A private island resort, ideal for that absolute escape, whether as intimate honeymooners, avid fishermen, small conference groups, close family reunions or just to find complete relief from the maddening crowds http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Bahamas/kamalame/hotel/704/15/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:28:07 EST Welcome to Kamalame Cay, a five star all-inclusive private island resort, situated on 96 acres, with 3 miles of pristine white sand beach; intimate marina rooms, romantic cottage and villa suites. Suites are secluded, and located on the beach, all with large soaking bathtubs/showers that look out to palm fringed ocean views. Just off the coast of Andros island in the Bahamas, where world-renowned Bonefishing flats abound. Wade on your own or hire a skiff with an expert Kamalame guide, as shown on ESPN; or Scuba dive the second largest barrier reef in the world, with our own dive-master. Kamalame. It is a tree native to the Bahamas, but to us, Kamalame represents our two island properties, which stand out in their elegance and luxury. Although only an hour from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, they are a world apart. The islands are adjacent to the mainland of Andros Island, Bahamas. Commonly called "The Sleeping Giant," Andros is the largest island of the Bahamas, yet it remains largely unexplored and sparsely populated. Despite the isolated surroundings, Kamalame treats their guests to the utmost in amenities. Enjoy a gourmet meal surrounded by pillars of stone, or stroll leisurely down 3 miles of isolated beach. The solitude is perfect for those seeking a private and secluded holiday, without sacrificing comfort. AMENITIES: Kamalame Cove is an island of rock now joined to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand placed by a storm several years ago. The Cove is a secluded, 4 acres of tropical wonderland, with three private, white sand beaches. Whole groves of Kamalame trees, coconut palms, hibiscus and sea grapes ensure intimate privacy. The 7,000 square foot verandah-wrapped villa is an inviting residence, perfect for two to eight people. ACTIVITIES: Sit on the beach, read a book, soak in a tub...or delve into the adventurous side of Kamalame. Explore the third longest barrier reef in the world, with a scuba tank or without. Practice your casting on the World's Best Bonefishing Flats. Test your wits against the great marlin, wahoo, and dolphin out in the deep sea. Or take a leisurely day exploring the Sleeping Giant and its natural wonders with your personal guide on an island tour. Kamalame Cay is separated from Andros, near the village of Staniard Creek, by a shallow inlet. The Cay is a 96 acre private island, with 3 miles of white sand beach stretching along its eastern shore. This barrier island is accessible by our ferry only, ensuring optimum privacy. It is the site of the enchanting Kamalame villas and suites, each surrounded by its own tropical garden and directly on the beach. The Cay is ideal for that absolute escape, whether as intimate honeymooners, avid fishermen, small conference groups, close family reunions or just to find complete relief from the maddening crowds. An escape to Kamalame is a fabulous treat that we should all sample. Experience the Bahamas as you never have before; fish and dive the surrounding waters, savor magnificent meals, and relish supreme service in absolute comfort. Andros Island's world-renowned bonefishing, spectacular snorkeling and diving, and completely relaxing atmosphere accompanied by truly world-class accommodations at Kamalame make for the perfect getaway for discriminating travelers.
