Bahia Beach Resort and Golf Club

Nestled between the sparkling Caribbean Sea and the lush El Yunque National Forest, Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club offers one of Puerto Rico’s most scenic golf experiences. Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the course weaves through coconut groves, lagoons, and oceanfront stretches that create both challenge and tranquility.

The par-5 18th hole is a showstopper, with sweeping water views that leave golfers with a lasting impression of the island’s natural beauty. The course’s commitment to environmental stewardship has also earned it recognition as an Audubon International Gold Signature Sanctuary.

Bahia Beach is more than a resort course — it’s a retreat into nature, with every swing framed by the island’s vibrant landscapes.

On my visits, I’ve always been struck by how the course seems to breathe with the environment around it. Photographing Bahia Beach at sunrise, with the rainforest clouds spilling over the mountains and the sea shimmering in the distance, felt like capturing two worlds in one frame — wild nature and refined golf, perfectly balanced.
