To the peach-coloured sand add a splash of Essequibo River copper brown, and then a dab of green for the shading trees, and you have a palette that is Baganara Island. A resort where you go to rest, relax and rejuvenate, and where the cooking is sensational and the staff friendly.
The river sparkles in the late-afternoon sun and the only decision you have to make is whether to wake up for an early morning swim, nature trail walk, or lounge lazily enjoying a leisurely ambience.
This is the place where you can leave the bustle of the city behind and enjoy a private getaway. The atmosphere and accommodation is great too, for deal closings, mergers or conferences. It also hosted celebrities Eddie Grant and Mick Jagger.
Pre-eminent among the three hundred and sixty-five islands in the mighty Essequibo, with its own 2,000ft airstrip, Baganara is a wonderful piece of paradise with one hundred and eighty- seven acres of lush green foliage and tropical flowers.
Five miles south of Bartica, it is the getaway to the un-spoilt rainforest of Guyana and the junction where the great Essequibo and Mazaruni rivers meet. (Taken from Guyana Times Sunday Magazine)
