Off the coast of Andros sits an “idyllic escape for those whose idea of paradise is a tropical hideaway, where a sarong is all that’s required to be ‘dressed’ for dinner,” as cleverly stated on its website. 

 

With a 15-year existence, Kamalame Cay is the perfect place for an elegant wedding, romantic honeymoon or simply to get away from the hassles of “city” life so many of us are now accustomed to. If you don’t believe me, take a look at what James and Denise Smith had to say about their recent honeymoon trip.

 

BE: How did you find Kamalame Cay?

 

Denise: I always knew that we had hidden resorts in islands of Bahamas, other than the major ones like Atlantis. I decided to do an online search to see what else was out there. It took a little digging, but we found it.

 

BE: After all that digging, I’m sure you came across a few locations. What made you choose Kamalame Cay?

 

Denise: A few things…we got married at the beautiful Atlantis Resort. But I knew we didn’t want to honeymoon there as well. We wanted something quiet, but still luxurious. Kamalame Cay seemed to be offering that. After the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding, we wanted to relax, do absolutely nothing and have everyone cater to us.

 

BE: What was your first impression when you got there?

 

James: We had to take a ferry from Andros to the island. As soon as we got there, it was exactly what we wanted. We knew then that we had made the best decision.

 

BE: What were some of the things you liked most?

 

James: It was a small island; we had our own villa on a private section of the beach. We were assigned our own golf cart to get around the island. It was as if everything was personalized just for us. At dinner, if we wanted to have something off menu, the chef was willing to do that for us. We even had a personal butler that brought anything we needed to our room. Every morning we woke up to cookies, muffins, and orange juice; all kinds of treats. There were no keys to lock the doors. No TV or telephone in the room. It was a great hiatus from modern technology and distractions. We could just focus on one another and relaxing.

 

BE: Would you recommend staying there to anyone else?

 

Denise: Absolutely! In fact, I already have and would love to go back. We plan on doing it again for our 5th anniversary or possibly a vow renewal.hings to do:
• luxury treatments at the “Overwater Spa”
• scuba diving in the “Big Yard” (the third largest Barrier Reef in the world)
• guided tours of the cay and Andros Island
• fly fishing in bone fish flats
• romantic dinner or drinks at the Tiki Bar
• day trip on a private seaplane
• snorkeling, picnics, tennis, kayaking and so much more

 

Elle Magazine UK said, “It is really no exaggeration to say, a true piece of paradise…Kamalame Cay is all about comfort and indulgence, but delivered with a relaxed attitude. ‘Do whatever you want, whenever you want’ would appear to be the mantra.” 

 

This is truly apparent throughout the tales of experiences on this island.
