WEDDING BELLS RING AT VIRTUOSO® PREVIEW HOTEL
St. Regis Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico, Offers the Ideal Wedding Destination

NEW YORK (April 7, 2011) – For destination weddings and romantic getaways, the St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort brings sophistication and elegance to the pristine beaches of Puerto Rico for couples seeking a perfect setting for lifelong memories. As a member of Virtuoso’s^® prestigious Preview Program, the resort attends to every wedding detail with intimate care. Whether planning a social event for a large number of guests or an intimate gathering with a few cherished friends and family, St Regis Bahia Beach’s ocean-view wedding pavilion and the spacious Astor Ballroom set the stage for luxurious weddings and grand occasions in true St Regis style.

The bride to be and her ‘ladies in waiting’ can relax before the big day with a day of pampering and bonding at the resort’s serene Remède Spa. The spa offers a comprehensive menu of facials, massages and body treatments to give the bridal party a special glow and rejuvenation. In addition to tailored services, the spa offers personalized care combined with signature touches such as chilled Champagne, Jacques Torres truffles and Kashwere throws.

The men in the wedding party are not to be forgotten! If a day at the spa is not the relaxing activity of their choice, St. Regis Bahia Beach has the perfect pastime – a round of world-class golf. Robert Trent Jones Jr., one of the world’s pre-eminent golf course architects, designed the spectacular golf course at Bahia Beach. Committed to preserving the natural integrity of each site, Jones enhanced sensitive environments while providing challenging variety. With impressive greens along the ocean, scenic lakes, undulating fairways and gentle ocean breezes, the course’s breathtaking splendor is matched only by the superlative play it offers to golfers of all abilities.

St. Regis Bahia Beach is situated on 483 acres of a former coconut plantation and native maritime forest. The Caribbean’s first and only Certified Gold Audubon Signature Sanctuary, the resort introduces an unrivaled dimension of bespoke hospitality to Puerto Rico. Along with the Remède Spa and the Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, the resort offers 139 beautifully appointed rooms, exceptional meeting facilities, the Iguana’s Kids Club and Fern – a Jean-Georges restaurant.

In addition to the world-class service and amenities offered at the property, other benefits of the resort include its close proximity to the airport (a simple 30-minute commute); easy accessibility to San Juan (30 minutes); and its location at the foot of the El Yunque National Forest. Puerto Rico also offers travelers advantages as a destination, as the island has several direct flights available from many markets and passports are not required.
