Margarita is located in the Caribbean Sea, north-east of Venezuela, and is part of the country's Nueva Esparta state, which also comprises the islands of Coche and Cubagua.
According to Nick Marr, chief executive of Homesgofast, a UK-based overseas property portal, the government is encouraging foreigners to visit and invest in Margarita.
