Dorado Beach

Once a plantation, Dorado Beach is now a private retreat inspired by the legacy of its original developer, Laurance S. Rockefeller. Discover a rare island home for a new generation of families on the golden sands that give Dorado Beach its name — where every moment is the making of a lifetime.

LOCATION
Dorado Beach is located on the pristine northern coast of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is also a U.S. territory, so passports are not required for American citizens to travel to Dorado Beach.

West Beach is a chain of golden sand crescents, protected by coral reefs that create tide pools for exploring, with peaceful lagoons for swimming and snorkeling. This is the remarkably lush beach that attracted Rockefeller to Dorado Beach.
