Malecon House - Vieques, Puerto Rico
Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from bustling San Juan lies Esperanza, an idyllic seaside town on the small island of Vieques. Although one of the biggest draws to Vieques is the famed bioluminescent bay, the island encompasses so much more. With a tight-knit beach community that embraces tourists into the "family," Vieques offers visitors a chance to escape a scurried lifestyle and relax under the palm trees, sipping a cocktail and listening to the waves softly lap against the shore. One of the premier boutique inns in Vieques, Malecon House, is situated directly in the middle of the Esperanza boardwalk.
A bit recessed from the main road, the Malecon House is nestled among the tropical landscape and depicts a sense of subtle stature, which permeates through the rest of the property. Each of the rooms are decorated in a very contemporary, yet minimalistic manner, employing accent colors and fabrics to give a touch of pizzaz to the decor.
The beauty of Vieques lies in the fact that the hotels on the island are committed to retaining the laid back atmosphere, and do not clog the skyline with tall buildings. In fact, according to Robin Shepherd, one of the owners of family-run Malecon House, Vieques hotels are no taller than 3 stories, in order to leave the views unobstructed. As such, the views from the balconies are spectacular, overlooking the placid, turquoise Caribbean Sea. In the evening, when the day transitions to dusk, lounge on the balcony and enjoy as the gentle breeze wafts fragrances of the local flowers mixed with the salty sea air.
The property also includes several other attractive features. There is nothing like dipping your feet into the beautiful lap pool surrounded by lush greenery during a hot day or enjoying fresh juice and pastries on the patio deck in the morning while staring out into the blue horizon of the ocean.
Next time you visit Puerto Rico, make sure to take a quick 10-minute passenger plane or short ferry ride over to the island of Vieques for an unforgettable respite at Malecon House that will leave you completely rejuvenated.
