Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts has officially unveiled plans for a breathtaking new project, the Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Cave Cay, scheduled to open in 2029. Nestled on the stunning 220-acre private island of Cave Cay in the Exumas, the resort promises to redefine luxury travel in the Caribbean and offer Miami travelers an unparalleled escape.
With its pristine white-sand beaches, enchanting caves, and majestic hills overlooking turquoise waters, Cave Cay is widely celebrated as one of the most beautiful islands in the Bahamas. The luxurious Bvlgari Resort will feature 64 opulent suites and seafront villas along with 48 exclusive Bvlgari-branded private mansions and estates available for sale.
“This extraordinary project will not only mark the first Bvlgari Resort in the Caribbean but also serve as a new benchmark for upscale travelers who frequent our other iconic properties,” said Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari. “The Exumas have emerged as a premier destination for glamorous tourists, and we envision Bvlgari Resort Cave Cay as the ultimate sustainable luxury destination.”
Guests at the resort can expect an extensive array of facilities, including a world-class spa and wellness center, a multi-sports enclave for active vacations, and a dedicated kids’ club. Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the offerings at the renowned Bvlgari Bar and Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, curated by Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito, as well as the signature beach club, La Spiaggia, perfect for sun-soaked afternoons.
The resort will also boast a fully activated marina that caters to both residents and visitors, providing access to a promenade filled with distinctive shops and culinary experiences. From here, guests can embark on thrilling water sports and excursions to nearby untouched islands, further enhancing the allure of this tropical paradise.
Emile Haddad, Chairman of the Board for Cave Cay General Partner Ltd, emphasized the project’s commitment to quality and sustainability, stating, “Our partnership with Bvlgari unites like-minded individuals dedicated to creating extraordinary spaces. With world-class craftsmanship and thoughtful design, the Bvlgari Resort & Mansions at Cave Cay aligns perfectly with the Bahamian government’s vision to position Exuma as the ultimate Caribbean destination.”
The Hon. I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism for the Bahamas, highlighted the broader impact of the project, noting that it represents a significant step toward sustainable economic growth and high-end tourism in the region. “This transformative investment reinforces the appeal of the Exumas on a global scale,” he remarked.
Reflecting Bvlgari’s hallmark Italian design ethos, the resort will harmoniously blend traditional elements with contemporary architecture by ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Every detail is meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of luxurious comfort, ensuring guests enjoy an experience rooted in the rich heritage of the location.
As Bvlgari continues to expand its prestigious collection—which includes renowned properties in Milan, London, Bali, and beyond—the addition of the Cave Cay resort stands out as a beacon of elegance and extravagance, while also complementing upcoming openings in Miami, Bodrum, and the Maldives between 2026 and 2029.
For Miami’s discerning travelers seeking both adventure and indulgence, the Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Cave Cay is poised to become an essential destination, perfectly reflecting the city’s vibrant spirit and desire for unparalleled luxury.
