Puerto Rico serves up the Caribbean at its most vibrant and varied. The cobbled, colour-washed streets of Old San Juan pulse with history and music, while golden beaches and warm turquoise seas ring the entire island.

Nature here is spectacular: hike the only tropical rainforest in the US forest system, and kayak across bioluminescent bays that glow electric blue after dark, a genuine bucket-list wonder for families.

With easy connectivity, a superb food and music scene, and endless soft adventure from surfing to snorkelling, this compact island delivers a rich, rhythm-filled escape that is easy to fall in love with.
