Sandals Emerald Bay announced it will undergo an estimated $100 million transformation to become ‘Beaches Exuma’, a much larger resort that will sit on the same property.

During this redevelopment, the resort will be temporarily closed, beginning the 15th of August. We anticipate the construction phase will last for six to eight months. Sandals has assured the government that the temporary closure is necessary in order to protect the safety of staff and visitors while the property undergoes significant renovation.

It is projected that the construction phase will generate 400 jobs, and that the construction and renovations will produce other opportunities for local contractors and other businesses on the island.

Though our island will experience a temporary disruption, the investment is a significant one for our community. Exuma has seen substantial economic growth in the last several years, with virtually all Exumians who want to work able to find an opportunity to do so. Beaches Exuma will add to our islands’ success, employing more than 850 people, and significantly boosting local employment and family-focused entrepreneurial opportunities.
