Culebra, Puerto Rico This isn’t the Puerto Rico you know. Far from the bustle of San Juan, this gem of the so-called Spanish Virgin Islands (along with Vieques) is a place to turn down the volume on your life. There’s just one notable hotel, Club Seabourne, and a cluster of villas scattered across the island. And then there’s the centerpiece: Playa Flamenco, the ultra-calm, impossibly white beach that’s among the best anywhere in the Caribbean.
