Kamalame Cay, Andros Island, Bahamas

Kamalame Cay is a beautiful 96-acre private cay off the northeast coast of Andros Island and offers laid back chic in a glorious Caribbean setting. It is the perfect island escape for those seeking superior accommodation, gourmet cuisine, miles of white-sand beach, great bonefish flats and offshore fishing.

Andros Island offers world-class bonefishing

Andros Island is home to world-class bonefishing and Kamalame Cay is fortunate to be able to offer two distinct fisheries. There is abundant water with excellent bonefishing right on the backside of the cay as well as in the nearby creeks and flats stretching all the way to Majestic Point. Andros is renowned for having some of the largest bonefish in the Bahamas. Fish averaging a solid four pounds to many in the nine pound plus range are encountered while even larger bones work the edges of the flats.

Kamalame Cay’s seasoned guides, using Maverick flats skiffs with poling platforms, will meet anglers each day either at the cay to fish the local waters or at the north end of Andros to fish The Joulters. Full or half-day guided trips are available (full-day only for The Joulters). Both experienced and novice fishermen are encouraged to enjoy the expansive flats and the challenge of stalking the elusive bonefish.

If you favour a more relaxed pace or if you just cannot stop fishing at the end of the day, wander on your own and wade Davis Creek’s sweeping flat just a short distance from the backdoor of your villa.

Luxury, private and superior accommodation

Kamalame Cay is a ‘barefoot chic’ Caribbean retreat featuring 22 utterly private luxurious seaside rooms and suites in a range of charming, bougainvillea-draped cottages and bungalows, peak roof Balinese beach houses and classic Plantation style villas. A lush oasis ringed by three miles of deserted, white-sand beach and colourful coral gardens, the warm, turquoise waters teem with manta ray, parrotfish and blue tangs .

Furnished with art, books, antiques and a collection of South Asian and Bahamian decor, the Great House is a gathering place where guests enjoy cocktails and meals. A white sand path off the garden terrace, leads to a heated, fresh water pool as well as the Tiki Bar with an open grill that regularly hosts torch-lit, Bahamian beachside banquets enlivened by local bands.

As well as bonefishing, Kamalame Cay offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy. There is the amazing beach, freshwater swimming pool, a tennis court and sea kayaks. Should you wish to dive, there is a fully equipped PADI rated dive centre, staffed with experienced instructors. Kamalame Cay also offers guided island tours. The spa offers over-water treatment rooms perched at the end of a 200-ft pier, all with unobstructed views to the turquoise Atlantic in front and below. Along with traditional massages, therapists offer several unique treatments incorporating wonderful natural ingredients available on Kamalame Cay.

Easy access to a tropical paradise 

Kamalame Cay is in the heart of the Bahamas, off the coast of Andros Island and just one mile from the third largest barrier reef in the world.  Many flights service the international airport in Nassau and from here it’s a quick hop in a sea plane direct to the lodge.  Alternatively take a light aircraft to Fresh Creek on Andros Island and from there, a short boat transfer to Kamalame Cay.
