ANDROS ISLAND

Tiamo Resorts on South Andros Island, ‘Ti amo’ means ‘I love you’ in Italian, and there is no better place to deepen your relationship than among the gentle breezes and radiant Caribbean sunsets that await you outside your own private beach bungalow. Here, the stress and worries of everyday life seem a lifetime away, and our simple yet elegant setting provides the perfect opportunity for the two of you to celebrate your love for one another and enjoy the perfect romantic Bahamas vacation. Our superb staff, stunning surroundings, and small size all ensure that nothing will break the magic spell that Tiamo casts on lovers.

The main lodge is the heart of our Caribbean beach resort here at Tiamo, where you gather to eat, drink, and socialize with other guests. We have an excellent choice of great wines and top-shelf liquors from a well-stocked bar. The lodge also houses our diverse Tiamo library, with everything from great works of literature to field guides and maps of the area. Guests are encouraged to browse through these books in the lodge, or take them to their beach bungalows.

Tiamo provides its guests with a rich and elegant dining experience unparalleled in the region. Executive chef Anna Salmon is one of the most sought-after culinary artists in the Bahamas. In her take on Bahamian cuisine, Chef Anna has created a sophisticated variation on classic local themes. Service is of the highest quality: attentive, unobtrusive, and well-versed in the subtleties of fine dining. To eat and drink this well, in a place so remote and serene, is truly a unique opportunity.

Emerald Palms: A Bahamian Hidden Gem.  The authentic island vacation isn’t lost. It flourishes at Emerald Palms on South Andros Island, a perfectly preserved Bahamian paradise. Our island is just a short, scenic flight from US shores. Yet a trip to Emerald Palms takes you worlds away from the usual Caribbean tourist destinations.

Emerald Palms is a group-friendly boutique resort, just 33 units in all. Quaint and colorful villas, palm trees, gardens and hammocks dot our Caribbean beach. We offer the seaside comforts you expect: wonderful food, well-appointed accommodations and of course, the requisite pool.  Plus something more than you’d hope for: Emerald Palms exudes an offbeat elegance and authentic island vibe that just might redefine what you consider essential in life.

Something about this place feels completely unchanged by time, and in time changes you. It could happen on a rose-tinted morning, as you stroll several miles down our white sand beach without meeting another soul. While you sip fresh coconut water from the shell and chat with smiling local proprietors at a roadside stand. Or, as you and your companions find and photograph some of the 50 species of orchids that grow here seasonally.
