Guana Island

Imagine the Caribbean before it went public… One of the few private islands in its part of the world, Guana remains the most unspoiled jewel of the British Virgin Islands. Our 850 acres, seven beaches, mountains, gardens, organic orchard, dozens of hiking trails, and even our flock of flamingos are the exclusive domain of a handful of guests for the duration of their stay. There is no public bar, marina, or any other commercial facility on the Island. Guana’s understated elegance and absolute privacy (only registered guests are permitted) have made it a hideaway retreat for a century’s worth of luminaries from the worlds of art, literature, politics, and industry.

Those seeking sun, solitude, and serious farm-to-table Caribbean cuisine will feel right at home at Guana Island. Spread out over 850 acres of pristine natural beauty, this all-inclusive hideaway has it all: whitewashed cottages and villas with private entrances and ocean views, a restaurant built into an eighteenth-century ruin serving Michelin-worthy local and international specialties, and seven secluded beaches to soak in those laid-back island vibes. Not to mention a fleet of watersports equipment at the ready, from stand-up paddle boards to snorkeling gear.
