Sandals Emerald Bay Converts to Beaches Exuma—A Game-Changer for Family Travel

Big changes are coming to the Exumas! Sandals Emerald Bay, the adults-only luxury resort, is officially being transformed into Beaches Exuma. This exciting conversion brings the beloved family-friendly Beaches Resorts brand to one of the most beautiful islands in the Bahamas.
Why Beaches Exuma?
Sandals has always been about romance and couples-only escapes, but Beaches takes that same luxury and makes it family-focused. With travelers craving more elevated family vacation experiences, Exuma is the perfect setting for the brand’s expansion. Families will soon be able to experience crystal-clear waters, sugar-white sand, and world-class amenities—together.
What to Expect at Beaches Exuma
- A Brand New Splash Deck- Water fun for the entire family
- Family-Friendly Dining – Dozens of restaurants and casual spots serving both gourmet bites and kid-approved favorites.
- Activities for All Ages – From snorkeling and paddleboarding to golf, tennis, and the spa, there’s something for everyone.
- Tween & Teen Spaces – Lounges and hangouts designed just for them.
- Unmatched Location – That same incredible Exuma setting that made Emerald Bay a bucket-list destination.
Why This Matters
For years, Beaches has been the go-to for families in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos. Now, Beaches Exuma brings the brand to the Bahamas for the very first time. It’s a game-changer for families looking for a mix of Caribbean adventure, laid-back luxury, and world-class service
When will it open?
We do not have an exact opening date, but Beaches Exuma is expected to begin welcoming guests by the end of 2025!
