Isla Iguana sits in full view of Andromeda Ocean Estates, and was a significant factor in choosing the site. “This took our location from special to extraordinary,” says Mr Rudasevski.
Day-trippers can visit Isla Iguana easily by hiring a local panga to make the 20-minute trip from the mainland, and spend the day snorkelling in warm, shallow waters thronging with colorful marine life, or languish on the islands two power-soft beaches, while watching storms of frigate birds circle endlessly overhead.The island is a major nesting site for the frigata magnificens, and home to several species of iguanas and lizards.

The waters off Los Santos are a fisherman’s bounty, offering plenty of big game fish – sailfish and marlin, for example – and many more tasty dinner catches, such as yellowfin tuna and red snapper.
