Leatherback Turtle on Zoni Beach in Culebra

Some of our guests had the good fortune to be on Zoni Beach the other afternoon when a female leatherback turtle came in to lay her eggs.

Here are some of their pictures -

Culebra Named One of the Ten Best Islands to Live on by Islands Magazine

Culebra, home of the world famous Flamenco Beach, has just been named one of the “Ten Best Islands to Live On” by Islands Magazine.

From the article: “If you think you have to leave your favorite island to return to your “real life,” let us say with the utmost respect … you’re utterly wrong. This could be your real life — a barrier reef outside your front door, a wallaby in your backyard, a vacation smile always on your face. Backing us up are 10 stories from expatriates that you’re about to read as well as our own research into the best islands for inviting culture, enviable weather and available real estate. For any age, any career, any family, there is a perfect island to live on.”
