Kamalame Cay - Laid Back Luxury Redefined

This barefoot chic Caribbean retreat features 27 luxurious seaside rooms and suites tucked in bougainvillea-draped cottages, bungalows and peak-roofed Balinese beach houses.

​

Located just off the world’s third-largest Great Barrier Reef in the transparent waters of The Bahamas, our intimate, family-run, private island is home to just 20 individually appointed, bougainvillea-draped bungalows, cottages, beach houses, and villas. Scattered across 97 acres of flowering jungle, coconut palm groves, and deserted white sand beach, each of the cay’s oceanfront residences is utterly secluded and offers an unplugged experience that turns the focus to the beauty of the natural environment. One where days are filled with ocean swims, world-class diving, snorkeling, and fishing, rounds of tennis, bicycling the island’s white sand roads, kayaking lush mangrove tributaries, and lounging by the freshwater pool. An isolated island paradise outfitted with the only overwater spa in The Bahamas, an international wine and spirits list, the region’s finest cuisine, and an alfresco cinema, Kamalame Cay blends barefoot luxury and laidback charm with untouched tropical splendor and the ultimate in privacy.
