OSCAR DE LA HOYA Buys in Bahia Beach, Puerto Rico
BAHIA BEACH, PUERTO RICO (Sept. 25, 2009) - Oscar de la Hoya, "The Golden Boy" of American boxing, has a new home on the island of Puerto Rico. De la Hoya and his wife, the Puerto Rican pop singer Millie Corretjer, bought a spectacular estate in the exclusive The St. Regis Residences, Las Estancias of Bahia Beach, a new five-star resort community.
"I have traveled all over the world," de la Hoya said, "but there is something special about Bahia - I have never found a place more serene and beautiful than this natural sanctuary; it is like a piece of paradise."
The De la Hoya family purchased a one-and-a-half acre lot where their majestic estate home is being developed on a private island within Bahia offering unparalleled views of the ocean, lakes, golf course and El Yunque Rainforest. Oscar and Mille will also enjoy their new passion for golf as they take on Bahia's new Robert Trent Jones jr. golf course which was recently recognized by the Robb Report as the "Best of the Best." Bahia Beach offers residents exciting amenities, including a two-mile stretch of beach, lakes running throughout for kayaking, canoeing and fishing, a tennis center, and miles of lush, unspoiled hiking trails through a pristine tropical forest.
The jewel in Bahia Beach's crown, however, is the oceanfront St. Regis Resort & Residences, scheduled to open mid-2010. In addition to the resort itself, the De la Hoyas will enjoy all of the services and amenities of the hotel including the acclaimed Remede Spa and Fitness Center, a Jean-Georges signature restaurant and a beachfront esplanade featuring an oceanfront swimming pool.
