Royal Isabela is blessed with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.

San Juan, Puerto Rico; August 22, 2024 – More than half of American travelers are expected to take a vacation during late summer and early fall, with nearly record levels of willingness to spend (source: Future Partners “State of the American Traveler”).

At the same time, visitors are looking for deals, and indicated their preference for travel ease. Puerto Rico meshes well with this timing and visitor preferences. It is a bilingual U.S. territory requiring no passport and is in the Island’s off-season when golf and lodging prices are below peak season.

For golf enthusiasts, Puerto Rico stands out as a premier destination with some of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the Caribbean. There are currently 18 playing venues with two new courses expected to open imminently.

The Island boasts numerous golf courses designed by renowned architects such as Robert Trent Jones (Jr. and Sr.), Tom Fazio, Gary Player, and Greg Norman. Many of the courses are amenities of resorts, including Royal Isabela, El Conquistador, Costa Caribe/Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino, The St. Regis Bahia Beach, Wyndham Grand Rio Mar, Wyndham Palmas, Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve, and Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. With stunning ocean views, lush landscapes, top-tier amenities and year-round tropical weather, Puerto Rico provides an idyllic setting for golfers of all skill levels.

As travelers express a growing interest in staying closer to home, Puerto Rico is an ideal destination for those preferring short flights over longer drives. With dozens of flights daily from the U.S., many non-stop, reaching paradise is a relative breeze.

The chance to “Live Boricua” is easily within reach, and an invitation to embrace a way of life filled with passion, exuberance, and joy. The Boricua spirit, deeply rooted in Puerto Rican culture, must be experienced to be truly understood, yet it resonates universally. With research highlighting travelers’ increasing preference for experiential destinations, Puerto Rico’s diverse offerings make it a perfect choice.

Puerto Rico’s history and vibrant essence creates another range of experiences. Wander through the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, where colorful colonial buildings, centuries-old forts, and lively plazas tell the story of the Island’s past. Experience the rhythmic sounds of salsa music, savor the flavors of traditional Puerto Rican cuisine, and immerse yourself in the warmth and vibrancy of local festivals.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Piña Colada, the iconic cocktail that has become synonymous with tropical paradise. Puerto Rico, the birthplace of this beloved drink, invites you to celebrate its heritage, stunning landscapes, world-class golf courses, and exquisite spirits.

As the “Rum Capital of the World,” Puerto Rico is renowned for its high-quality rum production. Visitors can tour world-famous distilleries such as Bacardi, the largest premium rum distillery in the world, located just across the bay from Old San Juan. Learn about the history and production process of this iconic spirit and enjoy tastings of aged rums and exclusive blends. The Island also boasts a burgeoning craft cocktail scene, where mixologists create innovative drinks that highlight local ingredients and flavors.

Puerto Rico seamlessly combines relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal vacation spot. Whether you’re sipping a Piña Colada on a pristine beach, sampling artisanal rums, or perfecting your swing on a top-tier golf course, the Island offers many opportunities for unforgettable experiences.
