The countdown to the grand opening of EMBRACE Resort on Staniel Cay in The Bahamas has officially begun!
Located on a remote 2-square-mile cay in the Exuma archipelago, EMBRACE Resort is just a boat ride away from the protected Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park, the private island hideaways of Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Tim McGraw and Johnny Depp and the world famous swimming pigs of Major Cay.
Once completed, EMBRACE will feature the only spa, fitness center and meeting space on the island and in the Exuma Cays, along with a luxurious poolside cabana and an upscale restaurant featuring new twists on classic island delicacies. The EMBRACE guest experience will be seamlessly integrated with warm, welcoming Bahamian culture and heritage, while remaining committed to protecting the surrounding natural environment.
EMBRACE is an acronym for the Bahamian island names of the seven villas – Exuma, Mayaguana, Bimini, Ragged Island, Andros, Cat Island and Eleuthera.
The villas, featuring 1-3 bedrooms, are already underway, being constructed and designed from the ground up with thoughtful touches evoking each island namesake. From the charming land crabs in Andros to the James Bond film location Thunderball Grotto just across the water in Staniel Cay, each villa will feature a colorful personality and a tropical island ambiance all its own.
“We’re hard at work building, painting and designing the ultimate Staniel Cay escape,” said Nicole Ferguson, owner. “Influenced by Bahamian culture, rooted in sustainability and driven by a desire to create memorable experiences, we look forward to embracing our first guests late next year.” Nicole also owns 3N’s Vacation Services which was established in 2005. 3N’s mission is to book guests a memorable vacation. The company assists Staniel Cay guests with everything from accommodations and boat rentals to weddings and yacht provisioning.
Located on tiny Staniel Cay (Population: 80) in the Exuma, Bahamas chain, EMBRACE Resort is approximately 75 miles south of Nassau and 250 miles of southeast of Florida. Scheduled to open in late 2013, EMBRACE will feature seven villas, a spa, fitness center, meeting space, restaurant and poolside cabana.
