A Legacy Rooted in History
The story of Dorado Beach began in 1905, when Dr. Alfred Livingston purchased 1,700 acres of coastal land, developing it into a thriving coconut and citrus plantation. In 1955, Laurance S. Rockefeller, son of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and a visionary conservationist, acquired the property. Within a few years, he transformed it into a groundbreaking luxury resort and natural sanctuary, pioneering sustainable development in the Caribbean. Over the decades, Dorado Beach has welcomed distinguished guests such as President John F. Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, and Ava Gardner. Aviation legend Amelia Earhart also landed her plane on the property’s private airstrip, which still exists today as part of its legacy.
