Sandals Emerald Bay: Bahamas Resort Paradise Set to Reopen for Guests

Sandals Emerald Bay, on the sun kissed island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas, is slated to open its doors again on July 2. The resort has been readying for its highly anticipated reopening by putting safety measures into place in light of the Covi-19 pandemic. Guests can expect to enjoy a full scale luxury experience that is the Sandals® signature.

“Just in time for the summer season, Sandals Emerald Bay will reopen its doors and begin to welcome guests back to the exotic islands of the Exumas the beginning of July,” said Jeremy Mutton, General Manager of Sandals Emerald Bay. “Just a short distance from the airport, guests of Sandals Emerald Bay will be whisked away on a sanitized private transfer to the resort and will be greeted with the exceptional Caribbean hospitality Sandals® is known for. As outlined through the local health ministry, guests arriving will not undergo an island quarantine period and can step into luxury the moment they arrive at Sandals Emerald Bay.”

The resort has painstakingly made changes, in keeping with new standards, to ensure guests are comfortable and have an optimal island experience. “Recently, we announced enhancements to our already industry-leading health and safety measures called our Sandals Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness,” said Mutton. “These protocols have been implemented across all 15 Sandals® Resorts, including Sandals Emerald Bay. They involve several preemptive measures comprised of a triple check system for cleaning and sanitation that will encompass 18 key touch points, starting from the moment our guests arrive at our airport lounges through the entirety of their Caribbean resort experience.”

What would a luxury resort vacation be without a relaxing and rejuvenating spa visit? Sandals Emerald Bay has that covered as well. “Vacation begins by giving your mind, body and soul a chance to unwind and re-energize, and there’s no better place for that than our exclusive Red Lane® Spa,” said Mutton. “Our Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness extend to our spas as well and have been created with the guest experience in mind. This includes enhanced measures to ensure the highest standards of health and well being while at the same time still being pampered.” The spa offers a variety of treatments in keeping with the relaxed island vibe. These include the Scents of Love Couples Massage and the Papaya-Pineapple Salt Mousse Body Treatment, among others.

Guests may want to explore the island via the excursions that make a Sandals Emerald Bay stay a memorable one, and those will be available as well. “Sandals® Resorts include all land and water sports activities for unlimited fun,” said Mutton. “Couples looking for some additional adventure will soon be able to book off-resort excursions through Island Routes Caribbean Adventures, with a dedicated tour desk right inside the resort lobby.”

At the heart of the Sandals Emerald Bay experience are its many gastronomic offerings. The resort does not disappoint. “All of our 11 restaurants and six bars will be fully operational at the resort, with a large number of our restaurants already having expansive outdoor seating options,” said Mutton. “Sandals 5-Star Global Gourmet™ dining offers as many as 21 unique culinary concepts from around the world, so guests can enjoy a level of variety, quality and creativity that’s simply unmatched anywhere in the Caribbean.” Sandals®Resorts Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness, which includes everything from mask and glove requirements for team members to touch-less menus, adds an extra layer of comfort and security for guests while dining.

“Sandals Emerald Bay will continue to boast a culinary experience like no other, whether dining at the coveted Bombay Club for classic Indian fare or Bahama Bay for authentic Bahamian cuisine – the choices are endless.”

Sandals Emerald Bay is poised to re-emerge from its hiatus to offer the same, unparalleled luxury experience it’s known for. “With all of our same and beloved amenities, warm Caribbean hospitality and Platinum Protocols of Cleanliness in place, we are confident guests can expect the same Luxury Included® experience that we’ve always been known to deliver without compromising any aspect of your beloved vacation,” said Mutton.
