The Caribbean’s resort landscape is about to get a serious upgrade. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Puerto Rico is now accepting reservations for arrivals beginning November 20, 2025—and this isn’t just another beachfront property. This is a complete reimagining of what a Caribbean escape can be.
A Natural Wonder Meets World-Class Luxury
Tucked into Puerto Rico’s northeastern shore along a pristine two-mile stretch of golden beach, this resort isn’t just nearnature—it’s surrounded by it. The property sits within the exclusive Bahía Beach community and spans its own 483-acre private nature reserve, flanked by two additional protected sanctuaries. In fact, Four Seasons Resort Puerto Rico holds the distinction of being the only resort in the Caribbean designated as a Certified Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary.
What does that mean for guests? An eco-friendly paradise where luxury and conservation exist in perfect harmony.
“As we expand our exceptional collection of resorts in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico has long been a destination of great interest to Four Seasons,” says Antoine Chahwan, President, Hotel Operations – Americas. “In partnership with Paulson Puerto Rico, we are proud to introduce our signature service and timeless approach to luxury to this remarkable island.”
Newly Refurbished and Ready to Impress
The resort features 139 newly refurbished guest accommodations designed to capture that perfect balance of tropical elegance and laid-back comfort. But where Four Seasons really shines is in the details—and this property delivers with ten unique dining options that showcase Puerto Rico’s vibrant culinary culture.
Picture this: tropical cocktails at the Lobby Bar & Lounge where Puerto Rican spirit comes alive through locally inspired dishes. Fresh maki and sashimi at the pop-up Sushi Bar. Toes-in-the-sand island fare at Sand Dollar, the relaxed beachfront oasis. Whether you’re craving international cuisine or authentic local flavors, this resort has you covered.
Adventure Awaits (If You Want It)
For those who can’t sit still, the resort offers an impressive array of activities. The oceanfront Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course. Tennis and pickleball at the expanded Racket Centre. Two swimming pools. Complimentary kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake. An inflatable water park at the Boathouse. Even an on-site animal sanctuary for the kids.
But the real magic happens when you venture beyond the resort grounds. Four Seasons has curated signature experiences that showcase Puerto Rico’s natural wonders:
- Bioluminescent kayaking: Glide through dense mangroves at night into a serene lagoon where microscopic plankton create an otherworldly blue glow around fish and underwater creatures—a truly rare experience.
- El Yunque National Forest: Explore trails, waterfalls, and ziplines through the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest system.
- Canoe trekking: Navigate the pristine waters of Reserva Natural Río Espíritu Santo.
- Old San Juan: Wander historic fortified ports, colorful Spanish colonial buildings, and charming cobblestone streets.
The resort’s concierge team stands ready to craft the perfect day trip tailored to your interests.
More Than Just a Vacation
With over 25,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, Four Seasons Resort Puerto Rico is positioning itself as the ultimate destination for weddings and corporate retreats. The dedicated events team can transform any vision into reality against the backdrop of swaying palms and ocean breezes.
“We are thrilled to expand our Four Seasons portfolio in the Caribbean, welcoming guests to the perfect Puerto Rico beach resort, immersed in a vast nature sanctuary,” says General Manager Pablo Molinari. “Travellers already familiar with this beautiful slice of paradise will enjoy a warm welcome back as they explore our many enhancements, and we look forward to introducing Puerto Rico to a new generation of holidaymakers.”

Building a Birdhouse: A Step-by-Step DIY Process

(Feature Impact) To add charm to your yard, encourage local wildlife and give you a front-row seat to nature, building a birdhouse is a simple weekend project that checks all of those boxes.
Building a Birdhouse
Seasoned DIYers and first-timers alike can follow this step-by-step guide to create a functional, welcoming birdhouse.
Step 1: Choose the Right Design
Start by deciding what type of birds you’d like to attract. Different birds prefer different house sizes and entrance types. A simple, classic birdhouse design makes the project beginner-friendly and works well for common backyard birds like wrens, chickadees and bluebirds. In general, plan for at least a 1-1 2/2-inch entrance hole, a 5-by-5-inch interior space and 2 inches or more of roof overhang.
Step 2: Gather Materials and Tools
Most DIY birdhouses can be built with basic materials and tools you may already have at home, including untreated cedar or pine wood, screws or nails, wood glue, sandpaper and exterior-safe paint as well as a measuring tape, pencil, saw and drill.
Step 3: Measure and Cut Wood
Measure and cut wood to make the front panel, back panel, two side panels, floor and roof. Then sand all edges for smooth assembly.
Step 4: Drill Holes
Using a hole-saw bit, drill the entrance hole into the front panel. Position it a few inches below the roofline to keep predators out. Next, drill 2-3 small drainage holes in the floor piece to prevent water buildup and help keep the birdhouse dry.
Step 5: Assemble the Birdhouse
Attach the side panels to the back panel using screws or nails. Add the front panel then secure the floor piece, slightly recessed, so rainwater can drain. Attach the roof last, making sure it slopes slightly to allow water to run off.
Step 6: Paint the Exterior
If you plan to paint your birdhouse, stick to neutral, nature-inspired colors. Light browns, soft greens or white help regulate temperature and blend into the environment.
Step 7: Mount Your Birdhouse
Once dry, place your birdhouse in a quiet, sheltered spot away from heavy foot traffic. Mount or hang it 5-10 feet off the ground, facing away from prevailing winds.

