Puerto Rico is an exotic Caribbean island and U.S territory, tucked between the Dominican Republic and the Virgin Islands. It is hard to believe that this tropical paradise is a mere 2-hour flight from Miami and you don’t even need a passport to get there!!! When you arrive in Puerto Rico, you’ll discover lush rainforests, world-class surfing, historic colonial town Old San Juan, and even a bay where you can swim amongst tiny glowing bioluminescent plankton. For all of the trip planning details you need check out my Ultimate Guide to Puerto Rico.
And while I do love a good resort in Puerto Rico, Airbnb’s are skyrocketing in popularity in the area due to the variety of stays and the private experience they offer (especially during pandemic times when the more secluded the better – I’m LOVING airbnbs over hotels these days). So I wanted to round up some of the most sought-after properties in Puerto Rico that will have you swooning in no time!! Start packing those bags!
