Think paradise, think Guana Island. This 850 acre island is privately owned and accommodates just 32 guests. The exclusivity has helped the tropical forests, mountains, valleys and beaches remain completely unspoilt. Enjoy seven pristine white sand beaches, miles of undisturbed natural beauty, comfortable accommodation and a personal service.
The island is a thriving ecosystem, home to threatened and endangered species like the Caribbean roseate flamingo, the stout rock iguana and the red footed tortoise. Taste fresh papaya, coconut and mango in the orchard and discover a diverse range of tropical fish and coral by snorkelling or diving one of Guana’s own reefs.

Some have air conditioning and all feature ceiling fans, complimentary WiFi Internet access, hair dryers, coffee machines, iron and ironing board. Guana has one Seaview Pool Cottage which has all of the above but with the luxury of its own plunge pool and stunning views over Guana Island’s beautiful white sand beach.
