The Best Honeymoon Hotels in Puerto Rico

Tennis courts, golf course, adorable boat house with water sports

Spread across nearly 500 acres, St. Regis Bahia Beach is one of Puerto Rico’s most chic and popular properties. Couples will find lush surroundings perfectly situated between the Caribbean Sea and El Yunque National Forest. Active couples can hike, swim, play tennis, golf, or even birdwatch in a spectacular Audubon Gold Signature Sanctuary. When the weather gets steamy, cool off together in one of the property's lakes or stop by the boat house which is stocked with kayaks, paddleboards, and more.

The coveted couples’ cabanas at St. Regis Bahia Beach also offer respite from the hot sun, and you can enjoy personalized butler service while lounging at the glimmering pool. Visitors rave about Iridium Spa—complete with its own private plunge pool—for couples’ massages and other pampering treatments. You can even opt for an in-suite massage. 

The newly re-designed rooms have been fully outfitted by Puerto Rican designer Nono Maldonado. They reflect his focus on light and contemporary furnishings, with 400-thread-count Frette linens and private balconies to truly savor every luxurious moment together.

Small kitchenettes with in-room microwave and coffee/tea maker, organic toiletries

A quick 14-minute ride from the airport brings you to DaDa JaJa in the trendy Santurce neighborhood of San Juan. A great option for budget-minded honeymooners, this hotel sits in close proximity to museums, restaurants, and nightlife. Both the popular San Juan Condado and Carolina beaches are within a 15-minute walk. 

At night, you can relax in one of the four well-appointed guest rooms with vintage flair, each boasting prints and sculptures by local artists. Other highlights of the rooms include the unique architectural and design features, which celebrate the open air and San Juan’s magical sunlight. 

DaDa JaJa’s outdoor patios have cozy lounge areas that are perfect for enjoying a morning cafecito, complete with a hammock, hanging birdcage chair, comfy cushioned seats, and lush greenery. The deluxe suite has the added bonus of an outdoor soaking tub big enough for two. 

Outdoor pool and sun terrace, unique gift shop with quality souvenirs

Explore the island of Vieques from the highest point on the island at the dreamy Finca Victoria. Enjoy the lushness of nature, nightly serenades by local Coqui frogs, and minimal light pollution. The island is a night sky lover’s dream, with crystal clear views of the Milky Way and beyond. 

Guests at this free-spirited boutique hotel enjoy complimentary yoga on the outdoor patio every morning, followed by a fresh vegan breakfast of local products included with each stay. A full schedule of classes, ranging from Chinese medicine to Pancharkarma, are available in the onsite Ayurveda Center. 

The centerpiece of the property holds the Victoria Suites, designed in the traditional Caribbean “Casona” style by architect Bill Parker. Each one is uniquely outfitted with vintage art and furniture, plus a private balcony and an outdoor shower. Beds come sumptuously dressed in organic cotton linens, plus mosquito nets for when you need them. You can also live out your childhood dreams and sleep in a treehouse high above the grounds for some of the best views around. 

Adults-only outdoor pool, water park, spa

This sparkling clean, AAA Diamond-rated Ritz-Carlton Reserve is a gem in the secluded Dorado Beach Resort, near a private enclave of upscale homes. Whether you choose a standard room, suite, or villa, the accommodations have a residence-like appeal. Guests enjoy wall-to-wall glass patio doors that reveal a scenic beach, lush plunge pool area, and even a local mountain range. Upgrade to the plunge suites with soaking pools and outdoor rainforest showers for an extra dose of romance.

The rooms are blanketed in soothing neutral palettes with natural elements, including stone and wood accents, and they’re as refined as they are comfortable. You’ll find freestanding soaking tubs and terrace views that promise breathtaking sunsets and quiet, intimate moments between lovers. 

A stay includes access to Dorado Beach amenities like clay tennis courts, white sand beaches, recreational areas, and a nature trail. To top it off, the spa utilizes herbs grown on the property for aromatherapy couples’ treatments touted by guests.

Rooftop pool and terrace, fitness center, on-site bar

Hotel El Convento is a historic hotel dating all the way back to the 1600s as a Carmelite convent. Set right in the middle of old San Juan, the property is ideal for easy sightseeing during the day and relaxing in a posh playground for the senses at night. The landmark building’s past can be felt around every corner, but it’s now paired with modern luxuries befitting the most romantic of stays. It’s no surprise that this 58-room hotel is just as popular for weddings as it is for honeymoons. 

With a range of rooms outfitted in traditional Caribbean luxury, plus packages focused on history and gastronomy, couples can enjoy charming rooms and experiences. However, we suggest the opulent Gloria Vanderbilt suite, with its gorgeous black marble bathroom and a Juliet balcony that overlooks the Spanish-style Plaza de las Monjas. 

Brides’ tip: Don’t forget the notorious (and sometimes dangerous) house pitchers of mojitos.

On-site casino, fitness center, large outdoor pool area with easy-to-secure chairs

Like to be in the center of things but also crave a little rest-and-relaxation time at the beach? The Fairmont El San Juan Hotel is happily positioned for both. Located just a few minutes from Old San Juan and set on a stunning tropical stretch of wide soft sand beach, the hotel boasts romantic ocean views that will take your breath away. 

After creating plenty of sandy footprints, couples can switch over to one of the four sparkling pools, luxury cabanas, or the Well & Being Spa and Fitness Center (which has its own dedicated pool). Enjoy locally-inspired dishes with updated twists at Caña, the gorgeous indoor/outdoor poolside restaurant from acclaimed chef Juliana Gonzalez. 

For other sumptuous meals, there’s a steakhouse, a fine dining restaurant with tasting menu, and a casual pizza and Italian restaurant, plus sushi served in the lobby. When it’s time for after-dinner drinks, guests can visit Chandelier Bar, aptly named for its centerpiece which holds 7,000 Czechoslovakian crystals. 

A Grand Romance Package is also available to couples, including Champagne, chocolates, breakfast served in-room or at Caña, and the always-appreciated late check-out.

Side-by-side hammocks for lounging, outdoor pool with a view, intimate seating areas

Experience magical El Yunque National Forest and the remnants of an ancient volcano at this boutique charmer, which offers one of the finest nature immersions possible. The property is committed to being one of the “greener” ways you can honeymoon. Rather than a breakfast buffet or restaurant, couples start the day with an energizing coffee and vegetarian breakfast made from locally-sourced produce. Follow it up with a dip in the pool or a hike in the nearby nature trails, jungle pools, or waterfalls. 

You and your loved one can also bask in the solitude of the jungle with special access to the “Lost Machete” hike, a secret trail that passes by a waterfall before ending at a spectacular swimming hole. Afterward, honeymooners can finish the day at a cozy eco-lodge with boutique touches like couples’ soaking tubs on the outdoor patio. To turn up the romance, book the Jungle Suite to get side-by-side bathtubs with a stunning view.
