Derek's Place - Little Corn Island Located in a remote, tranquil corner of Little Corn Island, Derek’s Place offers an authentic, off-the-grid experience for those seeking simplicity and connection with nature. This is not a 5-star resort—if you're looking for luxury, this may not be your choice. However, if you’re after a laid-back, rustic, and unique getaway, you’ll find peace and authenticity here. The accommodations are basic yet comfortable, featuring eco-friendly amenities powered by wind turbines, solar panels, and a diesel generator. Life here is intertwined with the natural surroundings, so be prepared for the occasional challenges that come with living close to nature—rain, wind, insects, and more are all part of the experience. Derek’s Place operates without traditional Wi-Fi, but internet access is available through Claro’s SIM cards, which can be purchased onsite for a small additional fee. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-run, where we strive to make every guest feel welcome and comfortable. However, this experience requires a spirit of adventure and openness to embrace the slower, simpler pace of life on Little Corn Island. If you're ready to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature, Derek's Place will be the perfect spot for your stay.

What Anna and Derek built is a true paradise. Beautiful cabanas on the remote part of the island. I particularly liked the common area. It was raining all the time while I was on the island, and I spent most of my time there. Anna and Derek are...

The property is in a beautiful, secluded spot on the island. We took advantage of a private boat instead of the panga, so it pulled right up to their beach. Otherwise, it’s a little bit of a hike to the village proper, but that’s part of the charm...

Location, the simplicity of the accommodations and the cleanliness of the grounds, common areas and our cabana. The owners and staff were very responsive and helpful on the couple of occasions we required them.

It’s a bit of a hike to get there and it’s more Robinson Crusoe than Sandals but if you don’t mind roughing it a bit it’s a nice tropical getaway. Watching full moon rise over the ocean was magical. The island is very undeveloped which is great....
