Sandals Emerald Bay, Exuma, Bahamas

Out of the ordinary luxury comes to the Bahamian out islands with an oceanfront resort, Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma. Born with a legacy and transformed into a legend, this resort with its rich history of refined panache, is now part of the legendary Sandals Luxury Included® brand. Civilized pleasures go hand in hand with exotic adventures along a mile-long crescent shaped beach. Highlights include a par 72 Greg Norman designed golf course, a 16,000 sq. ft. spa, a deepwater marina and five superb restaurants. Sandals Emerald Bay is your own exotic private escape, so easy to get to…so close to home.

It is with great delight that we announce the Greg Norman Champions Golf Academies at Sandals Emerald Bay from June 11-18, 2011 and December 1-8, 2011.
