Top Exuma Wedding Venues

The strongest full-service luxury wedding venue currently operating in Exuma. Grand Isle sits beside Emerald Bay on Great Exuma and offers stunning beachfront ceremony space, luxury villa accommodations (so the wedding party stays together rather than dispersed across hotel rooms), and the most developed wedding infrastructure on the island. With the closure of Sandals Emerald Bay next door, Grand Isle is currently the de facto leader for Emerald Bay-area weddings.

If you want a truly private beachfront villa wedding, this is one of the best options in all of The Bahamas. A 6-bedroom villa on a secluded cove on Little Exuma, walking distance to the legendary Tropic of Cancer Beach, the property accommodates up to 12 guests on-site with additional beachfront homes available within walking distance for larger wedding parties. The Outpost has hosted experiential events for Condé Nast, Sony, Veuve Clicquot, and Nike, a useful signal of the production level the team can support. Sandbar weddings, courtyard pool ceremonies, and rooftop sky-deck receptions are all in their repertoire.

Baymahni is Exuma's newest luxury boutique experience, a 40-acre private resort and residential community on Stocking Island that opened October 2025. The property combines exclusive beach and lagoon villas with the kind of personalized service usually reserved for far more expensive Caribbean destinations. Access is exclusively by boat (free water taxi from George Town, every 30 minutes), which gives the property a genuine private-island feel without the private-island price tag. The Beach Club kitchen is purpose-built for island-scale weddings and events.

Located in Staniel Cay, Embrace gives couples direct access to one of the most iconic areas in the Exumas. This Bahamian-owned 7-villa boutique sits 5 minutes from the world-famous Pig Beach (swimming pigs) and just minutes from Thunderball Grotto. The property has been planning weddings for 15+ years with multiple package tiers including a popular sandbar wedding option (transportation from Staniel Cay handled). For couples who want boating, cays, swimming pigs, and adventure woven into the wedding experience, nothing else in Exuma comes close.

A relaxed beachfront venue with authentic Exuma charm at the northern tip of Rolleville on Great Exuma. Thirteen newly built villas sit along three miles of white sand beachfront, with the on-site Exuma Point Beach Bar & Grill anchoring receptions. The property markets itself as a private event venue, and the famous Sunday buffet is a fun anchor for welcome dinners or post-wedding brunches. Half a mile from a quieter pig population, away from the Staniel Cay crowds.

One of the hidden gems of Little Exuma. The Salt House is a chic 4-bedroom beachfront villa on a private cove with 300 yards of white sand, a 3-bedroom main house plus a separate beachfront cottage, infinity pool, poolside bar, and modern coastal design that photographs beautifully. The villa is in Forbes Hill on Little Exuma, walking distance to The Exuma Outpost (which means you can rent both for larger guest counts). About a mile from Tropic of Cancer Beach. The kind of venue couples choose when they want their wedding to feel exclusive, highly curated, and editorial.

Paradise Bay delivers a more relaxed boutique beach wedding atmosphere with charming private cottages and easy access to Exuma's famous water. Located on a 1.2-mile beach protected by a natural coral reef between Steventon and Rokers Point on Great Exuma, the property is genuinely affordable for the area (cottages typically run $200-$300/night) and has a Franco-Bahamian on-site restaurant, Cocoplum Bistro, that handles intimate receptions well. Paradise Bay offers wedding planning support including European-partner help for couples handling paperwork from overseas.

For couples wanting a fun, laid-back Exuma experience, Chat 'N' Chill on Stocking Island creates a totally different wedding atmosphere from traditional resorts. Think beach bonfires, casual receptions, island music, conch salad pulled fresh from the bar, and the authentic Exuma energy that's made this place legendary. Real couples have been holding receptions here for years, usually after the ceremony at a nearby beach or sandbar.

A 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom villa in Farmer's Hill on Great Exuma, sleeps 20, 3,200 square feet, heated pool with swim-up bar, on a sandy secluded beach with consistent top-tier guest reviews. Six minutes from Exuma International Airport (one of the most convenient locations on the island) and four minutes from Three Sisters Beach and Emerald Bay Beach. For couples wanting villa-style flexibility with more bedrooms than The Salt House or The Exuma Outpost on Little Exuma, The Breakwater is the strongest match on Great Exuma.
