Bad Bunny Reveals His Favorite Places In Puerto Rico In His Lyrics—Here's How To Visit
'Se ve lindo hasta en Google Maps,' says Bad Bunny of his native Puerto Rico in his song 'Me Fui de Vacaciones:' Puerto Rico looks beautiful even on Google Maps. If there 's one thread tying together every diverse piece of the musical career of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, it has been his love for his island.
Now, as fan flock to Puerto Rico to experience Bad Bunny's 30-show No me quiero ir de aqui summer residency, they don't need to look any further than the artist's own lyrics to plan their visit from Puerto Rico from start to finish.
Visitors be warned: Bad Bunny has long maintained that there are some spots on the island that he is keeping to himself. 'Lo mejor nunca se sube... si pongo el location, ya no e' un secret spot.' Translation: the best is never uploaded; because if I add the location, it is no longer a secret spot. However, Bad Bunny has left enough clues in his lyrics to set fans up for the Puerto Rico vacation of a lifetime, whether they're headed to the beach before his concert or for a warm weather getaway once summer ends.
The Santurce neighborhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Discover Puerto Rico
Cool, colorful Santurce is one of the largest neighborhoods in San Juan, packed with art galleries, shops, bars and restaurants that make it one of the liveliest spots in the city. While there's plenty to see and do in one of Bad Bunny's favorite neighborhoods, most visitors head straight to Calle Loiza to check out murals and street art, or the stately Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, which boasts an impressive collection of the island's best.
Make sure to head to La Placita de Santurce as night falls, for 'un perreo sucio en la Placita,' recommends Bad Bunny in 'Te Boté - Remix.' A market by day, the area is packed with some of the best bars and restaurants in the city, but as night falls, it alights with music and dancing. Stop for a drink at La Penúltima, named to the World's 50 Best Discovery list for it's inventive, island-inspired cocktails, before stopping at La Alcapurria Quemá for Puerto Rican staple dishes like mofongo, alcapurrias, and carne frita.
Bad Bunny compares Puerto Rico's Palomino Island to the Maldives. Discover Puerto Rico Palomino Island 'Pichea Maldiva', yo me quedo en Palomino' - 'El Apagón,' Un Verano Sin Ti
'Forget the Maldives, I'm staying in Palomino,' says Bad Bunny on one of his most popular tracks off his fourth album. It's a fitting word of praise for an island that puts even the dreamiest tropical paradise to shame. Take a short boat ride from Fajardo on the island's east coast and within minutes, the tiny 100-acre island of Palomino Island comes into view, little more than stretches of white sand, a fringe of feathery palms, and expanses of impossibly blue sea.
Nowadays, Palomino is only accessible via El Conquistador Resort, which sits facing the island on the Puerto Rican mainland. The resort offers guests boat transportation to and from the island throughout the day, along with beach chairs and cabanas, gear for water sports and snorkeling, and a bar and grill serving up beachside fare all day.
Fifty Eight is a nightclub located in San Juan's La Concha Resort, a legendary destination mentioned specifically in the lyrics of Bad Bunny and countless other Spanish-language musicians. Condado Collection Fifty Eight 'Ayer te vieron dizque en Fifty Eight con otro tipo' - 'Yo No Soy Celoso,' Un Verano Sin Ti
Hidden away within the lower level of a beach front resort in San Juan's sexy Condado neighborhood, Fifty Eight is nothing less than a mythical destination among fans of reguetón and Latin trap music. This pulsing nightclub is has been mentioned by name by everyone who can get their hands on a mic these days, from Feid and Ozuna to Bad Bunny and Jhayco, who has an entire song named about the spot. Eagle-eyed fans can even spot it's unmistakable light-paneled ceiling and stages in the background of countless music videos starring San Juan's creative elite.
Partying the night away at Fifty Eight is just one reason to visit La Concha Resort these days. Long considered one of the coolest places to stay in San Juan, it's better than ever after a top-to-toe facelift that updated and expanded rooms, introduced the brand new Elemara Spa & Salon, and added dining options like hand-rolled sushi at Tekka Bar and fresh seafood at Levant by the Michelin-starred Chef Michael White.
Isabela is known as one of Puerto Rico's most beautiful beach towns. Discover Puerto Rico Isabela 'Puedo ver el paraíso llegando a Isabela' - 'Me Fui de Vacaciones,' Un Verano Sin Ti
If Bad Bunny calls it paradise itself, you know it has to be good. Located on the northern coast of Puerto Rico, Isabela is home to what is considered one of the best beaches in Puerto Rico: Playa Jobos. While this long stretch of golden sand is undeniably stunning, Isabela has so much more to offer than just a singular beach, with its serene, small-town vibe making it a favorite getaway destination from San Juan.
