Isla Saona is not only renowned for its natural beauty but also for its rich and fascinating history. Originally named Adamanay by the Taínos, the island became known as Bella Savonesa after the arrival of Christopher Columbus, who renamed it in honor of Michele da Cuneo, a native of the Italian city of Savona. The island holds deep historical significance, with landmarks like the Cotubanamá cave, where the Taino chief Cotubanamá was tragically executed. Today, the cave serves as a prominent tourist attraction, adding to the island's allure as both a natural paradise and a place of historical intrigue.

In addition to its historical importance, Isla Saona is a cinematic treasure, serving as a backdrop for iconic movie scenes. Some of the famed Pirates of the Caribbean scenes were filmed here, showcasing the island's dramatic landscapes and pristine beaches. However, the movie that truly immortalized Saona in the minds of audiences around the world is Blue Lagoon. Filmed in the island's stunning surroundings, this classic film introduced millions to Saona’s beauty, ensuring that the island remains a must-visit destination for travelers seeking both adventure and a touch of Hollywood magic.
