Off the Grid. On the Edge of the World.

Norman’s Cay is a small island of a few hundred acres to the northern end of the Exuma chain in the Bahamas. It is an island with a story and a spirit that belies its size. Over time it has housed pirates, drug-lords, film makers, explorers, writers and fishermen. Each fell under its spell and left a little of their own spirit in the sand. You don’t need to know their stories to feel the charm here; it is the natural beauty of the island that feeds the imagination.

the island provides a rich sensory experience: the feeling of warm sand underfoot; the refreshing respite of a dip in the ocean; the natural fragrance of tropical fruits and flowers; the sonorous humming of the birds and the bees who call the island home.

Lodging

Following his celebrated collaboration at The Surf Club, Joseph Dirand was commissioned to design the island’s residences. Carefully positioned for privacy and their setting, each combines Bahamian vernacular with rich materials and considered details suited to the culture and climate. Bleached natural materials, woven grass, and smooth stone create a palette that feels robust and warm. Each dwelling feels as though it has always been here.

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
