"Independently-owned Villa Montaña offers all of the services of a resort while retaining the personable character of a boutique stay. Three miles of beach and 35 acres of lush greenery combine for a secluded collection of rooms and villas, spaciously scattered throughout a special slice of nature. Hacienda-style structures dot the property, whitewashed with terracotta tiling and Spanish colonial-style accents. It adds up to casual elegance with a stunning front-row view of the beach. There are a surprising amount of amenities for a boutique resort, including two pools, fishing, wind and kite surfing, scuba, complimentary beach cruiser bicycles, complimentary snorkel equipment and horseback riding on the beach. Also, Chef Rafael Grau’s Eclipse is regarded as one of the best restaurants on the island." - Kathleen Squires
