Hix Island House Pool

Nestled into the hillside, and steps from your room, you’ll find one of the Caribbean’s most magnificent pools, where afternoon relaxation on its panoramic deck becomes an art in itself. Voted the best pool on Vieques, you will be hard pressed to find any place more relaxing than the pool at Hix Island House. At 50 feet in length and 5 feet deep, our pool is perfect for early morning laps and refreshing post-beach dips.

In the practice of sustainable living, our pool runs off of the sun. As strange as that may sound, we have installed solar panels that run the pool pump. From the earliest rays of sun in the morning, until the last ones in the afternoon, our pool is cleaning itself from the sun. Our pool also uses minimal chemicals, instead opting for ionization with copper and silver.

This process has been used for centuries as these two metals are known for their natural algaecide and antimicrobial properties. Instead of leaving the pool with dry skin from harsh chemicals, guests at the Hix Island House swim in a natural, spring-like setting, guilt-free.

CASA SOLARIS

Casa Solaris is the newest building on our property and earned Hix Island House the honor of being declared the first “Sustainable Tourism Facility” of Puerto Rico by the Puerto Rico Tourism Department.

This building is the first of its kind, off-grid guesthouse in the Caribbean, with 24 solar panels on the roof, 12 large batteries in the “engine room,” solar hot water heaters and LED lighting.

Guests sleep well knowing that their stay in Casa Solaris is perfectly “Green.”

Luxury defines itself at Hix Island House with well conceived, generous architectural space and framed views of nature and its tranquility.

Casa Solaris is spacious. The upper level lofts are 1010 square feet, the midlevel lofts are 1370 square feet, and the two-bedroom suites are each 1500 square feet. Casa Solaris can accommodate up to 16 people. Among the amenities are Frette linens, Neeva Gayle shirts, and Dedon furniture.

Since organizing “The Autonomous House Team” with his students in the late 1960s at Cambridge University, architect John Hix has been devoted to energy efficiency and conservation, solar architecture integrated with climate and the natural environment. Casa Solaris is the peak pursuit of an aspiration that has been nurtured over 50 years or architectural design.
