LOCATION



Perla del Mar is situated in the heart of Maunabo, Puerto Rico, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Punta Tuna Wetlands Nature Reserve. Explore the historic Punta Tuna Lighthouse just a short 10-15 minute walk away, or venture further to discover the vibrant culture and cuisine of Puerto Rico.



Besides enjoying the beautiful villa and all amenities on offer, there are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:



Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at Perla del Mar. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and a cooler for a long day at the beach. The beach is just an 8-10 minute stroll.



Take a hike! This lush wetland reserve spans 1.4 miles of coastline, just north of the Faro Punta Tuna. Interpretive trails through the mangroves and along the beach impart interesting information about the ecology, flora and fauna, and a lookout tower makes it easier to spot wildlife, especially in the mornings.



Visit the historic Punta Tuna Lighthouse just a 10-15 minute walk away! The Punta Tuna Lighthouse was built in the 1890s by the Spanish government to serve the south-eastern coast of the Island. Sitting atop a small peninsula, the views from the lighthouse are some of the Island's best.



Go on a roadtrip to nearby beaches! Here you have the name of a few beaches we recommend nearby: El Cocal Beach, Balneario Playa Lucía, Playa Maunabo, Playa Bohio, Los Pinos Beach, Emajaguas Beach, and Playa Negra (great surfing beach).
