Welcome to Alma Marina – Villa Alma Marina, the Soul of the Ocean! 🌊

This is my beautiful childhood home, where I was fortunate to build lifelong memories. After Hurricane Maria tragically destroyed 70% of our belongings and memories, I took the opportunity to fully rebuild, design, and remodel it with state-of-the-art features for everyone’s enjoyment. The villa was lovingly customized to honor my mom, Alma, a civil engineer passionate about the ocean, rivers, and interior design—hence the name Villa Alma Marina.

Every detail in this home has been carefully chosen with love and attention, from high-quality furnishings to unique touches you won’t find in other short-term rentals. It’s a space designed for comfort, relaxation, and creating your own unforgettable memories.

I look forward to hosting amazing guests and sharing the magic of this special home. Come experience the perfect blend of luxury, warmth, and ocean-inspired charm at Villa Alma Marina—you’re going to love your stay!
