The top private island resort in the Exumas — 6 waterfront villas on 50 acres, each with a personal powerboat and unlimited fuel to explore the 365-island Exuma chain, fully stocked pantries, personal butlers, and Hill House restaurant included. Forbes and T+L both name it the Best Private Island Resort in the Bahamas.
Why We Chose It
Fowl Cay Resort is the quintessential Exumas private island experience — 50 acres of pristine powdery sand in the Exuma chain, with just six waterfront villas accommodating two to six guests each. Every villa comes with a personal powerboat with unlimited fuel — guests use them to visit Thunderball Grotto, feed the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, encounter iguanas at Bitter Guana Cay, and explore the 365-island chain at will. Pantries are fully stocked with food and premium beverages including cocktails; personal butlers cater to every request; Hill House restaurant serves locally sourced seafood (included). Professional fishing gear available; the chef will cook your catch. All-inclusive rates start at $17,700 for two for one week. Named Best Private Island Resort in the Bahamas by both Forbes Vetted and Travel + Leisure.
