The Art of Opening a Coconut – Machete Style
The easiest and most satisfying way to open a fresh coconut is with a machete. It takes a little skill, but once you get the hang of it, there's nothing quite like slicing open a coconut straight from the tree. I recently shared this on Instagram, where I cracked open a coconut, poured in some rum, and enjoyed the ultimate island refreshment after a full day of working on the master suite.
Check it out here:

It’s one of those simple island pleasures—a perfect way to cool down after a day in the sun, refresh, and take in the natural beauty of our tropical retreat.

Once we officially open our doors to guests, I can’t wait to share this experience. Imagine harvesting a coconut straight from the tree, learning how to open it with a machete, and sipping on the freshest coconut water—enhanced with a pour of local Puerto Rican rum.
It’s more than just a drink; it’s a true island tradition, one that connects you to the land and the slow, simple joys of tropical living.
