One way to fulfill your castaway fantasy is to camp on this tiny isle run by a single family. Only 30 guests at a time are allowed to camp under the palms here. Tents and cushions are provided, and meals are well prepared. Some new cabins stand right over the water. It's run by Blas Tejada of Restaurant Chef Blas.
