Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve is a landmark in luxury travel, perfectly positioned along Puerto Rico's pristine coastline. The [50-acre retreat](https://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/latin-america/dorado-beach) invites guests to arrive via a helipad or take a scenic drive from Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport, just 40 km away. Upon entering the property, you're greeted by the soothing symphony of waves and a lobby infused with local artistry: the natural wood beams, thoughtfully curated pieces reflecting Puerto Rico's rich culture, and an unmistakable scent of ocean air set an immediate tone of refined relaxation. The seaside Omakase Bar, with the ocean on the left and fine sand beneath your feet, offers sushi and ceviche prepared with fresh seafood that defines the essence of island dining. At the POSI+IVO Restaurant, Asian-inspired and Latin fusion dishes celebrate the diversity of culinary traditions, crafting an unparalleled gastronomic experience. Sunsets here are best enjoyed from spacious suites, where floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open onto terraces, blurring the line between indoor luxury and the ocean's embrace.
