Rose Island
1
Situated just 5km east of Paradise Island, you will find a stunning private cove with a powder sand beach on the north side of Rose Island.

Highborne Cay
2
Kayak alone through the sandy shallows of Highbourne Cay. It’s like paddling through a postcard of the Bahamas’ finest beaches. Or set off by bike or jetski from the island’s petite marina. The only animals sunbathing on Highbourne’s eight arcs of sand are sun-obsessed iguanas.
Those visitors with their own luxury yacht may wake up to fantastically exotic days. Here, locals live on lobster for lunch and harvest conch by hand. Highbourne Cay also makes for perfect arena to learn to windsurf or sail. After all, the only thing you may bump into is virgin white sand.

Norman's Cay
3
The waters off Norman’s Cay would make Jacques Cousteau weep. Schools of mahi-mahi and angelfish and the odd turtle cavort in the blue yonder. By sail or steam, over 10km of virgin white sand lies within a 20-minute reach. Crew can organise a pirate-themed barbeque for an entire complement of guests on a deserted beach.
But in the 1980s, Norman’s Cay was still a place of piracy and vice. Colombian smugger Carlos Lehder turned the island into a private fortress and built the airstrip that remains in use today. Lehder’s life in the Bahamian sun met a sticky end and his private DC-3 airplane now makes a great snorkelling spot just offshore.

Shroud Cay
4
One of the northernmost islands in the Exuma land and sea park, and the first park of it's kind to equally protect both above and below the water line. Shroud Cay is separated by many miles of creeks, all navigable by small tender and kayak. Spend an afternoon making the most of the yachts water toys or take a sand art master class on the beach and create sculptures made out of sand, drift wood and shells.

Hawksbill Cay
5
Hawksbill Cay lies between Shroud Cay and Cistern Cay or “between heaven and paradise” according to one recent guest. Sunshine, snorkelling and Singapore Slings are what this uninhabited island does best. Better still, Hawksbill sits at the centre of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. Divers can swim with rays, grouper and other giants of the deep.
Island landmarks speak of Hawksbill’s pirate past. Hunt for treasure at Smugglers Cove, kayak through Pirates Cut, or wander through the abandoned village on Ruins Bay. Saunter to the island’s lofty peak for a sublime 360° view.

Twin Cay
6
Twin Cay is the perfect place to get up close and personal with sharks. Nurse sharks (we aren’t talking great whites) are bottom-dwelling sharks that swim in the warm shallow waters of the West Atlantic. Quite accustomed to human interaction you can swim, snorkel and capture incredible photos of these usually rather dangerous creatures. Visit Twin Cays private island to experience the epitome of paradise all to yourself.

Twin Cays

So nice you need to stay twice, stay anchored off Twin Cays for a second day. Visit Thunderball Grotto, known world-wide as an outstanding snorkeling attraction. On-site filming of the James Bond movies “Thunderball” and “Never Say Never Again,” as well as the movie “Splash,” showed off the exquisite beauty of this snorkel spot and made it famous.
