If you are looking for a luxurious beach getaway that perhaps not everyone has been to, then the private island of Exuma in the Bahamas is the perfect choice. A short 40 minute flight from Miami will bring you to the pristine paradise of this adults only resort.

Powder white sand beaches and crystal clear blue waters await you. From the resort’s mile long beaches, guests have a panoramic view of the beautiful Emerald Bay. The ambiance is similar to Anguilla without the high price tag.

A Greg Norman 18 hole golf course is one of the luxurious amenities in your all inclusive hotel stay. Where most golf courses charge upwards of $250 for a similar experience, you will have the option to play golf every day at Exuma.

The resort also includes a Red Lane Spa with 16 treatment rooms and seven restaurants on the property. At this particular resort, the lobster is free when in season. I dined on lobster for lunch and dinner! What other resorts have such great offers?

The privacy of the island creates a peaceful beach experience. Although the resort is very relaxing, there are a number of exciting attractions available. There is a boat ride to tour the beautiful view points that surround the island. During the tour, we visited an island inhabited by iguanas that were friendly and happy to be fed.

There is also a “swim with the pigs” excursion. Everyone is familiar with “swimming with dolphins”, but not many resorts offer swimming with pigs! They were very cute and the experience was certainly different!

This resort offers more Butler category rooms than any other Sandals resort. Many rooms are just steps from the sand and beach. It is really quite beautiful!

During my stay, I completed my Sandals Weddingmoon Specialist Certification, so I am well versed on having a destination wedding at Sandals and Beaches resorts.
