Cape Santa Maria

Top choice in Out Islands


A string of bungalows and villas along the gleaming-white Cape Santa Maria Beach, this resort brings to life what many have in mind when seeking untrammeled Bahamian coastal relaxation. There are gazebos and daybeds for enjoying the island air, the usual suite of sea-based activities on offer, and half- and full-board packages available. Minimum seven-night stay in high season.

Activities at the resort include scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing and kayaking.
