Why Beaches Exuma Is Generating So Much Excitement
Beaches Exuma is the first new Beaches Resort we have seen in a very long time. This resort will replace a classic and fan favorite Sandals Emerald Bay. The location, crystal clear waters, and famous excursions such as swim with the pigs, boating, snorkleing create an already enormous brand. This is the next best all-inclusive luxury family destination.
Join the Waitlist
If your family has been waiting for the next Beaches Resort, Beaches Exuma should be at the top of your list.
The transformation of the former Sandals Emerald Bay into Beaches Exuma is currently the furthest along, with reservations expected to open in the coming months and the first guest arrivals currently targeted for early 2028.
Because this will be the first completely new Beaches Resort available to book, we expect demand to be extremely high, especially for larger family suites, concierge accommodations, and premium room categories.
Our recommendation: If Beaches Exuma is your first choice, don’t wait until reservations officially open. Join our waitlist now so you’re ready to book as soon as sales begin.
Although Beaches Resorts has not officially announced reservation dates, Beaches Barbados is widely expected to be the next project after Beaches Exuma.
During our recent visit to Barbados, we observed development activity beginning at the future resort site, giving us confidence that work is progressing.
While there’s still plenty to be announced, Beaches Barbados has quickly become one of the most anticipated future family resorts in the Caribbean.
If Barbados has always been on your family’s wish list, now is the perfect time to join the waitlist so you’re among the first to hear when additional details become available.
Beaches Resorts has officially announced plans for Beaches Runaway Bay, bringing another family-friendly resort to Jamaica.
Reservations have not yet been announced, and we currently expect the resort to open after Beaches Barbados.
We’ll continue updating this page as Beaches Resorts releases additional information about room categories, amenities, and booking dates.
While Beaches St. Vincent has not been officially announced, it continues to be one of the strongest rumors surrounding the future expansion of Beaches Resorts.
Because Sandals already has a successful presence on the island, St. Vincent is considered by many industry observers to be a logical future location for the Beaches brand.
For now, there is no confirmed timeline, but we’ll continue updating this page as more information becomes available.
For more than 32 years, we’ve specialized in Caribbean all-inclusive vacations.
We’re proud to be:
- Ohio’s #1 Sandals & Beaches travel agency
- Top 10 worldwide for Sandals & Beaches Resorts
- Advisors who personally visit the resorts we recommend
- A team that helps clients long before booking opens
Because we’ve experienced the resorts ourselves, we can often recommend room categories, locations, and resort options that best fit each family’s vacation goals.
We’ve been there. Let us take you there.
