Canadian luxury hospitality firm Four Seasons has expanded its portfolio to the United States territory of Puerto Rico in partnership with Paulson Puerto Rico.

In a press statement, Four Seasons says that under the partnership,   the leading hospitality and branded residential company will assume management of a resort and residences in Bahia Beach, Rio Grande. The opening will mark the entry of Four Seasons to Puerto Rico and the continued expansion of the renowned luxury brand in the Caribbean.

The statement adds that nestled within 195 hectares of lush landscaping along Bahia Beach, the property is seamlessly integrated with its natural surroundings, allowing guests and residents to immerse themselves in the beauty of Puerto Rico. The local surroundings will continue to be preserved, with interiors undergoing renovations before unveiling as Four Seasons Resort Puerto Rico in late 2025.

“As one of the most sought-after travel destinations in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is the perfect location to bring legendary Four Seasons service and experiences to locals, visitors and residents alike,” says Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management and Residential, Four Seasons.

The property is ideally located a short 30-minute drive from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport.

“Puerto Rico is thriving as a luxury leisure destination for travellers and homeowners, and the entry of Four Seasons is a testament to the immense opportunities and bright future ahead.
