hospitality Platinum Certification.

Amenities
What the Resort Offers Residents and Guests

- Racquet Centre with tennis, pickleball, and padel courts.
- A destination spa, multiple dining venues, and pool areas with ocean views.

Residences
The Private Residences at Bahía Beach
The 85 branded private residences were designed with Meyer Davis and range from condos to beachfront villas, in two- to four-bedroom configurations. Eight are part of the resort’s rental program.[2]
Owners access the Four Seasons service model, including concierge, housekeeping, and resort-level amenities. Pricing varies by unit and view: a three-bedroom beachfront residence with more than 4,400 square feet was listed at $5.6 million in August 2026.[3] Ask for current availability and monthly carrying costs before you compare units.
The Corridor
What This Means for Río Grande Real Estate
The northeastern corridor has been building toward this moment. Río Grande offers what Condado and Guaynabo cannot replicate: beachfront access within a protected natural environment and proximity to El Yunque. It also sits beside Grand Reserve Golf Club, formerly Coco Beach, a Tom Kite design that hosts the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open, held March 5 to 8 in 2026.[5] Developments elsewhere on the island, such as Esencia’s $2 billion project, show the same pull toward branded luxury.
The Four Seasons brand changes the buyer conversation. Branded residences often appeal to buyers who want turnkey service, and resort guests can become buyers. Resale values are never guaranteed, so compare unit orientation, view, and carrying costs with a local broker.
Why the Río Grande Corridor Stands Out
- About 30 to 40 minutes from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan.
- Next to championship golf, including the Puerto Rico Open venue.
- Act 60 terms are changing. Investor applications filed by December 31, 2026 keep a 0% rate on capital gains, interest, and dividends, while later filings face 4%.[6] Our guide to the luxury market explains the deadline.
