Moments of Discovery

Experiences

The resort shares its deep connection to the land and culture through exclusive, bespoke excursions that journey through the air, on land and amid the sea. Led by passionate experts, guests are encouraged to be more than observers; to interact with people, traditions and nature in unforgettable ways.

Our Inspiration

A 100-year-old Ficus tree welcomes you at the Spa Botanico entrance. Its roots are deeply connected to the earth and its strength and beauty serve as an inspiration of longevity, health and endurance.

Manos Santas

Healing Hands

In the not-so-distant past, communities on the island had healers known as “Manos Santas” or “Healing Hands”. This tradition is the foundation of Spa Botanico which combines nature’s wild plants and herbs with the nurturing hands of our talented healers.

Spa Details

Pure nature is woven throughout the spa --- treatments are performed amidst the treetops and in pavilions hidden off meandering paths, an infinity reflection pool overlooks a pineapple garden, tropical outdoor gardens for soaking and indigenous ingredients are used in hand-crafted body scrubs and massage. A wellness experience heightened and harmonized by nature.

Discover Dorado Beach

Land Experiences

Land carries the stories of those who stood there before. It invites exploration. It gives life and helps it grow.

Rockefeller Nature Trail

Winding its way through the resort's 50 acres, this 11-mile trail takes guests past the two courses, along the soft sands beaches, and through tree-shaded forests where moist, cool air offers relief from the sun.

Golf in Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico

The resort’s two courses present players with both the joy and challenge of the sport. Designed to capture the beauty of nature, the Tournament Players Club courses offer 18 holes each and use native sand, manmade rivers and contoured bunkers to test even the most seasoned golfer.

Explore the Courses

East Course

Robert Trent Jones, Jr. modernized his father’s original seaside course, but its history remains. Tree trunks bear the marks of golf balls that went astray, and each hole is named for the trees that surround it. In his restoration, Jones Jr. brought back the ocean views and used native sand to contour the bunkers. The 18-hole course plays more than 7,200 yards.

Sugarcane Course

The more challenging of the resort’s two golf courses, the Sugarcane Course features larger fairways and greens and demands even the most skilled players to negotiate forced carries and deep bunkers. Rivers and lakes on the back nine offer a fresh perspective.

Water Park & Pools

Water is a healer, a powerful force of nature, a necessity for life. At the resort, where the ocean sits just at its edge, it is a source of both thrilling adventure and quiet reflection. Experiences extend beyond the sea to include a family-friendly waterpark and two swimming pools.
