The wave of development in the Bahamian accommodation sector is now also hitting the Out Islands.
Over the last four years, more than ú550m was spent on Nassau/Paradise Island, and a $240m regeneration project on Grand Bahama has also been carried out.
A $120m resort and 18-hole championship golf course, the largest project ever to be undertaken in the Out Islands, is planned for Exuma.
The Island Club is being built on 274 acres on Great Exuma and, as well as its golf course, will also boast a health spa and 30-slip marina.
