An Emerald Paradise
House in Rainforest - Luquillo
6 guests · 3 bed · 3 bath | pool
This vacation house rental is a laidback luxury sprawled between a saltwater pool and seven acres of Puerto Rico's El Yunque’s emerald rainforest.
CONCEPT
The most challenging part of staying at Selva is deciding where to lounge. A cushioned corner overlooking the garden? A stool at the bar in the open modern kitchen? The mountain-view patio hammock? The firepit with a glass of wine? The giant outdoor rainfall shower? The deck of the saltwater pool that gazes out over tropical trees to mountains beyond mountains in the distance? This chic three-bedroom three-bath house in dreamy El Yunque comes with all of the above plus its own private hiking trail, designer floral arrangements installations, and custom furniture. Though it feels deliriously remote, Selva is under an hour from San Juan, and a perfect home base for excursions to Vieques, midnight paddles in Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bay, fresh seafood dinners in Luquillo, and catamaran snorkeling trips to quiet miles of uninhabited beach.
