Our Journey

Baganara Island Resort has a rich and dynamic history that has seen its transformation from a private estate into one of Guyana’s leading eco-resorts.

The island, originally known as Thomas Island, was linked to a British lieutenant, Thomas Staunton St. Claire before being acquired by the Correia family in 1989. The family restored its original name, Baganara, which is derived from an indigenous word meaning chaos. By the mid-1990s, the Correia family had begun significant developments on the island, turning the once wild, swampy jungle into a serene paradise.

The 187-acre island boasts a rainforest resort that seamlessly blends upscale accommodations and full-service amenities with the beauty of the mighty Essequibo.
