What internet speeds are available in your Puerto Rico vacation rentals for remote work?

All 10 of our luxury properties in Condado feature 1 Gbps fiber internet, providing enterprise-grade connectivity for video conferencing, large file transfers, and multi-device usage. This is significantly faster than the average internet speed in Puerto Rico and rivals the best connectivity available in major US cities. Our network is professionally maintained with redundant connections to minimize downtime. Digital nomads working from our properties consistently report seamless performance for demanding tasks including software development, design work, and HD video calls.

Are there coworking spaces near your properties in Condado?

Yes, Condado and the broader San Juan metro area offer several coworking spaces within easy reach of our properties. Piloto 151 in Old San Juan is one of the largest and most popular, offering day passes and monthly memberships. Engine-4 in Bayamón serves the tech community. Several cafes in Condado also cater to remote workers with reliable Wi-Fi and comfortable seating. That said, many of our guests find that our properties with 1 Gbps internet and dedicated workspace areas provide everything they need without leaving the apartment.

Do digital nomads need a visa to work remotely from Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is a US territory, so US citizens and permanent residents do not need a passport or visa to live and work here. You can simply arrive with a government-issued ID and start working immediately. For international digital nomads, the same visa requirements that apply to the US mainland apply to Puerto Rico. This makes Puerto Rico one of the easiest tropical destinations for US-based remote workers to relocate to, with no immigration paperwork, the same currency, and full access to US banking, mail, and services.

Is there a digital nomad community in San Juan?

San Juan has a growing and active digital nomad community, particularly in Condado, Santurce, and Old San Juan. Regular meetups, networking events, and social gatherings bring together remote workers, entrepreneurs, and Act 60 decree holders. The community is diverse, international, and welcoming to newcomers. Online groups on Facebook, Slack, and WhatsApp help new arrivals connect and find resources. Many digital nomads are drawn to Puerto Rico by the combination of tropical lifestyle, US territory benefits, favorable tax incentives, and a critical mass of like-minded professionals.

What are the tax benefits of working remotely from Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico offers significant tax incentives through Act 60 (formerly Acts 20 and 22) for individuals and businesses that establish bona fide residency on the island. Qualifying individuals may benefit from reduced or zero capital gains taxes, and export service businesses can qualify for a 4% corporate tax rate. Becoming a bona fide resident requires spending at least 183 days per year in Puerto Rico, establishing a tax home, and developing closer connections to the island. We recommend consulting a qualified tax professional to understand eligibility and requirements specific to your situation.

What is the cost of living for digital nomads in Puerto Rico?

The cost of living in San Juan's Condado area is comparable to mid-tier US cities. Dining out ranges from $10 to $15 for casual meals to $50 or more for upscale restaurants. Groceries are 10% to 20% higher than the US mainland due to shipping costs. Transportation is affordable with ride-sharing widely available. Our monthly rental rates for extended stays offer significant savings compared to nightly rates, making long-term remote work financially practical. Utilities, healthcare through the US system, and other services are readily available. The overall value proposition improves dramatically when factoring in potential Act 60 tax savings.

How reliable is the power and internet infrastructure in Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico's power grid has improved significantly since Hurricane Maria in 2017, though outages can still occur. In Condado, the infrastructure is among the most reliable on the island due to its commercial importance. Our properties feature 1 Gbps fiber internet from Liberty, which operates on a separate network from the power grid and often maintains connectivity during brief outages. We recommend that digital nomads working on critical projects maintain a mobile hotspot as backup. Battery backup systems are in place at our key properties to support internet equipment during short power interruptions.
