An Emerald Paradise

House in Rainforest - Luquillo

6 guests · 3 bed · 3 bath | pool

This vacation house rental is a laidback luxury sprawled between a saltwater pool and seven acres of Puerto Rico's El Yunque’s emerald rainforest.

CONCEPT

The most challenging part of staying at Selva is deciding where to lounge. A cushioned corner overlooking the garden? A stool at the bar in the open modern kitchen? The mountain-view patio hammock? The firepit with a glass of wine? The giant outdoor rainfall shower? The deck of the heated saltwater pool that gazes out over tropical trees to mountains beyond mountains in the distance? This chic three-bedroom three-bath house in dreamy El Yunque comes with all of the above plus its own private hiking trail, designer floral arrangements installations, and custom furniture. Though it feels deliriously remote, Selva is under an hour from San Juan, and a perfect home base for excursions to Vieques, midnight paddles in Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bay, fresh seafood dinners in Luquillo, and catamaran snorkeling trips to quiet miles of uninhabited beach.

LIVING AREA

Soft curves, wispy lamps, and custom concrete and wood furniture make Selva’s living area stylish and unique without sacrificing coziness or comfort. Tropical plants and enormous windows bring the outside in whether you’re reading, chatting, stretching through some evening yoga, or enjoying a quiet morning breakfast.

POOL & GAZEBO

LOUNGE

DECK & FIRE PIT

Making use of every jawdropping view, Selva’s outside spaces are special and plentiful: divine outdoor showers off of every bedroom, private balconies, hammocks, even a private nature hiking trail that weaves through the rainforest to beautiful and unexpected vistas. Selva also offers a heated saltwater swimming pool (perched before an endless view of rainforest and turquoise Caribbean sea). Sunbathe on the wide breezy decks. Share an afternoon sip beneath the shade of our custom gazebo. Or stargaze beside the fire pit as tropical birds call out a sky lush with stars.

KITCHEN

Open and inviting, Selva’s dining room is equally suited to laidback lunches with friends and to elegant evenings of entertaining. Branching out from the home’s stunning open kitchen, enormous windows and sliding glass doors offer unsurpassable ambiance and a seamless transition from the six-person dining table and velvet conversation chairs to the wide deck, pool, and dense surrounding rainforest. Like all DW houses, the kitchen is equipped with every cooking and serving necessity from the full-size oven, espresso machine and blender to wine glasses and barbecue utensils for the charcoal grill located conveniently just outside.

BEDROOM 1

Entirely surrounded by expansive picture windows framing mountain views and lush jungle, this king-size room is a soothing haven of rattan lamps, soft neutrals, and natural fiber rugs. Sliding glass doors open to a sun-dappled private balcony with lounge chairs and a breezy outdoor rain shower.
