Vieques, Vieques
Encantada Vieques is a five acre estate bordering the Caribbean Sea, just west of Esperanza on the southern side of Vieques. This brand new home is an open-air luxury villa designed by famed architect John Hix to maximize your time spent enjoying Vieques natural beauty. The home features absolutely stunning views of the Caribbean from every room, including five outdoor showers. Lounge in the 94 foot infinity pool, enjoy roof deck cocktails and walk down to Coco Beach. Book now, bring camera!
I legitimately believe this is the most beautiful place on the planet! So much so that my fiancé and I are getting married here in February of 2019. So my money is where my mouth is, so to speak. And we would love to host you on your first (or next!) visit to Vieques.
Encantada is an open air, concrete eco-luxury villa that combines indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly together and gives you true enjoyment of nature in a remote island paradise. There is absolutely no glass in the entire house, yet the temperature is perfect.
Featuring a 94 foot infinity pool steps from the kitchen, dining and living space, and a two minute walk down to a gated beach entrance, this home is exactly what you ve been waiting for and reading about experiencing in Vieques.
Before you sleep you ll look up into the night sky and see the Milky Way, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter clearly and you ll realize how everywhere you usually travel has light pollution that ruins your star views. When you wake up in the morning you may see wild horses walking along the beach and hear waves crashing on the shore.
At dusk, AKA "golden hour" you ll see the most beautiful sunsets reflected on the clouds and the coconut palm trees reaching up towards the sky west of the property. You will wonder why you should even leave for dinner at the phenomenal local restaurants when you could just cook hamburgers on the grill and drink beers and frozen drinks while the sun sets.
OK, enough romance. Some quick facts about the house and property:
-Encantada is a 3 minute drive or 10 minute walk to Esperanza, the beautiful, sleepy fishing village on the southern coast that is quickly becoming the hub of tourism on Vieques
-The home features 6,000+ square feet of living space and comfortably sleeps 16. That s using five bedrooms (two of which have sleeper sofas in addition to their king size beds) + one office with a sleeper sofa
-There is a 94 foot infinity pool that sits just off the main living space and faces down towards the Caribbean Sea
-There is a walk way down from the pool to a gated beach entrance that opens onto Coco Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches I ve ever seen. Victoria s Secret Swim 2015 was shot here on this beach.
-There is beautiful landscaping including interior courtyard bamboo gardens, lush pool planters and multiple outdoor showers
-All of our appliances are brand new and high end. Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, two pairs of washer and drier, etc. Complete luxury.

My extremely experienced property manager, Karen, will be available as desired during your stay. She knows Vieques quite well and has handled every rental issue under the sun for her other properties. She is a truly invaluable resource, dedicated to making your stay on Vieques absolutely amazing. I fell in love with Vieques about two years ago and only wish I could spend more time there. I’m more than happy to share my favorite island activities and restaurants with you as helpful. Our goal is to help you experience the best that Vieques has to offer.
There is a Casita on a different part of the five acres (see my other listing). Together, guests from each house can access the entirety of the property outside of the two individual homes, from the electronic gated main entry to the gorgeous beachfront, also accessed by private gated entry. Casita guests cannot access the main villa nor the main villa pool, and Villa guests cannot access the Casita.
This house is amazing! We flew into San Juan and then booked a shuttle to the Puerto Rico Ferry. You will want to get your online tickets at the beginning of the month. Once there, we picked up our 3 cars from Maritzas. Karen (property manager) greeted us and was wonderful helping us with everything. We had 13 people and a baby. The house was clean and comfortable. Loved the open air throughout the house. Drove to different beaches, did a fishing charter, bioluminescence bay, and enjoyed 2 different chefs that came to the house. Chef Sonia Romero and Chef Beverly Davenport. The grocery stores had enough to have meals at the house. The pool was great. Our boys were able to play some baseball in the large yard. This place is by far the best vacation home on a wonderful island.
Everything was seamless. The property is stunning. Excellent location. Amazing beach. We hires Chef Sonia and she didn't disappoint for a lobster bbq and Easter Brunch.
I cannot say enough about how AMAZING this property is. This was a birthday celebration for myself and was perfect for me and my friends to relax, party and enjoy gorgeous Vieques. I will definitely be coming back to Encantada.
Encantada is truly a one of a kind property. Between the open layout, the immaculate views everywhere you turn, the proximity to the water, and the massive lawn, it is like you have your own boutique hotel in paradise. We hosted our wedding here and it was a total dream! Daniel, Tania, and their team made sure that our stay was as perfect as possible. Would love to stay here again one day!
I will say it was just perfect. The location is exceptional, with a beautiful view, and peaceful environment. The beach in front is very pretty and pleasant, and perfect to go on morning or afternoon walks. It is an open style house to enjoy nature, so it is important that you all go aware and prepared to deal with bugs, midnight sounds, and possible storms, but none of it counteracts all of the amazing experiences this house has to offer. And Vieques is just extraordinary.
Also Karen was so helpful and attentive to everything me and my party needed I am coming back for sure
Encantada was unbelievably beautiful. Waking up every morning with an open air stunning view was amazing. The concrete style house makes for a fun setting for large gatherings or a wedding. We got married in front of the house which was a gorgeous setting for a wedding ceremony. The beach in front although rocky is also a great setting for pictures. There is an impressive industrial kitchen which was great for cooking for the whole family. The outdoor showers in each room are also a fun touch. We did have an issue that the pool wasn’t fully filtering but that was fixed towards the end of our stay. Also, beware of the bugs. All of the rooms are open air and the house is well equip with candles and off but I got at least 30-40 bug bites (mosquitos and nociums) on my arms the first night. We plan on coming back with a group of people for our anniversary in the future. The town of Esperanza was very friendly and had great food. We also caught fresh grouper on a fishing trip, had a local in town fillet them for us and then grilled them at the house. This was our best meal of the trip! The owners at Encantada are extremely friendly and worked with us throughout several different rescheduling processes for our wedding. People like this deserve the utmost regards and praise.
We love it so much this is the second year we are back. Encantada is the perfect space to gather responsibility as everything is open and everyone has room to spread out. For sunrise lovers, sunset lovers, nature lovers, beauty lovers, fun lovers, Encantada is your perfect stay with Karen being the perfect hostess making sure all is set up to your needs. Everything ran smoothly at the airport for our flights in and out. If you manage to get out of the enchantment of the house, we recommend three musts: The biobay experience, Red Beach, and Black beach.
We had an amazing time! The property has an excellent location- walk to town, walk to beach. Architecture and design of the house makes you feel in paradise in every single corner with amazing views of the ocean, green scenery, horses cruising by. The pool is something else; we spent most of the days and nights in the pool! Would definitely come back!
Super comfortable, great beaches right in front of the house, amazing pool. Short drive (or long walk) into town with plenty of wonderful restaurants. Vieques is back and looking good.
