From the Maho Bay brochure:

Maho Bay Camps the first of our four sister resorts, had its modest beginnings in the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John. We started with 18 tent-cottages, hidden among the trees and connected by elevated, wooden walk ways. Hand construction methods left nature as undisturbed as possible, avoiding soil erosion which endangers the beach and fragile coral. This sensitive land use stimulated an explosion of publicity which has encouraged our sustainable growth. Now, with 114 units, and three sister resorts, we are probably the most publicized eco-tourism destinations in the world.

The roomy tent-cottages, built on 16' square plat forms are nearly hidden by the lush foliage. Translucent fabric on wood frames provide shelter while screens and terraces take advantage of the cooling trade winds. Hillside views of the turquoise Caribbean waters are commonplace from many of the dwellings. Our white sand beach offers privacy and a wide variety of quiet water sports including kayaking, windsurfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.
