The recent launch of Moncayo, Puerto Rico, an expansive 1,100-acre private community nestled in Fajardo on Puerto Rico’s eastern coast, heralds a transformative chapter in luxury residential living.
Moncayo will encompass a luxurious 68-key oceanfront hotel and 400 exclusive residences, masterfully designed by Hart Howerton—a design studio renowned for its acclaimed projects such as Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina, Half Moon Resort in Jamaica, and Chileno Bay in Mexico. In crafting this community, Hart Howerton was entrusted with the task of preserving Puerto Rico’s rich cultural heritage and environmental integrity. The resulting design elegantly intertwines the island’s storied past, incorporating influences from Taino, Spanish Colonial, and modernist traditions into a sophisticated tropical aesthetic.
The master plan of Moncayo is a visionary framework that honors the island’s lush ecosystem. The architectural design harmonizes seamlessly with the landscape, marrying modern luxury with Puerto Rico’s natural splendor. This community resides in an area celebrated for its rich biodiversity, offering breathtaking vistas of the nearby mountains and the glistening Caribbean Sea. At the heart of Moncayo’s mission is the preservation of this remarkable landscape while providing an innovative residential experience.
This multi-phase development encompasses every element sought by today’s discerning homeowner—sustainability, premier amenities, and comprehensive wellness programs—all set within an extraordinarily picturesque environment. Moreover, Moncayo will introduce an accredited K-12 charter school, a walkable village featuring boutique retail experiences, Class A office spaces, sustainable agricultural practices, and a concierge medical clinic. Moncayo not only delivers exquisite residences but fosters a vibrant community life designed to promote longevity and personal growth.
“Longevity is the ultimate luxury,” asserts developer Carter Redd of Juniper Capital. “We embark on this journey with each resident, ensuring that wellness, adventure, and personal growth are integral to daily life at Moncayo.”
Embracing Local Culture
While Moncayo serves as a tranquil sanctuary, it also invites residents to immerse themselves in Puerto Rico’s vibrant cultural tapestry. The surrounding area brims with activities, from visiting local markets showcasing artisanal crafts to indulging in traditional meals at nearby eateries that celebrate the island’s rich culinary heritage. Puerto Rican cuisine, a delightful fusion of Spanish, African, and indigenous Taino influences, offers a myriad of flavors to explore, including the beloved mofongo, arroz con gandules, pasteles, tostones, pernil, and asopao. Residents can engage in salsa dancing classes with local instructors or witness traditional bomba performances that celebrate Puerto Rico’s rich heritage.
A Day at Moncayo Puerto Rico
Picture your day at Moncayo: as you step onto your private terrace, the symphony of coqui frogs fills the air, and the intoxicating fragrance of tropical blooms envelops you. With the majestic El Yunque mountains as a backdrop, the area features serene lakes, protected groves, soaring plateaus, and dramatic coastlines waiting to be explored. The unspoiled beach at the property’s base offers sweeping views of the Caribbean, Vieques, and Culebra.
Your breakfast will consist of exquisite, locally sourced ingredients: succulent mango, avocado, and golden plantains, complemented by homemade pan sobao—Puerto Rico’s signature soft, sweet bread—or a buttery mallorca, a cherished pastry dusted with powdered sugar. Freshly squeezed tropical juices and rich Puerto Rican coffee from Moncayo’s own 100-acre organic farm complete this memorable meal.
Exploration and Wellness
Next, a stroll through the Organic Farm & Nursery beckons. Moncayo draws inspiration from the world’s longevity “blue zones,” areas renowned for their inhabitants’ extended lifespans, characterized by their healthy diets and active lifestyles. The community features a 100-acre organic farm employing sustainable practices such as hydroponics, water conservation, composting, and solar grazing. Already staffed and anticipating its first crop of mangoes, papaya, and more, the farm will provide residents and neighbors with fresh produce, enriching the culinary offerings throughout the community.
For those inclined towards recreation, the Moncayo Ocean Club will encompass an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Mackenzie & Ebert, alongside a Family Short Course exclusively for residents and guests. After perfecting your swing at the club’s training center, you may opt for refreshments at the Club House or embark on a boating adventure, exploring nearby waters or relaxing on a private island beach.
If fitness is your preference, the Athletic Club will feature a state-of-the-art fitness center and courts for tennis, pickleball, and paddle tennis. Following an invigorating day, indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments designed to pamper and restore.
Culinary Excellence
As evening descends, a tranquil dinner at one of Moncayo’s farm-to-table restaurants offers a fitting conclusion to your day. Savor elevated cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients, expertly paired wines, and the creativity of celebrated chefs.
