Manicou River Resort sits on 9.5 acres of elevated land (rising to circa 350ft) enjoying privacy, panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, coconut palmed river frontage and is within walking distance to the sandy beaches of Douglas and Prince Rupert Bays.

We are located inside The Everton Hall Estate. Formerly a banana plantation and subsequently planted with lime trees for Rose's Lime Cordial, the Estate was last planted with Bay Trees for production of Bay Oil. Though commercial use ceased some years ago, there are many Bay trees on the land and indeed other tropical fruit trees and plants. Along the river boundary there are plentiful mango tress and a huge Vanilla Orchid Vine. We are committed to organically growing fruits, vegetables and herbs. We are currently planting an organic kitchen garden and fruit orchard.

Approximately 15% of the land will be used for building the resort. This will leave a substantial amount of land for nature trails. The lodges are connected to the other amenities by hand cut footpaths and stairs of natural materials. All areas have low impact solar lighting. We are taking special care to preserve the forest in its original form and maintain the current trees and wild life.

The only products allowed inside the resort are 100% natural & biodegradable.Please note that shower and basin water is used for plant irrigation. We can supply you with all you will need during your stay from products produced here on Natures Isle.
