Soak Up the Sun

On your honeymoon, the most stressful decision of the day should be whether to lounge on the beach or by the pool. Happily, Puerto Rico offers plenty of stellar options for both.

At favorite honeymoon resorts like the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel and the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort, you can sink into a chaise lounge at one of several Instagram-worthy on-site pools or put your toes in the sand along the coast. These high-end accommodations feature everything you and your love need for a carefree honeymoon, from five-star dining to state-of-the-art fitness studios.

World-Class Museums

Island time is a pace that’s just right for taking in beauty. For art lovers, spend a leisurely day ogling masterpieces in a striking building that once served as a municipal hospital at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, which encompasses a collection of more than 1,000 works by prominent and up-and-coming Puerto Rican artists.

In addition to displaying important pieces by visionaries like Jose Campeche and Miguel Pou, the Museo de Arte de Ponce — designed by Edward Durell Stone — is an architectural masterpiece in its own right. And in Yauco, a unique and eye-catching urban art project has turned the town into an inspiring outdoor gallery while providing a public platform for some of the Island’s most promising young talents.
