Overview

Dorado Beach is a sanctuary of magnificence and tranquility, tucked away on Puerto Rico's Atlantic coast. Situated on 1,400 acres of the former Laurance Rockefeller estate, Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is an intimate refuge offering a true sense of barefoot elegance. Created as an open-air enclave infused with references to the surrounding natural landscape and diverse culture, Dorado Beach is a true luxury sanctuary designed to allure the world's most discerning travelers through a bevy of one-of-a-kind lifestyle activities. Guests can also unwind at the award-winning Spa Botánico, a five-acre spa sanctuary built on a pineapple field that blends Puerto Rican ingredients and soothing indigenous traditions to impart a holistic sense of well-being. 

In 2018, Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve underwent an exciting transformation and reemerged more spectacularly than ever, breathing new life into a magnificent piece of earth, 60 years after Laurance Rockefeller first founded the original resort.

Dorado Beach’s East Course is considered the premier golf course in Puerto Rico by Golf Digest and one of the best courses in the Caribbean.

Ultra-dwarf Champion Bermuda grass greens with a mixture Zoysia and 419 Bermuda grass on fairways and tees for the East.

Original panoramic sight lines to the ocean have been restored on 12 of 18 holes. Native sand harvested from surrounding beaches highlights the contoured bunker complexes.