Playa Jobos appeals to surfers and swimmers alike, with sections of the beach offering choppier, wavier conditions and others perfectly peaceful and ideal for families. There's not a single oversized beach resort here, and that's a major part of Isabela's appeal; instead, boutique inns, beachfront rentals and even camping facilities in nearby Guajataca State Forest make it a more accessible destination for visitors, especially those who just spent all their savings on concert tickets.
Mayagüez is the unofficial capital of Puerto Rico's west coast. Discover Puerto Rico Mayagüez 'Mañana en Aljibe y me quedo por el Maya' - 'Dos Mil 16,' Un Verano Sin Ti
Considered the western 'capital' of Puerto Rico, the city of Mayagüez is a colonial marvel brimming with charm, beautiful beaches, shopping and plenty to keep visitors busy, whether they're here at the recommendation of Bad Bunny or otherwise.
Mayagüez boasts is own beautiful city center, but most visitors head straight for its beaches upon arrival. North is Rincón and Crash Boat Beach, both known for their surfing, and Rincón even earning a shoutout from Martínez Ocasio in his song 'El Apagón.' To the south, Boquerón with its blissful beaches, yet another one of the island's beautiful stretches of sand to earn a mention in the singer's 'Me Fui de Vacaciones.'
Great snorkeling and diving can be found around the island, but Mayagüez is known as the start for the excursion to Isla Desecheo, an uninhabited island off the coast with beautiful marine life and coral formations. It is known for having some of the best underwater visibility in Puerto Rico.
Bad Bunny's most streamed song, Dákiti may be named after a bay on the island of Culebra. Discover Puerto Rico Dákiti 'Dákiti,' El Último Tour Del Mundo
With well over two billion listens on Spotify, 'Dákiti' is Bad Bunny's most streamed song. Despite the song's unrivaled popularity, the inspiration behind the Dákiti title remains a bit of a mystery to fans, who have been quick to identify a few key spots in Puerto Rico with a similar name.
Some say the song is named after a small stretch of beach in Old San Juan, or even a tiny bar in the same neighborhood with the same name.However, others think it refers to Bahía Dákiti, a crystal-clear bay on the island of Culebra off of mainland Puerto Rico.
Dákiti Bay sits at the mouth of the entrance to this tiny, white-sand island, a popular getaway destination for locals and savvy visitors alike who know that the island is home to gems like Playa Flamenco, considered one of the best beaches in the entire Caribbean.
Whether you head all the way to Culebra to visit the famed Dákiti Bay in person or don't get any further than Old San Juan, it's part of a Bad Bunny-themed pilgrimage you won't want to miss this summer.

I always thought cruises were fun for adults. Taking my kids on one made me change my mind.
My husband and I took our first cruise 16 years ago for our honeymoon. We went on more cruises after becoming parents, but had never brought our kids with us. Taking my 10 and 13-year-olds on a cruise made me realize it's the perfect family vacation. Sixteen years ago, for our honeymoon, my husband and I went on our first cruise through the southern Caribbean. From elegant meals and relaxation by the pool to visiting multiple destinations without having to pack and re-settle repeatedly, we were sold from that first sailing. After becoming parents, we embarked on three more cruises to Alaska, Bermuda, and the Bahamas over the next decade. Each time, escaping without the kids, we found the respite we needed to return to parenting and the monotony of everyday life. We took a cruising hiatus But then COVID hit, and the idea of cruising fell to the back burner. As someone who is immunosuppressed, our getaways morphed into mountain adventures with the security of social distancing. But a piece of me yearned for the gentle rocking of the sea, for the socialization of meeting others who love traveling via the ocean, for the attentive staff that simply want you to have the best getaway of your life. Cruising called to me from afar. This past January, when my husband secured our boys' spring break week off from work, I turned to Google to discover what last-minute bookings were still available. I compared all-inclusive resorts to cruises that stopped at various ports, and by far, cruising was more affordable for our family of four. Pictures of Coco Cay, the Royal Caribbean island just north of Nassau, were displayed across my screen. Matching our dates perfectly, a cruise to the Bahamas was leaving from Bayonne, New Jersey — within an hour and a half's drive from our home. It felt meant to be — so we booked, and our love of cruising reignited. Cruising is more than a parent-only getaway With our boys — ages 10 and 13 — on board with us for the first time, I realized cruising is not only ideal for a parent-only getaway. It also happens to be the perfect vacation for families with tweens/teens because it offers more for less. The endless activities kept my boys busy for the entirety of our trip. Visiting a tropical beach like Coco Cay was blissful, and my boys experienced the white sand and clear water that our Jersey shore getaways lack. On board, when they weren't swimming or lounging in the hot tub, they were playing soccer or basketball in a state-of-the-art sports arena or partaking in one of the unique adventures our ship had to offer — like iFLY, FlowRider (surf simulator), and Bumper Cars. Live music and entertainment energize the evenings, and activities like rock climbing and cooking, and exercise classes are around every corner. My sushi-loving teen and I took a sushi-making class, and it did not disappoint. The ongoing schedule of activities is organized in the cruise line app, so you'll never miss a thing. Aboard the ship, it was as if my boys had traveled back to the 1990s. Our world has become unsafe for children to wander without adult supervision, but on cruises, teens can explore independently in a safe, family-friendly environment — possibly the best aspect of cruising with older kids! The ship's boundaries become a haven for teens in search of independence, and even tweens can roam safely in smaller areas like the pool deck. Cruising also solves the travel dilemmas that families typically face. While you're dining in elegance, the ship is sailing toward a new port. How else can you expose your children to multiple destinations and cultures in one trip without packing and repacking, wasting time in the car or on a plane, and without spending the exorbitant cost for airline tickets? You can't. Forget the backseat arguments and boredom that comes with road travel because the fun doesn't stop while you're sailing. They made friends on the boat From poolside friendships to designated teen hangout spaces, kids are also bound to meet others around the same age — and unlike meeting a friend at a resort on land, these new buddies are there for the entirety of your vacation. On the first day, my 10-year-old made a new friend and now they stay in touch via iMessenger. My husband and I used to cruise for a break from parenting. But now that my kids are older, I'm convinced cruising is the perfect family getaway, and we don't intend to sail without our boys again.

