In recent years, the Condado neighborhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico has become a new Caribbean capital of chic.

From luxury boutiques like Ferragamo and Cartier to hip hotels like the O:live and the Serafina, it’s become a magnet for travelers in search of the next “it” destination.

And yes, you can live there, too.

The latest addition to Condado’s surging real estate market is the Costa Condado Penthouse, which has been listed for $825,000 with Puerto Rico Sotheby’s International Realty.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom property has a whopping 4,377 square feet of interior square footage, with amenities highlighted by a sweeping rooftop terrace with views of the city.

It’s a way to live in the heart of one of the hottest communities in the Caribbean.

Sir Richard Branson’s highly-anticipated cruise line has revealed its first-ever port in the Caribbean: Cuba.

Virgin Voyages’ first ship, Scarlet Lady, which will launch in 2020 out of PortMiami, will make Havana its first port of call, the company announced Wednesday.

“We’re going to Cuba,” the company said in a statement.

Virgin Voyages, which will be an exclusively adults-only cruise line (or as Virgin calls it “adult by design,”, is looking to disrupt the Caribbean cruise industry with provocative design, unorthodox amenities like on-ship tattoo parlors and what seems to be a clear focus on millennial travelers (although not exclusively).

Virgin is looking to change the, well, look of cruise ships.

Virgin has an initial launch planned of three cruise ships, spearheaded by the aforementioned Scarlet Lady.

The company has already launched sales for its first itineraries.
