At The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, Casa Estancias, a custom-built, St. Regis-branded modern estate situated within the resort, is the newest addition to the island oasis that is just a four-hour plane ride from New York City. This stunning ve-bedroom residence captures magni cent views of the ocean, lakes, an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II-designed golf course and the lush, tropical splendor of nearby El Yunque National Forest from every corner of the property.

The Caribbean retreat is nestled surf-side within the 483 acres of pristine gated tropical rain forest surrounding The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort. It boasts four large-scale bronze sculptures by renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero displayed throughout the resort, enhancing the seductive permanent art collection.

The seamless architectural feat of interior-toexterior ow is achieved within steps of the resort’s 2-mile private crescent cove beach, and includes a 60-foot-long saltwater lap pool, an outdoor terrace with dining and grilling area, a media room, a fully equipped kitchen, and St. Regis’ signature butler services like private champagne sabering and daily housekeeping and turndown.
