You're headed to a tropical paradise for your romantic honeymoon resort. You'll be there for a whole week with the one you love. What could be more romantic? Not much. But we have tips to help you make your beach honeymoon resort even more romantic…. The water is a color you thought only existed in your imagination. The sand, white or shell pink, is so clean it squeaks beneath your bare feet as you walk the length of the beach. The sun warms you to the bone as you lay beside each other sipping a wondrous concoction of rum, juice and spices you'll never be able to replicate. This is a honeymoon resort in the Bahamian islands, and it will change you forever Private. Romantic Vacations. The just right week or two in a secluded slice of paradise. Our honeymoon resort vacation is one of the world's finest getaways. With luxury accommodations, impeccable service, and lots of time to just enjoy each other. Most of all, you'll remember your time together in the islands forever. Cat Island (Southern Bahamas). With an eel-like shape, Cat Island is only a few miles wide and 48 miles long. A sleepy island in the southern Bahamian backwater, Cat Island ranks with Crooked Island (see below) as an escapist's retreat. Most tourists visit for the annual Cat Island Regatta in summer, which attracts some of the top yachties from Florida and The Bahamas. If you're not a boater, the only real reason to visit is for the miles of beautiful and untrammeled beaches. There are a few sights worth seeing, including the 206-foot Mount Alvernia, the highest point in The Bahamas. Cat Island, however, is not a place where you can expect to find grand tourist facilities. It has only a few small resorts and inns, and infrequent flights from Nassau make this remote island difficult to reach. It's one of the most fertile of the Bahamian islands; most of its residents grow pineapples and tomatoes for a living. A single road connects the villages that dot the island's surface. The largest village is Arthur's Town, a sun-flooded cluster of clapboard-and-cement buildings that seems to slumber in the salty air. Eclectic visitors, cottages, and islanders make this remote island one of The Honeymoon Resort best kept secrets. It's not that hard to get to, you just have to work at it a little. Your efforts are well rewarded with a deserted, powdery white sand beach rimmed with causerina pines. Peace and solitude are the hallmark of this established nine-villa Honeymoon Resort. Each beach house is unique, some wood, some stone, some with kitchens, garden baths, all with ceiling fans. You have yards of beach with gently lapping waves all to yourself. Fernandez Bay Honeymoon Resort lies on the leeward side of Cat Island, about midway in its long, skinny 45-mile length. Catt, a pirate who plied its clear waters is the island's namesake. Maintaining the just-settled 17th century quality Honeymoon Resort, villages still known as settlements, dot the quiet coastline. The Armbrister family has owned a large portion of Honeymoon Resort Cat Island since an eighteenth century English monarch deeded this far-off land to their ancestors. Operating this sleepy Honeymoon Resort for over 20 years, Mrs. A, as she is affectionately known, revels in her role as hostess, divulging tidbits of information and history on The Bahamas and Cat Island in particular. Her son, Tony and a small, friendly Honeymoon Resort staff assist in the operation of Fernandez Bay, including charter air service from Nassau to the adjacent airstrip. Strolling barefoot down the Honeymoon Resort beach at sunset, guests gather for drinks and dinner at dusk each evening. A great chance to mingle with other fortunate souls who hang out on Cat. The beach bar runs on the honor system, you make yourself a drink and write the tab. "Bahamian scrumptious" best describes the cuisine as able and creative local chefs spoil you with lobster, grilled seafood, steaks, chicken, and local vegetables to satisfy the most hardy appetite. Provisions from the resort's general store are available to fix your own breakfast and lunches, or you can savor home-cooked meals in the library-turned-cafe. The biggest decision every day at this Honeymoon Resort is whether to bike the 4 miles to Mt. Alvernia, highest point in The Bahamas at 206 feet to visit The Hermitage, snorkel and swim in front of your cottage, take a sunfish sail, join the dive staff in an excursion to Cat Island's shipwrecks and coral reefs, or laze in the hammock and read a book. Nightlife is what you make it. Visiting sailors, many repeat guests, and newcomers enliven the dinner conversation and evening bonfire. Couples and families alike love the Honeymoon Resort. Children are welcome, babysitters available, and the villas are quiet and private along the half-moon bay. Fernandez Bay Village proves the perfect choice to indulge yourself, languishing in the Bahamas Out Islands' solitude and relaxed atmosphere.Check out Fernandez Bay Village, for more information about this luxury Bahamas vacation resort! |
