Guana Island is privately owned and is situated in the British Virgin Islands quite near Tortola, in the Caribbean. Guana was originally run as a commune with friends but is now operated as a business accepting paying guests who come to regard it is home. It is unique in that it has Nature Reserve status, being home to a rare breed of Iguanas as well as other rare species. There are no shops, one made up path, home generated electricity, its own sewage and water plant, and is quite simple but comfortable. Guests return year on year and are on familiar terms with all the unchanging staff. The beach is magical, the hills great to trek.
