Ownership & Heritage
Naturalist Beach Resort was founded by Tobagonian entrepreneur Ancle George, who began developing the property in 1997.
Born and raised in Castara, George envisioned a hospitality business that would allow visitors to experience Tobago’s natural beauty while supporting the surrounding community.
Over the years, he developed Naturalist Beach Resort into a locally owned beachfront accommodation business, welcoming international visitors while maintaining strong connections to Castara village.
The resort’s official website identifies the property as 100% locally owned and operated.
More recently, Jodie George, a member of the founding family, has been associated with the property’s management and guest relations, reflecting the continuation of the George family’s hospitality legacy.
Naturalist Beach Resort represents an example of indigenous Tobagonian entrepreneurship and community-connected tourism along Tobago’s Caribbean coastline.
