The Top Private Islands In The Bahamas
The private islands in the Bahamas offer tropical beauty and a relaxed atmosphere, just a short flight away from Miami. WIMCO’s private island portfolio includes two luxurious private island resorts on this island nation: Musha Cay and Kamalame Cay. Because of their proximity to the US, it doesn’t take long to get to these island paradises, making them perfect private island getaways.
Musha Cay
Musha Cay, in the southern Bahamas, is a secluded and private spot, ideal for multi-generational bucket list luxury island vacations, weddings and romantic private island getaways for couples. The island features a 10,000-square-foot manor house and five private villas, which can accommodate up to 24 guests.

How special your wedding would be with all of your best friends and family together on this special private island. In addition to the spectacular rooms and suites, Musha Cay offers multiple dining areas, several beaches, a gym, a freshwater swimming pool and a unique, outdoor theater.
Kamalame Cay
Kamalame Cay, just off Andros Great Barrier Reef in the Bahamas, is a great choice for a private island vacation for two. It offers a small number of casually-elegant beachfront villas, scattered around the 96-acre property. One of the appeals of this luxurious private Bahamas island is its "unplugged" experience, with no televisions and electronics in the guest suites.
This is the place to unwind and enjoy the lush tropical gardens and uncrowded, white sand beaches. Other amenities on Kamalame Cay include tennis courts, a freshwater swimming pool and an overwater spa.
