Royal Plantation at Fowl Cay, Great Exuma, Bahamas

In the very midst of a sea so electric that you’ll swear it is made of incandescent-blue liquid light, sits Royal Plantation at Fowl Cay, a resort unlike any other on the planet. A private 50-acre island in the Bahamian chain of the Exumas, Fowl Cay lies only 200 miles from Miami and features six gorgeous, fully stocked villas, innumerable secluded coves and white-sand beaches, a personal boat and guide to introduce you to the wonders of the ocean and a hilltop restaurant serving some of the most spectacular cuisine for hundreds of miles around.

Whether you lay claim to one of the six splendidly outfitted houses as your sun-swept home-away-from-home or you take over the entire island for yourself, you’ll definitely feel as if every inch of this indescribably beautiful, undiscovered landscape belongs completely and inexorably to you.

Stroll along deserted paths that wind charmingly through the isle’s luscious vegetation and fragrantly blossoming tropical flowers. Swing like a carefree castaway in a hammock strung between two towering coconut trees planted in the silky sand of a pristine beach. Marvel at waters that display every conceivable shade of blue—from aquamarine, turquoise and indigo to a shockingly clear diamantine translucence—inviting you to wade in, dive deeply and immerse yourself completely in its deliciously warm embrace.

Everywhere you turn, around each corner and atop each rise, a new revelation awaits, taking your breath away and leaving you awash in a sense of unfathomable tranquility.

About The Exumas and Fowl Cay:

Originally home to buccaneers and pirates, who plied their larcenous trade from hiding places in amongst the coves and inlets of these rocky isles, the 365 islands of the Exumas, spread across 140 miles of luminescent turquoise sea, have always held a fascination for lovers of the sea and for anyone who enjoys a good story and a great laugh. While Blackbeard and Henry Morgan may no longer sail along these shores, the cays and spits of land that dot the incredibly clear, teal waters still offer a whole cornucopia of quirky sights, seafaring adventures and exotic thrills.

Gaze in awe at the remarkable sight of a deep and narrow channel, just offshore, flowing so powerfully that it creates its very own version of river rapids in the midst of the sea. Navigate your golf cart along secluded pathways, cut through luxuriant tropical foliage. Let Fowl Cay’s incredibly luminescent waters, untouched powdery sands and stunning natural beauty unlock the age-old allure of the Exumas.
