Upgrading Perfection: Newly Enhanced Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma

by Karen Nowalsky of Take Wing Travel 609-618-9599

As if one-year-old Sandals Emerald Bay Exuma couldn’t get any better – what with the all-butler resort’s "Luxury Included" tagline, not to mention it was formerly a Four Seasons Resort – the Bahamas property aims to impress more than ever. Your honeymoon could be even sweeter when timed with the resort’s 1st Anniversary renovation project. Sandals has recently rolled out million dollar upgrades to its famous Greg Norman-designed golf course and enhancements to the gourmet dining options with completion expected late spring 2011.

The most dazzling addition is the launch of 66 new rooms, the first of which debuted April 15th in four new suite categories. Together when all new rooms are finished, the property will feature a total of 149 rooms in all by the end of May 2011. The new accommodations include butler service, courtesy of Sandals Resorts’ partnership with the Guild of Professional English Butlers, and are available for booking immediately. Expect direct beach access and spectacular views in the new Seaside Village suites. Paired with the company’s couples-only policy, these exquisite beachfront suites set the scene for a honeymoon’s the pure magic.

Now, Nassau this isn’t. Forget the image of partygoers and typical Spring Break scene. But if seclusion and a more sheltered experience is what you crave, the Out Islands of the Bahamas are tough to beat. Think underdevelopment meets impossibly blue waters and you have the perfect laid-back escape from it all, Sandals style, of course. What could be a better way to start your new life together after all the hectic wedding planning?

Sandals Emerald Bay

This grand estate really packs a lot in, putting the great in Great Exuma: Along with an 18-hole championship designer golf course, there’s also a 17-acre world-class marina with 150 slips for your yacht. The resort also features a 29,000-square-foot Red Lane Spa, featuring 17 treatment rooms. All while maintaining its one-mile stretch of stunning white-sand beach.

And if you think you are stuck with only one restaurant option, think again: Only Sandals offers five notable fine-dining restaurants and bars, bringing culinary influences from around the world to one exotic island vacation. Sample specialties from Italy, France, the United Kingdom and the Caribbean, all meals and unlimited premium brand beverages are included and no reservations required. Enjoy white-glove service and fresh island seafood directly on the sand, an authentic British pub, specialties from the Mediterranean including classic Tuscan dining, and a gourmet pizzeria.

One of the brand’s most popular eateries, Café de Paris, is also coming to the 500-acre Emerald Bay property this spring. So now this remote island resort will serve up pastries, crepes, espresso drinks and gourmet coffees with its sublime ocean views as well.
