Maho Bay Camps is probably the most highly praised ecotourism destination in the world. The Camp has started in the year 1976 we built 18 tent-cottages on 16 foot square platforms in the Virgin Islands National Park using hand construction methods which left the natural environment virtually undisturbed. The platforms were connected by elevated walkways to avoid soil erosion, which endangers the beach and fragile coral. The Camp is celebrating over 33 years of an improved local environment as a result of this sensitive and sustainable development. We are encouraged by our growing popularity in a culture, which is becoming more aware of the importance of preserving nature's precious gifts. The roomy tent-cottages are nearly hidden by lush foliage providing privacy. The entire cottage has screened windows and open-air terraces take advantage of the cooling island trade winds so you can enjoy the clean, green and eco friendly environment. Each has a separate sleeping area with comfortable twin beds and an extra mattress behind the sleeping-couch in the living area. Every tent-cottage has its own private deck, electric outlets, lights and fans.
