Rare adventures where luxury and discovery go hand in hand.

Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

One of only two Forbes 5-star resorts in Puerto Rico, Dorado Beach is a lush paradise on the island’s North Shore. Initially developed by Laurance Rockefeller in 1958, today the property plays host to two pools, three golf courses, the 11-mile Rockefeller Nature Trail and the expansive Spa Botánico, where a fragrant apothecary filled with herbs and flowers gives way to treetop treatment suites.

The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician

A true desert oasis, adventures here are designed to highlight the beauty of the surrounding Sonoran landscape, and each suite is a sanctuary in its own right. At sunrise, embark on a guided Golf Course Safari to marvel at the magic of the desert, then venture a bit further afield on complimentary bicycles before retreating to a cabana at the palm-ensconced private pool.
