Guana Island - Guana Island, BVI

Guana Island is a private island on the north side of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Under the direction of owners Henry and Gloria Jarecki, it has become an important nature preserve and wildlife sanctuary with one of the richest collections of tropical plant and animal species in the Caribbean.

This magical island has three peaks rising 325', 442', and 806' above sea level and is named for an iguana shaped rock formation on the western coast.

Guests will enjoy miles of hiking trails, seven beaches, outstanding snorkeling, tennis courts, and most importantly, peaceful solitude. White-washed stone cottages for thirty-two guests are set high on a ridge with spectacular views of nearby islands. Each spacious room has a king or twin beds, a private patio or porch, ceiling fans, and an ensuite bathroom with a large freeform shower large enough for two. Candlelight dinners on verandahs or the terrace feature excellent "Caribbean Continental Cuisine". North Beach Cottage, is a secluded one-bedroom beach house with its own living room, kitchen, sundecks,fresh water pool as well as a sea pool, offers the
ultimate in privacy.

Visitors to Guana are mainly from the U.S. and Europe. Most guests are couples searching for a quiet, romantic retreat - far away from businesses and "civilization". The island is also a special haven for honeymooners of all ages, family reunions, and small conferences.
