Rosewood Exuma Plans a 124-Acre Private Island for 2028

Rosewood Exuma is under construction on a 124-acre private island within the Exuma Cays, one of the Bahamas' most extraordinary archipelagos, known for pink-and-white sand beaches meeting water of genuinely cartoonish clarity. Construction on phase one is underway, with the resort now targeted to open in 2028, a later date than some of the project's earlier announcements suggested.

The finished resort will keep its footprint deliberately intimate, just 33 suites, alongside a 20,000-square-foot Asaya wellness sanctuary and two marinas. That scale, small even by private-island standards, reflects a design built around solar power and sustainability-first principles rather than maximizing room count.

The Exuma Cays have long been considered among the most naturally spectacular and least developed parts of the Bahamas, and Rosewood's decision to build at this restrained a scale, with sustainability built into the resort's core design rather than added afterward, suggests the brand is treating the island's ecology as a genuine constraint rather than a marketing angle.
