Hotel Description
Kamalame Cay is a 96-acre private island hideaway with three miles of sugar-soft sandy beach stretching along its eastern shore just off the coast of Andros Island in The Bahamas. This barrier island is accessible only by our own private ferry or seaplane. Kamalame Cay is the perfect choice for guests who value elegance, adventure, privacy, and the romance of a unique Caribbean experience.
Kamalame Cay features gourmet Caribbean cuisine, beautiful beaches, a freshwater pool cut neatly into the Silver Palms that embrace the island, and some of the best fishing and diving found anywhere.
A handful of gracefully decorated private villas dot our island escape and face a rhythmic ocean surf that will lull you into an attitude that requires only bare feet, suntan lotion, and a cocktail, making Kamalame Cay the perfect blend of romance and adventure.

Facilities
The Great HouseThe Great House on the Cay serves as a perfect place to rendezvous for meals, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and tales of the day's adventures. This gathering place, with its inviting wrap-around veranda, is tastefully decorated with art, antiques, and a collection of Bahamian furnishings including comfortable oversized furniture. Enjoy our Great House, built in 19th century British tradition, and relax with a glass of wine while drinking in the tranquilizing panoramic view of the Caribbean.
Meals at Kamalame are always a special event. The menu features gourmet Caribbean cuisine incorporating fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and other local delicacies. These candle-lit meals are carefully prepared and elegantly presented by Kamalame's attentive staff. After dinner, gently-aged rum, cognac and vintage port help encourage good conversation and dramatic star gazing from the beach. Breakfasts are served made-to-order with freshly squeezed juices, home-baked Bahamian bread and other delights. Lunches in the Great House will include refreshing salads, tropical fruit, delicious seafood and tempting deserts. Generous box lunches will help complete a perfect day on the water or a private picnic on the beach.
Tiki BarThe Tiki Bar is a wonderful spot to base your beach, pool or evening activities. With its fully-stocked bar and captivating island music, you will be lured into the thatch-roofed hut and inspired to relax.
Elements permitting, we host a Tiki-torch, candle-lit Bahamian beach banquet and BBQ weekly. Our buffet is laden with delicious surf-and-turf selections accompanied by the local island twist on traditional dishes. These nights also feature a live "rake & scrape" band that plays infectious island melodies.

With comfortable lounge chairs, fluffy beach towels, spectacular ocean views and beverages at hand in the adjoining Tiki Bar; days spent by the pool at Kamalame will be memorable.
