Sandals Emerald Bay –

Temporarily Closed-Future Beaches Emerald Bay

Sandals Emerald Bay has closed temporarily for a refreshing and re-imagining. This amazing all-inclusive resort in Exuma, Bahamas will reopen as Beaches Emerald Bay where families, couples and groups can all enjoy this fabulous island destination. We are so excited to have a new Beaches Resort to offer for destination weddings and family vacations! We’ll update this post when we are closer to the grand opening.


Sandals Emerald Bay is located on the Bahamian Out Island of Exuma.  This adults-only all-inclusive resort is situated on a mile-long stretch of white powder sand beach overlooking the turquoise blue waters that the Exumas are so famous for.    

Sandals Emerald Bay sits on 500 acres and all of the 249 rooms at this resort are either Club or Butler level service.  Many are in close proximity to the beach or have water views!  The resort is also the only Sandals resort that has a marina onsite.  In fact the marina here is perfect for yachts with 133 deep water slips!   

The resort is also home to the championship Greg Norman Emerald Bay golf course.  This 18 hole course offers 6 signature holes and stunning vistas to enjoy while you play.  AND your all inclusive stay at Emerald Bay even includes complimentary green fees.  

Looking to host meetings and conventions? Or are you planning a destination wedding?  There is over 9,000 square feet of flexible indoor meeting and event space and numerous outdoor venues for groups of all sizes.
