Grand Isle Resort & Residences

The jewel of Grand Isle Resort, 23° North re-energizes life on Emerald Bay Beach. This 30,000-square-foot beach club features a special events venue, oceanfront infinity pool, coral-stone patio, and unrivaled views. 23° North provides numerous amenities including beach access, a heated pool overlooking the beach, private cabanas, and daybeds.

23° North Bar opens for pool service from 12 noon through the evening hours.

Great Exuma’s beaches are breathtakingly beautiful, so much so that Sports Illustrated recently chose it as the location for one of its many photo shoots. Also just a short walk from Grand Isle Resort, the family-friendly Coco Plum Beach is a low-tide favorite for shelling, sunbathing, and splashing in the surf.

The Hummingbird Hut team members will take your Bahamas family resort experience to the next level, as they host complimentary Grand Isle experiences for children and adults alike. These excursions are only available during specific times of the year, so simply ask the team for details.

Children ages 5 through 12 are invited to play the days away, making new friends and amazing memories along the way. They’ll head to the beach and pool for treasure hunts, play horseshoes, and explore the crystal blue ocean waters.

And when it comes to watersports, the resort offers equipment including kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and snorkel gear that guests may enjoy using while splashing around under the Caribbean sun.

Located adjacent to Grand Isle Resort & Spa is Emerald Reef Golf Course, a stunning 18-hole championship course designed by legendary PGA pro, Greg Norman. Renowned as the longest course in the Caribbean, this challenging par-72 course plays to 7,001 yards – with the front 9 holes winding through seaside dunes and mangroves, while the back 9 hug the spectacular Emerald Bay peninsula.

Enjoy more than just the picture-postcard views of the Emerald Reef Golf Club and Course … get out and play! The resort offers special greens fees for golf-enthusiast guests who may like to take on the challenge.

Indulge your body and renew your sense of well-being with SeaStar Spa services – whether in the comfort of your villa, on the beach, or poolside. Couples can relax and unwind together with side-by-side massages, treatments and champagne, while youngsters 12 and under are treated to a scoop of ice cream with their Mini Mani and Mini Pedi.

Prepare to be astounded at the sheer beauty and variety of wildlife here in the Exumas. Enjoy exclusively Exuma encounters, where you can catch a glimpse of a variety of creatures, many endangered and protected, including wild pigs, sea turtles, sharks, and stingrays! And for a lucky few, as there are just a handful of opportunities to participate, you can choose to help protect the region’s waters as a member of the “Beneath the Waves” shark tagging expedition!

No visit is complete until you’ve taken a swim with Exuma’s world-famous swimming pigs. An experience you will never forget, the island’s friendly swimming swine will even follow you out to your boat. Don’t be alarmed if they swim too close … they’re just looking for love (and maybe a bite of your lunch)!
