Vieques Puerto Rico, Travel and Leisure’s Best Island of the Caribbean, has something for every vacationer… Enjoy peaceful seaside relaxation on sandy beaches, fine dining and upscale shopping, funky exotic nightlife, exhilarating ocean sports and unmatched natural beauty.

An island apart from an island, Vieques is the 'Little Sister' of nearby Puerto Rico. A tiny Caribbean island that's sparsely populated, unspoiled and undeveloped. Vieques is a rare treasure to find these days when so many other islands are sprouting mega hotels. Vieques was recently named "Best Island in the Caribbean" by a popular travel magazine, but we will let you decide that for yourself! Get out and go! See Vieques and enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, horseback riding and dozens of cultural and historic locales... Or imagine yourself relaxing on a remote beach, doing nothing at all!

In Vieques, we don’t usually attract the all-inclusive traveler, rather the person who wants a more individual, personal experience and a laid-back vacation and way of life. We always have the big island of Puerto Rico for the ‘high life’ and shopping and we enjoy the option to keep it at arm’s length from our white sandy (and black sand!) beaches here on Vieques. We have the best of both worlds in Vieques and we hope you can join us soon!

Vieques abounds with things to do- take a stroll on the quiet beachfront boardwalk (Malecon) in Esperanza, ride a bike to a nearby beach... or you might take a cool drink and a good book to our gardens and enjoy a tropical afternoon. For those looking to explore the island, Vieques has many opportunities.

Vieques Bioluminescent Bay

Caused by micro-organisms and chemistry, the experience of seeing the mystifying, glowing waters can only be called magical. The World's best, most well-preserved Bioluminescent bay is here in Vieques. It is not to be missed!

Snorkeling & Scuba Diving

The endless Vieques coasts have entire worlds below the waves. You can find gorgeous, world-class coral reefs all around the island. Go snorkeling along the shores, or plan a Scuba trip and take a boat dive.

Beach Touring

With so many gorgeous and easily-accessible beaches, the trouble is choosing which ones to visit! Take a rental vehicle to the most distant, and go beach hopping, or let a local point out their personal favorites. Walk to Sun Bay or rent a bike to access the nearby beaches.
