4 Best Places to Shop in Puerto Rico

Stylish, upscale handbags for men and women can be purchased at Coach for a discounted price.

This complex in Canóvanas, about 25 minutes east of San Juan, has more than 50 factory outlet stores, including Adidas, Nautica, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein. Those who aren't into shopping can head to the entertainment center, where offerings include go-kart racing, virtual reality experiences, bowling, and an arcade.

About 20 minutes from Dorado via Highway 22 at Exit 55 in the town of Barceloneta is Puerto Rico's first factory-outlet mall. Puerto Rico Premium Outlets is a pastel village of more than 40 stores selling discounted merchandise from such familiar names as Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, The Gap, Nautica, Perry Ellis, Puma Outlet, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Ralph Lauren's shop in front of the piers has some of the best deals around. Stop here toward the end of your trip, as there are plenty of items (e.g., peacoats and scarves) that you won't be wearing until you get home.
