Welcome to Boulders — Two Private Casita Lofts, Pool, and Sweeping Caribbean Views
Escape to Boulders, a serene eco-retreat immersed in lush surroundings, where comfort, beauty, and sustainability meet. Thoughtfully designed by renowned Canadian architect John Hix to harmonize with the land, Boulders invites you to slow down, reconnect, and feel one with nature.
The property features two fully equipped casita lofts, each offering spectacular views, breezy interiors, and access to a stunning 60-foot lap pool and open-air great room that blur the boundaries between indoor comfort and outdoor freedom.
Two Serene Casita Lofts
Each loft is crafted to immerse you in the natural rhythms of the Caribbean—welcoming the breeze, the birdsong, and the shifting light of day.
• Upper Casita Loft
Screened for comfort with direct access to the rooftop terrace—your ideal perch for sunrise meditations or sunset stargazing.
• Lower Casita Loft
Fully open to the outdoors, with a secluded patio nestled in greenery—ideal for morning yoga or quiet reflection.
Wake to the distant soft crow of roosters, birdsong and sea air. A plush king-size bed with flowing mosquito netting offers a cozy retreat (convertible into two twins upon request). Enjoy bamboo linens and towels, and an outdoor shower that lets you bathe in sunlight and sea breeze.
Sitting in one of the window openings with your morning cup and watching the sun come up in the Caribbean is an unforgettable experience!
In-Room Kitchenettes & Workspace
Each casita includes a well-stocked kitchenette with:
• Mid-size refrigerator
• Two gas burners
• Sink
• French press & toaster
• Breakfast essentials
Plus a small desk—perfect for journaling or remote work.
Resort-Style Pool & Open-Air Great Room
Swim laps or lounge by the 60-foot solar-fed pool with ocean views. Surrounded by native plants and birds, the pool area offers a tranquil space to rest and reflect.
The zen-like open-air great room flanks the pool, and welcomes you to cook, dine, or relax in the breeze. It’s an easygoing, artful gathering space where the indoors and outdoors become one.
Off-Grid Luxury in Harmony with Nature
Boulders runs on solar power and a rain-fed cistern, so your stay leaves a light footprint. Reliable WiFi is available, but nature is the real connection.
Whether you’re seeking peace, adventure, or a deeper bond with the land, Boulders offers a rejuvenating experience rooted in the natural beauty of the Caribbean.
ABOUT VIEQUES
An island apart from an island, Vieques is the ‘Little Sister’ of nearby Puerto Rico. A tiny Caribbean island that’s sparsely populated, unspoiled and undeveloped. Vieques is a rare treasure to find these days when so many other islands are sprouting mega hotels. Vieques was recently named “Best Island in the Caribbean” by a popular travel magazine, but we will let you decide that for yourself! Get out and go! See Vieques and enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, horseback riding and dozens of cultural and historic locales… Or imagine yourself relaxing on a remote beach, doing nothing at all!
Vieques abounds with things to do- take a stroll on the quiet beachfront boardwalk in Esperanza, ride a bike to a nearby beach… or you might take a walk into the rock strewn hills beyond Boulders. For those looking to explore the island, Vieques has many opportunities.
Here's a list to help you plan:
THE VIEQUES BIOLUMINESCENT BAY
Caused by micro-organisms and chemistry, the experience of seeing the mystifying, glowing waters can only be called magical. The World’s best, most well-preserved Bioluminescent bay is here in Vieques. It is not to be missed!
SNORKELING AND SCUBA DIVING
The endless Vieques coasts have entire worlds below the waves. You can find gorgeous, world-class coral reefs all around the island. Go snorkeling along the shores, or plan a Scuba trip and take a boat dive.
KAYAKS AND SUP
For the adventurous, single or double ocean kayaks, as well as stand up paddle boards, can also be rented
BEACH TOURING
With so many gorgeous and easily-accessible beaches, the trouble is choosing which ones to visit! Take your rental vehicle to the most distant, and go beach hopping, or let a local point out their personal favorites.
HORSEBACK RIDING
You will see plenty of horses, wild and kept, during your stay on Vieques. Why not ride one? Esperanza Riding Company offers morning and sunset rides through the hills and along the beaches, and will take you to both Coconut Beach and Playa Negra, aka Black Sand Beach.
HISTORIC LOCATIONS
You can find history all around Vieques; a late Spanish Fort in our capital Isabel Segunda, now a museum, tour Navy relics, explore plantation ruins and see ancient Taino villages. There is a rich history to the island that you can uncover. Right in the middle of Esperanza you'll find the Vieques Conservation and Historic Trust, a small museum featuring local historic relics, art exhibits, and plenty of information about the fascinating ecosystem of the island. Visit the World’s Smallest Aquarium! The gift shop offers a variety of books with a decidedly local flavor.
DINING
‘Fine dining’ might mean localy caught lobsters and fish under candle light or eating finger foods along the beach. Vieques has an up-and-coming restaurant scene with food by creative gourmet chefs and authentic Caribbean cooks. It is to your taste where you dine in Vieques.
SHOPPING
Update your beachwear or get outfitted for your aquatic adventures at small shops. Pick up local handiworks (the best souvenirs) at boardwalk kiosks. All this, along the Esperanza Malecón! And more in the town of Isabel Segunda.

