Lounge and Laze within El Yunque National Park

Seven acres of protected parkland cloak this tropical home outfitted with softly curving custom concrete and wood furnishings, easygoing natural fiber rugs and lamps, emerald houseplants and vivid florals, plus alfresco showers outside every bedroom. Crowning a densely vegetated, vine-strewn hilltop, this jungle manor goes beyond the tropical standard, offering wide-open vistas and a leafy private hiking trail into the mountainous jungle.

Open and inviting, this villa for rent in Puerto Rico occupies a deliciously secluded private acreage within the boundaries of El Yunque National Park and was featured in Luxury Lifestyle Magazine as a top Puerto Rican stay. Expansive picture windows and generous sliding doors make alfresco living the rule here, though when “inside time” calls, the villa’s mod rooms offer warm, intimate retreats softly lit by ambient lighting and outfitted with cozy natural furnishings. Offering unexpectedly breathtaking views from its decks and boardwalks, the secluded home’s outdoor zone presents endless views, a saltwater swimming pool and an exhilaratingly panoramic gazebo with a lounge-if-you-dare suspended net.

AROUND

Selva offers the rare chance to stay within the boundaries of Puerto Rico’s famed El Yunque National Park. Its privileged location means easy access to the park via its private circular hiking trail (about 30 minutes of easy walking) and Caribbean beach access in under half an hour. Playas La Selva, Escondida, and La Pared are the closest beaches, and guests can also enjoy excursions on land and sea from Fajardo and Ceiba, both about 20 minutes from the home by car. Known as the Sun Capital of Puerto Rico, Luquillo’s beaches are considered among the island’s best. Surfers, paddleboarders and snorkelers appreciate the azure waters, and the Luquillo mountain range rises from the sea up over 3,500 feet, giving the area a "best of both worlds" allure. Gastronomes and those seeking vibrant nightlife shouldn’t miss Luquillo’s busy Los Kioskos food and bar park. The cafes and tropical cocktail outposts, open until 2am on weekends, turn out seafood, pizzas, and traditional Puerto Rican fare, all washed down with cold fruity beverages and a side of reggaetón, only steps from the beach.
