Guana Island: The Virgin Island That Still Is

Posted by Hoang Le • April 12th, 2009 • Printer-friendly

Guana Island

One of the few remaining privately-owned islands in its part of the world, Guana is 850 acres of undisturbed natural beauty. Seven pristine, white powder-sand beaches and miles of tropical forest, mountains, hills and valleys. In this setting, where the sparkling Caribbean meets the vast Atlantic, you’ll find excellent food, accommodations and service in the tradition of low-key luxury perfected through seven decades of family stewardship. Best of all, with acres of privacy per guest (usually around 30 at a time), and no marina or public facilities of any kind, you’ll barely have to share it with anyone.

Rent The Island
You and up to 35 others can have the Island all to yourselves. Bring your family. Bring the kids. Bring your friends. Have a business retreat or a family reunion. Any reason is a good one to bring people you enjoy to the sun, sand, sea, and seclusion of Guana Island. Imagine your own private Caribbean island – 850 acres with soft white sand beaches, tropical foliage, mountain trails, tennis courts, flamingoes – and a population you’ve chosen yourself! There are leisure activities for everyone – from snorkeling to sailing, from tennis to hiking – just for you and your guests. And no facilities for anyone else. No moorings, no public restaurant or beach bar. The entire Island will be yours – every magnificent acre – for as long as you like.

Accommodations

Guana Island

After a day of being dazzled by lush tropical beauty and crystalline waters, return to the spectacular view from your own private terrace. Sprinkled along a scenic ridge and cooled by gentle trade winds, the cottages enjoy commanding views of the Caribbean and the Atlantic. Our interiors are comfortably, but not overwhelmingly furnished in a style that comes out of the history of the Island, once a sugarcane plantation owned by American Quakers. But Quakers who knew how to live! They favored stone architecture and managed very nicely without media rooms and discos. that mood still prevails.
