Luxury Real Estate INVESTATE PUERTO RICO September 25, 2025
Puerto Rico is stepping into a new era of luxury living. In November 2025, the iconic St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort in Río Grande will relaunch as the Four Seasons Resort & Residences Puerto Rico, bringing global prestige, world-class amenities, and exclusive branded residences to the island.
Far more than a rebranding, this is a $40 million reinvention that blends Puerto Rico’s natural beauty with Four Seasons’ legendary hospitality and design excellence.
Paulson Puerto Rico, owner of the 483-acre property since 2013, is spearheading the renovation.
Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, the globally recognized brand with more than 120 luxury hotels and resorts, will operate the property under a 60-year management agreement.
Together, they guarantee consistency, financial strength, and global exposure for decades to come.