TOP 5 THINGS TO DO IN ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
Last Updated on February 15, 2026 by Daily News Staff

ENCINITAS, CALIFORNIA, USA /EINPresswire.com/ — California’s gem, the surfside city of Encinitas and The Encinitas Visitors Center are announcing Memorial Day activities for 2022. The beachside oasis takes the beach seriously, and with six miles of Pacific Ocean coastline to its name, the small community is a beautiful reminder of the historic Highway 101 beach culture that has thrived since the mid-1900s. It’s no surprise that the City of Encinitas was named as one of the best surf towns in the world. Here are top 5 activities for visitors to enjoy.
1. Go to the beach! Some of the best beaches in Encinitas include legendary surfing hotspots like Beacon’s, Grandview, Stone Steps, Moonlight State Beach, and Swami’s. These beaches are also some of the best in the country for sunbathing, relaxing, or spending a beach day with the family.
2. Take surf lessons! Live the life of a San Diegan for a day and enjoy the popular sport of surfing! There are many to choose from, including Encinitas Surf Lessons https://www.encinitassurflessons.com/ Pacific Surf https://www.pacificsurf.com/surfing-lessons-encinitas/ and Aqua Surf https://www.aquasurf.com/encinitas that offer group lessons, quality equipment, good surf and exciting lessons from a lifelong surfer.
3. Have a beach bonfire and BBQ! Moonlight Beach is one of the few area beaches that has picnic tables, bonfires, a playground, volleyball, lifeguard towers, easy parking and no stair access that creates a perfect family-oriented trip to the beach. A recent 6 million dollar renovation presents clean bathrooms, an additional 10,000 square feet of sandy area, and a new concession stand.
4. Tour the Encinitas Historical Society! Visitors to the Encinitas Historical Society are in for a treat, as the organization is located in an 1883-era one-room schoolhouse built for the eight children that lived in the town at that time. Discover the history of this unique city through photographs, exhibits, research papers, and docents eager to share their story.
5. Eat, drink and shop by the beach! The quaint downtown Encinitas shopping district is more than 100 years old. Today, the historic corridor along Highway 101 is home to sidewalk cafes, cute boutiques and shops, great restaurants and breweries. A few local favorites include Le Papagayo, Vigilucci’s Trattoria Italiana, Solterra Winery and Kitchen and the Potato Shack Café.
And don’t forget, on Memorial Day, to be part of the National Moment of Remembrance by pausing for a moment of silence at 3 pm local time. Take one minute to remember those who have died serving our country so that we are able to enjoy our freedom.

Start Planning Now for a Thriving Spring Garden
Winter offers an ideal time to plan for a successful spring garden. Assess your current space, research planting ideas, and design an efficient layout. Enhance soil health with compost, start seeds indoors for stronger plants, and organize tools to ensure readiness for the growing season. Prepare now for a thriving garden.

Start Planning Now for a Thriving Spring Garden
(Family Features) While winter weather puts outdoor gardening on pause in most parts of the country, the colder months offer a perfect opportunity to begin preparing for a lush garden come springtime.
With a little creativity, and some extra time spent creating a plan, you can set yourself on a path toward success before the growing season even begins.
Assess Your Space and Research Ideas
Evaluate your current garden, taking note of what worked well last season and where improvements can be made. Use this downtime to sketch an updated layout, research companion plants and decide which fruits, vegetables or flowers you want to grow next based on what did (or didn’t) work last spring.
Build an Updated Blueprint
Winter is the ideal time to upgrade your garden design and make tweaks for efficiency. Use the offseason to consider crop rotation patterns for optimal soil health as well as ways to maximize your space such as raised beds, trellises or containers. You can also make a list of materials needed for any new features you may be adding, such as an irrigation system, and map out their placement so you’re ready to build as soon as the weather allows.
Nourish the Soil
Even if the ground is frozen, you can prepare your garden beds by adding compost, leaves or organic matter in late winter, ensuring nutrients are available when spring arrives. Also remember to test your soil’s pH level now, which can help guide your fertilization plan.
Start Seeds Indoors
If you’re eager to get your hands dirty, consider starting your seeds indoors. Early seed starting gives plants a head start, allowing you to transplant stronger seedlings outdoors when temperatures warm.
Get Organized
Use the slower pace of winter to clean and sharpen your garden tools, sort through leftover seeds and make a supply checklist so you’re ready to dig in when warmer days arrive.
