Rosewood Debuting Private Island Resort Fusing Ultra-Luxury and Adventure in the Bahamas

Rosewood Exuma opens in 2028, bringing Rosewood’s elevated experiential travel and authenticity to the Exumas. The pristine archipelago of 365 islands in the Bahamas is the destination of the latest addition to Rosewood’s Caribbean portfolio. The private island resort offers next-generation luxury while honoring the character of the Exumas.

Rosewood Exuma

Within the Exumas, there’s a 124-acre private island called East Sampson Cay, the home to Rosewood Exuma and its 33 suites, all offering dramatic views of the island's pink and white sands and turquoise waters and several sitting directly on the beach.

Visitors will discover Rosewood's “A Sense of Place” philosophy at Rosewood Exuma, inspired by the destination. Six unique food and beverage outlets showcase local delicacies, including ingredients grown from the resort's organic garden.

Rosewood's signature Asaya concept will immerse guests in time-honored Bahamian wellness traditions. The 20,000-square-foot sanctuary will boast six treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy facility, an outdoor tranquil pool, and a fitness center. It will be complemented by an outdoor sports center featuring tennis, padel and pickleball courts, as well as watersports equipment. 

A highlight at Rosewood Exuma will be a fully serviced beach club with a grill restaurant, beach and pool bars, and a private dining room.

Two marinas with slips are planned to accommodate yachts up to 150 feet, encouraging those traveling around the nearby islands to enjoy Rosewood Exuma's beach club and various restaurants and bars. In addition to the beach club pool, the resort will offer two other pools exclusively for overnight guests, including one dedicated to families.

Young guests will also be invited to immerse themselves in the unique ethos of the Exumas at Rosewood Explorers, the brand's signature children's club concept where activities are designed to spark discovery, inspire imagination and foster social responsibility.

Commitment to Sustainable Travel

Reflecting a commitment to positive impact, Rosewood is prioritizing sustainable building practices at Rosewood Exuma. Just 25% of the 124-acre island will be developed, and initiatives such as solar-powered energy sources will be implemented with the aim of minimizing impact to the island.

Through visionary planning, the resort will be designed to blend into the natural island landscapes, not only to preserve the beauty of the Exumas but to ensure a legacy of responsible and conscious development for future generations to enjoy.

Part of the Rosewood Global Collection

When it launches, Rosewood Exuma will be part of a global collection of nearly three dozen one-of-a-kind luxury hotels, resorts and residences in 21 countries. Each Rosewood property embraces the brand's “A Sense of Place” philosophy to reflect the individual location's history, culture and sensibilities.

Rosewood Exuma will join some of the world's most legendary hotels and resorts, including The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel in New York, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas and Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel in Paris, as well as new classics such as Rosewood Hong Kong and Rosewood São Paulo.
