Ritz Carlton-Dorado Beach 5BR, 6BA Luxury Estate

Welcome to an Exclusive Caribbean Sanctuary

Somewhere between idyllic and perfect lies Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve – an ultra-exclusive oceanfront resort on Puerto Rico’s northern coast. Here, pristine beaches meet lush tropical forests on a historic 50-acre Rockefeller estate, creating a harmonious blend of natural beauty and refined luxury. Guests arrive spellbound by Dorado Beach’s serene coastline, world-class amenities, and intimate privacy – and depart with memories that leave them speechless. Within this rare sanctuary, our private estate offers a retreat so secluded and luxurious that it feels set apart from the world, yet immersed in all the delights of Dorado Beach.

Dorado Beach Resort – Idyllic Luxury & World-Class Amenities
Staying at Dorado Beach means indulging in one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive lifestyle experiences. As a guest at our estate, you’ll have the best of the resort at your fingertips (with optional temporary membership for full access). Imagine days filled with:

Gourmet Dining: Savor the rich culinary heritage of Puerto Rico at 8 on-site restaurants, from farm-to-table Caribbean cuisine to oceanfront fine dining. Enjoy dinner with an Atlantic breeze or cocktails under the stars, with impeccable Ritz-Carlton service at every venue.

Beachfront Bliss: Stroll along miles of pristine white-sand beaches just minutes from your door. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and other thrilling water sports. Relax at the exclusive Encanto Beach Club (available with membership) for resort-style pools and seaside cabanas.

Championship Golf: Tee off on two TPC championship golf courses that offer challenging play amid magnificent scenery. The famed East Course – originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and reimagined by his son Robert Trent Jones, Jr. – features oceanfront holes and breathtaking views. Golf carts make it easy to zip from our home to the first tee.

Spa & Wellness: Rejuvenate at the award-winning Spa Botánico, a five-acre sanctuary where ancient healing traditions and modern therapies restore mind and body. Within the community you’ll also find a state-of-the-art fitness center and nature trails through a tropical forest for jogging, biking, or peaceful walks.

Sports & Recreation: Beyond golf, enjoy tennis, pickleball, paddleball, basketball, and more at the resort’s courts and facilities. Families love the on-site Watermill Aquatic Park, an adventure water park with slides and lazy rivers. Kids can also explore The Hangar playground – complete with a lazy river pool and zipline – all accessible by golf cart with no reservations needed.

Every aspect of Dorado Beach exudes casual elegance and adventure. Whether you’re exploring coral reefs at dawn, dining by sunset, or wandering beneath swaying palm trees, this resort community offers a life of relaxation, excitement, and indulgence all in one place.

Your Own Private Estate – A Resort-Within-a-Resort

Nestled inside the exclusive Dorado Beach East gated community (within the Ritz-Carlton Reserve property), our private estate grants you the best of both worlds: the privacy and comfort of a luxury home and the convenience of resort amenities just a short walk or golf cart ride away. This secluded compound features two accommodations – a Main Estate House plus a Guest Villa – which can be rented individually or together for an expansive retreat:

Main House: A modern single-story 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom Main Residence boasting approximately 6,500 sq. ft. of sleek, minimalist design. This ranch-style home features an open-concept layout with airy living and dining spaces that flow seamlessly to outdoor terraces. High ceilings and glass walls invite in natural light and lush views. The Main House’s gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for a chef, and a cozy outdoor fire pit lounge beckons for evening gatherings under the stars. Each spacious bedroom offers an en-suite spa-like bathroom (with indoor/outdoor showers in true tropical style) for ultimate comfort and privacy. For getting around the resort, the Main House comes with three golf carts exclusively for your use.

Guest Villa: A chic 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Villa boasting approximately 2,100 sq. ft. that serves as a tranquil retreat on its own. Styled with contemporary Caribbean flair, it offers a bright open-plan living room, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen – perfect for families or couples traveling together. The villa opens to its own patio and garden area, where you can enjoy morning coffee or a quiet read in the shade of palm trees. Guests of the Villa have use of two golf carts dedicated for their convenience, making it effortless to reach the beach or restaurants in minutes. The Villa’s intimate size is ideal for smaller groups seeking luxury with privacy away from the main house.

Flexibility for Every Group: You may book the Main House or the Guest Villa individually, or rent both together to create a sprawling 8-bedroom 9 bathroom private "resort within the resort" for larger parties, multi-family vacations, reunions, weddings or corporate retreats. When rented together, the Main House and Guest Villa form a modernized Hawaiian 'Ohana' where your group can enjoy the entire property in complete privacy. (If rented separately, the two residences remain discreet and share only the outdoor amenities, described below.)

Outdoor Oasis – Pool, Hot Tub & Tropical Grounds

Step outside and enter your own private oasis. At the heart of the estate is an Olympic-size swimming pool surrounded by lush landscaping and swaying palms. Take an invigorating morning swim or lounge by the poolside on plush chaises with a piña colada in hand. Adjacent to the pool is a large hot tub – the perfect spot to unwind at night as the balmy ocean breeze rustles the palm fronds. This expansive pool terrace is ringed by a spacious patio and garden, offering plenty of room for sunbathing, socializing, or even hosting an intimate gathering. In the evenings, fire up the outdoor fire pit and share stories under the starry Caribbean sky.

Guests renting the entire estate enjoy exclusive use of the pool, hot tub, and outdoor areas – truly a “resort within the resort” all to yourselves. If the Main House and Guest Villa are rented separately, these outdoor amenities are shared between the two residences (while still remaining private to your properties, with no outside resort guests). Either way, the setting is tranquil and secluded, bordered by tropical foliage for a serene atmosphere. You’ll feel like you’ve found a secret paradise just for you and your loved ones.

Unmatched Comfort & Convenience
Every detail of our estate has been thoughtfully curated to ensure a carefree, five-star stay:

Modern Amenities: Enjoy reliable comfort with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The property is outfitted with solar power and a 2000 kW backup generator, so you’ll never worry about power interruptions. A 2,400-gallon water cistern with filtration guarantees fresh water at all times. High-speed satellite Wi-Fi keeps you connected (if you need to be), and the home is equipped with hurricane-proof windows and doors for safety and peace of mind.

Exceptional Service: Our dedicated house manager, Ian, is on call to act as your personal concierge. He can arrange airport transportation, pre-arrival grocery shopping, and even daily housekeeping or chef services upon request (additional fees apply). From scheduling tee times or spa appointments to organizing a private chef dinner, we’ll help tailor your stay to your desires. Arrival is hassle-free – we can have you picked up at San Juan (SJU) International Airport, which is only a 30-40 minute drive away, and whisk you straight to your paradise retreat.

Resort Access & Membership: As our guest, you have the option to be sponsored for a temporary Dorado Beach club membership (at additional cost). This membership grants you the same privileges as a resort member, including access to the exclusive Encanto Beach Club, resort pools, fitness center, water sports center, and member-only events, as well as charging privileges at the resort’s restaurants and bars. You can truly live the full resort lifestyle during your stay – golf cart accessible and with seamless integration between your private estate and the Ritz-Carlton Reserve amenities.

Safety & Security: Located within the Dorado Beach East gated community, the estate offers 24/7 security and privacy. The community’s security staff are top-notch and the neighborhood is impeccably maintained, so you can relax and explore with peace of mind. It’s the kind of place where kids can ride bikes or zip around in golf carts freely, and you can take an evening beach stroll or a midnight swim feeling completely secure.
