Known as a primary habitat for conch, fish, and turtles, Bahamians refer to the lush beds of seagrass surrounding many of the undeveloped islands in the central region of the Exumas as “turtlegrass”. Turtlegrass Resort and Island Club, located on Big Sampson Cay, is designed to provide a classic Bahamian experience featuring spectacular views with large gathering facilities, beachfront cottages, and storybook snorkeling among the turtlegrass that surrounds the island.
Breathtaking waters that steal your words and leave you speechless. Lush plant life, living coral reefs, and currents in a cut attracting an array of fish, rays, conch, and sea turtles – evidence that in rare places, the oceans are very much alive. We strive to remain in harmony with this delicate ecosystem at every step, from design to occupancy, energy to waste management.
A body in harmony with its surroundings is a body that performs at its best. At Turtlegrass Resort and Island Club, wellness and fitness are priorities. Fine cuisine will include farm-to-table offerings from island gardens and trees. Yoga on the beach and in hilltop venues, a fitness center, nature trails, and watersports for every sort of adventure to embrace the stunning blue-green waters of the Exumas.
Offering a taste of the islands, we prioritize using naturally-grown native produce and ingredients such as coconut, soursop, pomegranate, starfruit, mango, citrus, limes, cocoplum, and guava. Our menu features fresh eggs, honey, chicken, and fish, along with beverages crafted from locally sourced fruits, including the renowned skyjuice made from coconut water. Educational initiatives about our natural growing techniques are also a staple, and we will employ a dedicated gardener to nurture our ingredients.
