The bluest water you’ve ever seen and butlers catering to your every wish set the stage for romance in the blissful seclusion of the Exumas
Once you arrive at Georgetown International Aiport, Sandals takes it from there. The included shuttle whisks you to the beachfront resort in 10 minutes where glasses of bubbly await. Whether you choose standard or butler level rooms, vacation for a wedding, honeymoon or romance, there are luxurious accommodations for you. Choose from a beachfront villa or elegantly-decorated rooms with ocean, pool and garden views. Balconies, patios and soaking tubs are just the beginning of the amenities on offer.
Eleven decadent restaurants—all with dress codes—have options for dining on the beach or indoors. The resort’s three fresh-water swimming pools are a hot spot to meet other travelers—one of the three is the largest zero-entry pool in the Caribbean. When you’re not lounging pool or beachside with a cocktail in hand, choose from unlimited beach and water sports, scuba diving and golf on the 18-hole Greg Norman-designed course. Or, stroll to state of the art Red Lane® Spa for a Jasmine Candle Massage, pedicure or aromatherapy treatment.
If you’ve heard anything about the Exumas, it likely includes the famous swimming pigs on Big Major Cay. Fortunately, you can book excursions right through Sandals Emerald Bay; whether your aim is swimming with pigs, fishing or ATV rides, you get the most of the Exumas without the hassle of planning. Local tour companies offer their own glimpses of the islands. Book a tour through Robert’s Island Adventures for swimming with pigs and nurse sharks, snorkeling Thunderball Grotto and a delicious BBQ lunch. Or, if independent sightseeing is more your speed, rent a boat through Minns Water Sports and make the Exumas your personal exploration grounds. Whether you opt for an excursion or not, just swimming in topaz water and taking in fiery Bahamian sunsets make your journey more than worthwhile.
