ISLA DE VIEQUES

Paradise, also known as Isla de Vieques, is an island municipality of Puerto Rico, located just two miles east of the main island.  Often referred to as part of the “Spanish Virgin Islands”, this Martha’s Vineyard size island is the second largest of Puerto Rico's islands, and therefore is charmingly known as “Isla Nena” or the Little Sister Island. Measuring nearly twenty-one miles in length (east-west) and approximately four miles in width (north-south), the 52 square mile volcanic Caribbean island is overflowing with undeveloped natural beauty, archaeological history, and funky old-world Caribbean charm.

Vieques is the ultimate vacation island for those looking for warm weather, natural beauty, adventure and relaxation. Mother Nature has blessed it with world class sugary white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, a one-of-a-kind Bioluminescent Bay, and weather temperatures hovering near 80ºF all year round. The best part of all, this jewel is now protected by the Department of Fish and Wildlife which has transformed 70% of the island into wildlife reserves. It is the largest National Park and eco-destination in the Caribbean. Nature is the entertainment as visitors and residents alike enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling, mountain biking, bird watching, hiking, kayaking, swimming, and of course, beach-going!

Logistically, Vieques is the perfect get away. Because it is a territory of the United States with commonwealth status, the currency is US dollars. Many residents speak English and passport and customs are not required! It is just a twenty-minute flight from San Juan and is easily accessible by ferry from Fajardo.

Vieques has been recognized by the media not only for its natural beauty and ideal vacationing, but also for real estate investment. The history and the future have aligned to make the present the perfect time to invest in Vieques.
