Derek’s Place

Little Corn Island


The island's most charming beach bungalows are found spread out over a lovely grassy promontory covered with coconut palms that feels far from the crowds. The cabañas are thatched, geometrically inspired and artfully fashioned from bamboo, wood, recycled bottles and other natural materials. There’s dedicated hammock space, snorkel gear for rent and a small, friendly dive shop onsite.

Tasty meals are served communal style in the small dining area and there's solar and wind power here, meaning you can charge your phone despite the studied rusticity.
