Arthur's Blog: Maho Bay Unfortunately and Definitely to Close on May 15

Announcing that the land on which it sits has now been definitely sold, Maho Bay Camps on the exquisite island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands has now advised its fans that it will now be definitely closing on May 15 of this year. We can expect a condo development, or a series of gated homes, to go up in its place, which is a tropical hillside enjoying one of the most enthralling views in all the Caribbean.
Maho Bay , for those unfamiliar with this unique resort, is a collection of tented bungalows spread across the hillside that I've just described. It is perhaps the most environmentally-sensitive resort in all the world, a place erected without disturbing the foliage on which it sits, with each canvas bungalow connected to an outdoor dining space and other bungalows by wooden walkways elevated from the land. Its rates are half what you'd normally pay in the Caribbean, and its mostly-vegetarian meals are unusually tasty. It is also patronized by a broad cross-section of interesting Americans of all ages and incomes. You can learn more at Maho.org.
And by going to its website, you will also learn about the substitute resort that is currently being expanded in another section of the island almost as desirable. The continuation of Maho Bay is called  Estate Concordia , and its lodgings are bungalows that make almost no use of fossil fuels for their illumination and power. Here, too, a unique blend of intellectually-curious, environmentally-sensitive, Americans are the clientele, and you are guaranteed a fine vacation.
As you can see, I'm an enthusiast for the kind of tropical holiday that the founder of Maho Bay -- Stanley Selengut -- has devoted his life to creating. I urge you to study the website and give serious thought to choosing either Maho Bay for your most imminent next vacation or Estate Concordia (now called Concordia Eco Resort) for one scheduled further out.
