What is Alectoria Island?
Without any previous knowledge of the island, our first impression was that it is more like a resort than an actual island. Large tour groups, lots of boats and tourists on all buildings made us think this place should have been nicknamed “Islandya” instead of “The Island”.
We were wondering how these rich people kept their livelihood in such an isolated location when we saw white sand beaches beside Alectoria Resort. After researching further into the island, we know that it is an inhabited island since 1995 and belongs to a private company called “The Alectoria Group”. However, even though the place looks isolated from afar (we used Google Maps), you can now access the whole thing by chartered yachts just for one night.
Race boats continue to rule this tropical paradise in reality as well. The guests’ activities at Alectoria include organizing races between their own raceboats.
How Did It Become An Exclusive Island Resort?
Because of the vegetation (plantations of coconut plantations), Alectoria Island is almost landlocked. This makes it a perfect spot for rich cats and their exotic pets like parrots, macaws, orange-headed Amazon parrots and several species of monkeys including the squirrel monkey!
How did these animals get here? Through hard work by local people. The locals used to move around in small boats with bananas on long fishing lines as there was no transport at that time. Monkeys used to come down from the mountains as locals would bait them with food (bananas) and drop them in cages on their boats while they took trips around the island. Did you know that Alectoria Island stretches for 2,089 square kilometers?