Just as advertised it was so incredible being perched up there with so much privacy and beauty to behold. The birds were up early and the frogs were a chorus in the evening which was incredible to hear. Host was quick to respond to anything, the pool divine, the people all friendly, the beaches so peaceful, uncrowded and the water delicious to swim in. We want to go back! If low key is your jam, Vieques is the place for you.

This property was exactly what we were looking for.
It was accessible while also offering privacy. The pool was very relaxing and a great way to cool off in the heat. The rooms opened up to a great view and allowed in a great breeze to help keep things cool.
If you want to really get away and enjoy the nature of the island, this place is for you. We did a lot of reading, hiking, swimming, and relaxing. The wifi was also fantastic, allowing us to curl up and watch a movie on our computers if we wanted.
The location also was perfect! Just a short 10 minute drive to restaurants and beautiful beaches.
We can't recommend this place enough!

This was my first visit to Vieques, so it was difficult to choose a place and location to stay. The description of the Boulders, along with all of the pictures of the gorgeous surroundings certainly piqued my interested. I emailed Katrina, the owner expressing my interest. She was very responsive via email and phone. She was professional, polite, accommodating and flexible with a special request that I had. She made our booking experience easy, and she provided some helpful and honest information about Vieques and her property. Colleen, the property manager that lives in Vieques then became our point of contact. She gathered the necessary information from us and scheduled to pick us up at the airport and escort us to the car rental & property. In her email, she included a list of restaurants, excursions, grocery stores, and numerous other suggestions akin to a personal guide book of the island. It felt less like pushing her "friends" businesses and more like an awesome guide book from a local. This, along with a couple of other references/maps, became our bible to Vieques. Once Colleen kindly escorted us to the property, she suggested taking in a quiet view of the sunset and she left us on our own. She reminded us that she was available for any problems or suggestions during our stay on the island. WOW! She was so very helpful. About the property, the architecture was magnificent. The concrete structure felt clean and natural. We absolutely loved the bathroom and alfresco shower. There's nothing like communing with nature in that way. It was delicious! The bed was so comfortable, linens were lovely, mosquito net was necessary. The pool was great for exercise or just a dip with a phenomenal view. It all was simple and wonderful. We watched the sunrise, the sunset, and a little in between running around and enjoying much of what the island has to offer. I found the Boulders to be a perfect, private, romantic getaway with my husband. This place will always have a special place in my heart. THANK YOU! We plan to go back the next time we are in Vieques. In the interest of full disclosure, the roosters crow; the mosquitoes bite. Take your earplugs if you need them. Take some garlic pills and bug spray too. Just go.
