It’s a veritable tropical paradise known for its pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear blue waters. Not only can you admire spectacular sights here, but you can also indulge in fun outdoor activities such as diving and island hopping, enjoy biking, or you can indulge in some golfing. Exuma has a lot of things to do. You may visit Pig Beach to witness the colony of swimming pigs residing there. Additionally, travellers can indulge in windsurfing and snorkelling, and walk on flawless beaches that look like they come straight out of a dream.

Are you excited to witness heaven on earth while staying in fantastic accommodation? Read on to find the best all-inclusive resorts on Great Exuma Island, the Bahamas, for an unforgettable holiday.

Unmissable beaches

With island destinations, there are usually too many beaches to explore in a single vacation. To make the decision easier, I’ve included a few beaches that you simply shouldn’t miss:

  • Starfish Beach: Situated on Stocking Island, which is a short boat ride away from George Town, the isolated beach has stark white sands, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot a few starfish on the shore as well.

  • Jolly Hall Beach: It’s a great spot right on the island where you can hang out and still be close to restaurants and hotels!

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and all-inclusive packages and activities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 16, 2024.
