Inside the New Four Seasons Puerto Rico: An Expert Look at the Island’s Premier Luxury Community

For years, I have specialized in guiding families and principals who operate at the highest level of global lifestyle and investment through Puerto Rico’s most exclusive residential enclaves. One destination that has consistently stood out—both in beauty and sophistication—is what was formerly known as Bahía Beach Resort and Golf Club, now evolving into Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico.

Since 2021, I have personally accompanied buyers exploring this community as a primary residence, second home, or strategic relocation under Act 60. Over time, I’ve watched the resort transition through significant milestones—most notably from the celebrated St. Regis era to what is now becoming one of the most anticipated branded residential developments in the Caribbean.

This evolution represents far more than a change in name. It marks a defining moment for Puerto Rico within the global luxury real estate landscape.

A Community Redefined: From St. Regis Heritage to Four Seasons Excellence

For many years, the presence of the St. Regis flag positioned the resort as a premier destination for luxury living, attracting families seeking world-class service, privacy, and natural beauty. Now, the arrival of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico elevates this vision to an unprecedented level.

Four Seasons is one of the world’s most respected leaders in branded residences—an increasingly influential real estate segment coveted by international UHNW buyers who often collect Four Seasons homes across the globe.

This shift places Puerto Rico firmly on the map for sophisticated global buyers seeking elevated resort living, investment stability, and lifestyle continuity.

An Exclusive Look Inside: Our Invitation to Explore the New Four Seasons

Recently, Rodney and I were invited to an exclusive preview inside the upcoming Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico. We toured the transformed lobby—now redesigned with a refined elegance that immediately communicates Four Seasons’ global standard—and walked the surrounding areas as construction and enhancements continue to unfold.

During the visit, we had the opportunity to meet with General Manager Pablo Molinari, who shared valuable insights into the momentum behind branded residential living and the significance of this development in Puerto Rico.

He explained:

“The branded residences model is expanding exponentially worldwide, and Four Seasons is investing strongly in this segment—not only in Puerto Rico, but across the globe.”

He also emphasized the strategic value of the region:

“We believe deeply in the future of the Caribbean and in what Four Seasons will bring to Puerto Rico.”

Hearing this directly from the leadership confirmed what many of us in the industry know:
Puerto Rico is entering a new chapter of desirability among global luxury buyers.

Why This Matters: My Professional Insight After Years Working Inside the Community

Having guided families through this resort community since 2021, I’ve observed clear patterns in what attracts UHNW buyers:

• Consistency in service and hospitality

• Architectural excellence and thoughtful design

• Privacy and security at a global standard

• Curated amenities aligned with an elevated lifestyle

• Integration with nature and wellness

• Act 60 advantages for qualifying relocations

Four Seasons strengthens all of these pillars—and introduces a new level of global recognition.

From my perspective, this transition definitively positions Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico as the most exclusive resort community in Puerto Rico, and one of the most compelling destinations in the Caribbean for sophisticated global buyers who value luxury, strategy, and long-term vision.

A Market Repositioned on the Global Stage

Based on what I have seen in the luxury sector—and after years advising buyers relocating to Puerto Rico—the arrival of Four Seasons creates a powerful triad:

✔ Lifestyle Excellence

Resort living, wellness, golf, nature sanctuaries, and private enclaves.

✔ Strategic Planning

For many, Puerto Rico represents a preferred second residence or an ideal primary home relocation opportunity.

✔ Act 60 Advantages

For qualifying individuals, Puerto Rico offers:

• 0% tax on dividends and interest income

• 0% capital gains tax on qualifying assets

• Reduced corporate tax rates for export services

When combined with Four Seasons branding, these factors elevate Puerto Rico into the same global conversation as destinations like Anguilla, Turks & Caicos, Maui, and Miami—but with a uniquely powerful economic strategy.

Why This Matters to Buyers Around the World

The buyers who are now watching Puerto Rico closely include:

• Families who already own Four Seasons residences globally

• UHNW individuals seeking a Caribbean base with world-class infrastructure

• Investors exploring long-term lifestyle assets

• Relocating families prioritizing tax strategy + luxury ecosystem

• Buyers who value privacy, nature, and curated excellence

For many, Puerto Rico is no longer a vacation destination—
it has become a strategic home base.
