Isla Verde

Isla Verde

Your Puerto Rican getaway starts right away when you stay in this conveniently located hot spot.

Imagine walking on a sunny tropical beach just minutes after landing in Puerto Rico. Just  a 5 to 10 minute car ride from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, Isla Verde offers exactly that.

Protected by off-shore reefs, its award-winning beach draws locals and visitors alike for its white sands and calm waters. No wonder, then, top hotels and condos line this highly coveted shoreline. Just imagine the ocean views!

With its numerous apartment buildings, Isla Verde offers numerous conveniences that are not often not easily accesible in usual Caribbean resorts destinations—including supermarkets, pharmacies, bars,  restaurants, bars, and more in walking distance. Plus, its residential, neighborhood feel offers a relaxed vibe—not to mention, a great opportunity to mix with the locals.

Isla Verde Highlights

• Isla Verde is definitely for beach lovers who don’t want to sacrifice any of their urban conveniences. For surfers, there’s popular Pine Grove.  Alambique offers a more relaxed stretch of sand. Vaunting both lifeguards and ample parking, the Balneario de Carolina beach park is a great spot to check out with the kids. Don’t miss all the aquatic activities like windsurfing and jet skiing.

• With its close proximity to the freeway, staying in Isla Verde makes it a breeze to get to other parts of San Juan or Puerto Rico. Get to historic Old San Juan in just 20 minutes, or venture to verdant El Yunque rainforest in just 30 minutes. 

• Thanks to the several hotels in the neighborhood, there is a bevy of excellent nightlife options, like gourmet eateries, lounges, and casinos. For those who enjoy the finer things in life, a stop by the recently launched Fairmont El San Juan Hotel for a cocktail or two is a must.
