Vieques


This adults-only, industrial-chic boutique sits on the eastern end of Esperanza's main drag. Built from exposed cement, its stunning organic design is different from anything else in town. Its 30 modern, minimalist rooms catch the ocean breeze, and there's an urban-style rooftop with a plunge pool and stellar sunset views, along with a ground-level bar and restaurant.
