Explore Puerto Rico’s 9 Lodges Offering a Blend of Comfort, Sustainability, and Natural Beauty
You’ll find Puerto Rico rich in culture, traditions, and beauty. Vastly spreading over the Caribbean Sea, this island is endowed with magnificent mountains, numerous mystical waterfalls, several bioluminescent bays, and an extensive rainforest that makes Puerto Rico one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The island has only recently initiated a greener, eco-friendly living system, which is why the number of eco-friendly lodges is still a little low. But, if you’re looking for the best eco-lodges in Puerto Rico, here’s where to find them.
Hix Island House
The Hix Island House was one of the first Puerto Rican eco-lodges, and this is why it takes the top of the list.
