Rican Ritz
Escape Miami's Memorial Day weekend mayhem by hopping a flight to Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve just west of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The former plantation and swank, midcentury modern resort for Hollywood royalty consecutively owned by Dr. Alfred Livingston and Laurance S. Rockefeller has undergone a stunning $342 million makeover replete with lily ponds and nature trails. Taking advantage of a mile-long stretch of white sand, each of its 115 guestrooms and four restaurants sits mere steps from the sea. Su Casa, a large pink hacienda dating from the 1920s, has also been restored for rental. Book a lesson with legendary golf pro Chi Chi Rodriguez to play top-notch East Course, followed by a blissful, tree-house treatment at eco-friendly Spa Botanico.

Jose's House
While staying at the Ritz, dine at Mi Casa, yet another showstopper from James Beard award-winning chef Jose Andres. Just as the Spanish toque incorporates local flavor into his Iberian menu at the Bazaar in Miami Beach, he researched Puerto Rico's culinary heritage, known as cocina criolla, from mofongo to roasted pork prepared at roadside stands. He was pleasantly surprised to find many similarities between the island's natural beauty, blend of cultures and simple ingredients and his childhood memories of Asturias. In addition to his tapas and molecular gastronomy standards, the famed regional cocktail pina colada is reinvented as an oyster appetizer, and Guavate lechon, named for the nearby barrio that's home to the delicacy, is served with caramelized mango. Finish with passion fruit flan.

Soul Strings
A tropical holiday calls for bright baubles. Enter The FFS, insanely fun jewelry designed by real life and soul sisters Cheryl Freeman and Donna Freeman Hughes of San Francisco and Miami, respectively. Their haute, multimedia looks with an ethnic twist have already caught the eye of Barneys stores nationwide and Base boutique in Miami Beach. Globally sourcing and stringing together odds and ends such as oxidized copper from Ethiopia, and recycled vulcanite from Portugal, they also incorporate high-low materials such as diamonds, turquoise beads, braided leather and charms. There are subdued versions of bracelets for men. Also pick up one of their adorable bags in African Ankara prints that go from beach to bar in a snap.

For Shore
Though named after Sunset Beach in Shelter Island, N.Y., 6 Shore Road resortwear flew south for its Summer 2013 collection. Every season, founder and designer Pooja Kharbanda chooses a different destination as inspiration, and Old San Juan in Puerto Rico tickled her fancy this time. (The Indian native first got a taste for the Latin American lifestyle growing up in Panama.) Look right at home on the Caribbean island in her "Fortress" jumpsuit in a turquoise geometric print with bright pink embroidered waist. The "Ricon" one-piece swimsuit's sexy woven side straps aren't tan-friendly, but sure look good. Top off outfits with one of her cute colorful turbans. The line is available at Big Drop, Jessie and Nikki Beach in Miami Beach.
