Kamalame Cay is a family-owned, 96-acre barrier island that perfectly balances high-end glamour with "barefoot" simplicity. Located just a mile from the world’s third-largest barrier reef, it is a premier destination for divers and bonefish anglers. The island is car-free; every guest is assigned a personal golf cart to navigate the flower-lined paths. In 2026, it remains a favorite "off-radar" retreat for A-listers, offering a world where "island time" is the only clock and the daily delivery of a breakfast basket to your villa porch is the only morning appointment.
Accommodations & Design The architecture is a blend of Balinese influences and classic West Indian style. All units are beachfront, featuring high-beamed ceilings, limestone floors, and French doors that dissolve the barrier between indoors and the Atlantic. The Beachfront Bungalows are perfect for couples, featuring outdoor showers and private verandas. The multi-bedroom villas (like SipSip or Rose Apple) are expansive estates with full kitchens and, in some cases, private plunge pools. Interiors are finished in a "coastal palette" of whitewashed wood and breezy linens.
Amenities & Inclusions Kamalame’s amenities are centered on the reef and a sophisticated social life.
The Overwater Spa: A glass-floored sanctuary perched over the sea, using organic OSEA products.
Gastronomy: The Great House is the social heart, serving Asian-accented Bahamian cuisine. Other venues include Sugarcane (farm-to-table), the Tiki Bar, and the Monkey Bar.
Marine & Sport: A PADI-certified dive shop, premier bonefishing on the backwater flats, and complimentary use of kayaks, paddleboards, and fat-tire bicycles.
The Social Scene: Famous for its monthly Beachside Luncheon, a high-spirited party that draws guests and residents from across the Bahamas.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Kamalame Cay is "social but secluded." While the Great House encourages a communal atmosphere, the 3 miles of beach and the wide spacing between villas ensure that you can remain entirely undisturbed. There are no day-trippers allowed, and the island’s remote location off Andros acts as a natural barrier. For the ultimate in sovereignty, the larger villas function as self-contained estates, and the staff is famously adept at providing "invisible service" to high-profile guests who wish to remain anonymous.
