Gastronomy will take center stage with the renowned Bvlgari Bar and Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, expertly curated by Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito. The restaurant promises to deliver exceptional dining experiences amid the idyllic surroundings.
Additionally, La Spiaggia, the resort’s signature beach club, beckons guests to unwind in style. The fully equipped marina will accommodate docking needs and provide a vibrant promenade filled with distinctive shops and gourmet dining options, ensuring that the experience goes beyond mere opulence to encompass vibrant local culture.
A Sustainable Vision for Luxury
Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari, expressed excitement about the project’s vision, saying, “The Exumas have been establishing themselves in recent years as the ultimate glamorous destinations in the Caribbean. We are thrilled to present such an extraordinary project, which will become not only the first Bvlgari Resort in the Caribbean but also a new point of reference for upscale travelers.”
The commitment to sustainability permeates this project, as Bvlgari aims to redefine luxury. Reflecting a dedication to ecological preservation, the resort will mesh seamlessly with the island’s breathtaking natural landscape. The aim is straightforward yet ambitious: to create a sustainable luxury destination that honors both the environment and the desire for high-end travel experiences.
Strategic Partnerships for Unmatched Quality

The Hon. I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism for the Bahamas, commented on the transformative potential of this investment. He regarded the project as a significant stride in establishing the Bahamas as a leader in high-end tourism, underscoring its potential to open new economic opportunities for locals.
A Design Inspired by Nature
