Unlike traditional island resorts, this luxurious villa located on Dunbar Rock is located in the middle the Mesoamerican barrier reef and it consumers the entirety of the single-rock island.
The secluded villa is pure white and features reach a four-storey height. The single-rock island is surrounded by crystal clear water that reveals the aquatic life below the water's surface. The rock resides in a cluster of Guanaja Bay Islands and can only be reached by boat or a helicopter.
The interior of this luxury retreat features an oceanfront infinity pool, a bar, a heliport, an enormous dining room and a small private beach. Unlike other island resorts, this villa is a single structure located in the ocean surrounded by water instead of expansive beaches or jungles.
