Enjoy drifting off to sleep with the soothing sounds of gentle lapping waves on the beach. Then waking up in the morning & with only seconds away from your Studio, you could be enjoying the first swim of the day in the incredibly blue & calm sea of Hoopers Bay - undisturbed by any other people & only a Green Turtle or two to notice you. Later, take out one of our kayaks to further explore the bay or spend some time snorkelling. Too much activity? Then just relax & unwind on one of our beach loungers or sea-floats until time comes for a cool drink. Sheer bliss in the Bahamas!! We have been pleased to have won both the Travelers Choice, and Certificate of Excellence awards for the third consecutive year from the worlds largest trip advisory organisation and based on our guests reviews.

Just a few steps though our palm tree filled garden is the beautiful Hoopers Bay beach - regarded as the BEST TO STAY ON IN EXUMA and the only beach with resident GREEN TURTLES to watch or swim with !! The 1/2 mile ( 1km ) long, soft white sandy beach slopes gently into the amazing blue, calm and safe sea for swimming, snorkeling, watching the Green Turtles or relaxing on our loungers and chairs. For the more energetic, we have FREE Kayaks for our guests to enjoy exploring more of the protected bay.
