    Day 2 – A Signature Day at Royal Isabela  

    Experience a round at Royal Isabela Golf Links, one of the most breathtaking courses in the world. With holes perched on 150-foot-high bluffs into which waves crash far below, it’s an astounding place to play golf. Native plants frame fairways, creating a nature walk-cum-golf challenge made intense by the prevailing winds. After your round, enjoy a massage or a soak in your personal plunge pool, followed by artisanal cocktails around the firepit under the stars.

    Day 3 – Borinquen Golf + Surf Culture 

    Travel 30 minutes from Isabela to Punta Borinquen Golf Club in Aguadilla, a historic course that was built at now-closed Ramey U.S. Air Force Base for officers, including Dwight D. Eisenhower, who later became America’s 34th President. Today, the modest municipal-style course is a revered and laid-back, oceanside gem. Sitting atop a promontory with spectacular sea views from virtually every hole, it’s clear why Eisenhower frequently played the parkland style design. Later, spend the afternoon surfing on waves where World Surfing Championships have often been held or relaxing at popular Crash Boat or Jobos Beach. Then swing by Rincón to explore the town’s iconic art walk, cool down with a local beer at Rincón Brewing Company, or pick up surf-inspired artisan crafts before heading home.  

    You can also head west to Deportivo del Oeste, a charming course near Mayagüez and Cabo Rojo, known for their artistic communities and scenic coastlines. Wrap up your trip with a meal at a seaside shack or tucked-away mountain eatery — where the flavors are bold, the culture vibrant, and the memories lasting.
