November 19th will mark the opening of the brand spanking new W Retreat and Spa on Vieques, the unspoiled island off the coast of Puerto Rico.

W Vieques is The first W Retreat & Spa in the Caribbean and is also home to renowned Chef Alain Ducasse’s first Caribbean outpost, miX on the beach.

At miX on the beach, Chef Ducasse and his executive chef will offer a sophisticated menu, exploring colorful Latino Caribbean flavors with an artful French twist.

Last month’s Robb Report has announced that timber magnate Tim Blixseth will accept $75 million for his 5 acre Caribbean island of Emerald Cay, or swap it for a Gulfstream Jet or a luxury New York apartment.

Blixseth bought the island half-finished about three years ago, and then completed the construction.

He originally planned on using the island as part of his Yellowstone Club World luxury residence club, but the club recently filed for bankruptcy.