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki and wife Caitlin share intimate wedding photos: 'Just the two of us, forever'
The couple tied the knot earlier in June during a ceremony in Turks and Caicos. The wife of Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki is reflecting on one of the most romantic days of her life. On Sunday, the 25-year-old shared several photos and videos from her intimate beachside wedding in Turks and Caicos last month. "Just the two of us, forever," she captioned an initial post. She paired her words with a dove emoji and her wedding date, which was on Monday, June 9, 2025. That post first featured a photo of herself and Nick, 25, holding hands and walking away from the camera, as she looked back over her shoulder with her veil draping down to the ground. The other pictures in the carousel showed off parts of the beach, one-on-one moments with her NHLer husband as well as his-and-hers vow booklets with their rings. Caitlin continued to shared a couple other posts from her stunning destination wedding, including a glam-shot video from a hair and makeup appointment for her cocktail bridal party. In the clip, hair artist Vanessa Wehbe showed off Caitlin's glamorous makeup look and immaculately-curled hair. A third post showed off the couple's "night before" in Turks and Caicos, where they spent the evening on a chartered catamaran. They took an intimate photoshoot on board, where they embraced in various poses and outfits on the boat. A couple shots featured Caitlin wearing a strapless white dress with her blonde locks tied in a ponytail, and Nick opting for a seafoam blue polo shirt and white pants. Another snapshot showed Caitlin wearing a white long-sleeve mini dress, with Nick changing into a white shirt and light khaki shorts. In all of the posts, fans raved over the beauty of the event and how stunning the couple looked during their beachside festivities. Others shared their congratulations to the newlyweds and expressed how they're still celebrating the duo. "Forever obsessed," wrote fellow Montreal Canadiens WAG Emma Fortin, who's married to Brendan Gallagher. "Gorgeous. Congratulations!" added Alexa Dobson, who recently married Montreal Canadiens defenceman Noah Dobson. "She hit us with so much in one day," joked Paola Anderson, who's married to Montreal Canadiens player Josh Anderson. "I'm so obsessed, no words at all," someone chimed in. "Actually never getting over these!!! Wow," someone else penned. Caitlin also took to her Instagram Stories to re-share numerous photos and videos — some of which had black-and-white filters — that wedding guests had posted on their accounts from the reception. That included clips from their first dance and other photos the couple had taken. Nick and Caitlin first connected through social media around 2016 or 2017. They had previously known of each other through mutual friends in London, Ont., and eventually Nick proposed in 2024 during a trip to the Dominican Republic. This past January, Caitlin took to social media to share footage from her bachelorette bash in Aspen, Colo. "The girlies take on Aspen part 1," she captioned a post on Jan. 5. The following month, she made an appearance on the "Never Offside" podcast hosted by Julie Petry, wife of Detroit Red Wings defenceman Jeff Petry, and Cat Toffoli, wife of San Jose Sharks alternate captain Tyler Toffoli. In an episode posted on Feb. 4, Caitlin opened up more about her relationship with Nick, her role as an NHL wife and her then-upcoming wedding "I've never dreamed of a wedding. I've dreamed of the person I'm going to marry, but I'm not a wedding person," she explained at the time. But thinking of having all of her loved ones in one room had pushed her to excitement over the big day: "To have everyone in one space together is my dream come true. ... I know it's going to be so much fun, so I'm really looking forward to that."
