The St. Regis Bahia Beach in Puerto Rico offers more than just luxurious accommodations and amenities. While guests can enjoy world-class dining, a premier golf course, and stunning beachfront views set in lush jungle surroundings, what truly sets this five-star hotel apart is its commitment to environmental and animal welfare.
Partnering with the non-profit Alma de Bahia, the hotel works to protect the local ecosystem within its 483-acre nature reserve. Together, they protect leatherback turtle nests during nesting season, assist hatchlings in reaching the ocean, and recently aided in releasing manatees back into the wild. The hotel and Alma de Bahia have also established the Sato and Gato Rescue, an on-site pet shelter and cat sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray animals.
Guests of the hotel have the unique opportunity to visit the shelter, take dogs for walks, and even foster them in their rooms during their stay. For those looking to make a lasting impact, they can adopt a dog or cat and bring them home. All animals are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and adoption fees are waived. The hotel has all the necessary paperwork and contacts to ensure the pets can be flown to their new homes.
For those choosing to foster during their stay, hotel staff will provide a pet bed and all necessary supplies to care for the animals. Whether you’re considering adopting a pet, looking to add a furry friend to your family, or simply want a vacation that gives back, The St. Regis Bahia Beach offers a truly rewarding experience.
