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?
