Auberge Resorts Collection, the award-winning portfolio of one-of-a-kind luxury hotels, resorts and residences, has been selected to manage Moncayo, Auberge Resorts Collection, a new beachfront resort and exclusive collection of Resort Villas and Private Residences set within Moncayo, the 1,100-acre community on Puerto Rico's pristine eastern shoreline. Moncayo is led by leading real estate firms, Juniper Capital and Capital United, and renowned investors and philanthropists, José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones.

A transformative sanctuary and effortless gateway to the diverse splendors of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Sea, Moncayo will enrich the lives of guests, residents and locals alike. A natural paradise between the jungle-cloaked mountains of El Yunque National Forest and Puerto del Rey, the Caribbean's largest marina, Moncayo will offer endless opportunities for exploration and adventure when it debuts in 2027.

Primely positioned as a boaters' paradise, residents and guests will enjoy easy day trips to the Spanish, U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and beyond. A constantly evolving, Auberge-curated program of experiences will reveal the intricate tapestry of island life, its incredible biodiversity and intriguing culture. From dawn meditations to guided jungle hikes, diving and sport fishing adventures to art-fueled nights alive with salsa rhythms, every moment will invite engagement, connection and the making of unforgettable memories.

With its hill-cradled, beachfront setting, Moncayo, Auberge Resorts Collection will be its own vibrant private enclave within the exclusive Moncayo residential community. Every Guest Suite, Resort Villa and Branded Private Residence will offer unobstructed views of picturesque Isla de Ramos, Vieques and Culebra in the Caribbean Sea's azure expanse. Conceived by internationally acclaimed design practice, Studio Paolo Ferrari, the 68-suite and 15-villa resort, with its unrivaled lifestyle amenities, will rest right on the shore, where pure white sands are lapped by the crystal-clear waters of multiple marine reserves. The Branded Private Residences will be nature-framed havens claiming incredible open vistas from loftier, hillside locales—still just moments from the beach and resort amenities.

Framing mesmerizing sea views, each of the resort's Guest Suites will connect seamlessly with the beauty of Moncayo's surrounding nature. Set within their own private gardens with water features, plunge pools, landscaped decks and cabanas, the guest suites will transition almost imperceptibly from the outdoor realm to serene, light-filled interiors. Pure, natural materials will inspire tranquility in generous living and dining spaces and one or two bedrooms, while unique cultural touches and design details will evoke a distinct sense of place.

The three- and four-bedroom, free-standing Resort Villas will offer the same luxurious, oceanfront living experience of unparalleled comfort and refinement over two expansive levels. Perched above the beachfront, each will deliver awe-inducing sea views from indoor and outdoor kitchen, dining and entertainment areas, opening onto infinity swimming and spa pools. Along with the convenience of turnkey, lock-and-leave ownership, Resort Villa owners will also benefit from optional participation in the resort rental program when not in residence.

Designed for full-time living with private amenities and comprehensive concierge and management services, the fully appointed Private Residences will be expansive homes offering everything a single family might need. Terraced masterpieces of tropical design—options will include first-floor residences with walk-up and walk-out access, second-floor residences with wraparound balconies and premium third-story penthouses with rooftop pools and garden terraces. All will boast generous outdoor spaces, chef's kitchens, open-plan layouts and the finest finishes and furnishings. Residents will enjoy access to their own Clubhouse, as well as dedicated fitness and wellness facilities. All property owners will have the opportunity to join the Caribbean's premier private club, The Moncayo Ocean Club.

The resort itself will be a lushly landscaped oasis. A series of oversized, natural-edge swimming pools will cascade lagoon-like to the beachfront via ocean-view cabanas and other spaces designed for gathering and reflection, indoors and out. A diverse collection of dining and events venues will range from exquisite hilltop restaurants and a signature rooftop bar to casual, waterside eateries and lounges. These will celebrate local and global cuisines and host engaging pop-ups and live entertainment, establishing Moncayo as the region's most inspiring culinary and social capital. The resort's destination Auberge Spa will draw inspiration from the island's tropical pharmacopeia and respectfully honor Taíno healing traditions to craft personalized wellness journeys enhancing vitality and optimizing wellbeing.

The resort will also provide guests privileged access to the wider Moncayo community's exceptional amenities. These have been conceived by global architectural icon, Hart Howerton, to foster a lifetime of longevity-enhancing community and cultural connections. Moncayo's village center will be a thriving hub, its restaurants and market supplied by a 100-acre organic farm. Vital to the sustainable nature of Moncayo and the wellbeing of its inhabitants, the farm will champion eco-conscious, regenerative agriculture to put the freshest, most wholesome ingredients on every table. Beyond the farm, a 400-acre

nature reserve will fringe the championship Mackenzie & Ebert-designed golf course. World-class infrastructure will include a K-12 international school and comprehensive medical and wellness centers, while an array of sport and social clubs will engage every age and interest.
