Vieques
Puerto Rico
Tel: 787 741 1128
The beachfront Bravo sits on the northern coast of the still-sleepy island of Vieques, seven miles off Puerto Rico. Formerly a nothing-special motel, it has reopened as a stylish compound painted in David Hockney pastels; in seven of the nine rooms and in the adjacent two-bedroom villa, you can look straight out to sea from floor-to-ceiling windows. Inside, rooms flaunt Frette linens, DVD players, Nintendo, and wireless Internet access. Bathrooms are tiny (no tubs) but are stocked with thick towels and Aveda toiletries. Although there is no proper restaurant, a Dean & Deluca–style grocery called Chef Michael's FoodSpace sells imported wines, cheeses, and other fancy foodstuffs, and a few nights a month Chef Michael himself serves dinner by the pool; at other times, guests in search of good food simply have to walk a few minutes into town.
