Hattie Cay: Your Own Private Island in The Exumas

Hattie Cay: Your Own Private Island in The Exumas

Imagine waking up surrounded by nothing but turquoise water, white sand and the quiet beauty of the Exumas.

Welcome to Paradise

Hattie Cay offers an intimate private-island experience where barefoot luxury, privacy and adventure come together in one extraordinary Bahamian escape.

Hidden among the spectacular waters of the Exumas, Hattie Cay is the kind of place most travelers dream about but rarely experience: a private island surrounded by aquamarine water, pristine beaches and endless views of the Bahamian horizon.

Life here is deliberately simple. Swim directly from the island, explore the surrounding sandbars by paddleboard, enjoy lunch overlooking the water or spend an afternoon doing absolutely nothing.

With accommodations designed around the natural environment, Hattie Cay combines privacy and comfort with the relaxed, barefoot lifestyle that makes the Exumas so special.

Designed Around the Island

Private accommodations surrounded by uninterrupted views of the Exumas.

Hattie Cay's distinctive octagonal bungalows were designed to maximize the connection between indoor comfort and the remarkable natural environment surrounding the island.

Positioned apart from one another, the accommodations create a genuine sense of privacy while offering expansive views across the water and surrounding sandbars.

The Master Suite

Located at one end of the island, the master suite offers a king bed, air conditioning and an outdoor shower — creating a private retreat where the water is never far from view.

A Second Private Retreat

Follow the island boardwalk to another secluded bedroom suite, positioned away from the main living area for additional privacy. It also features a king bed, air conditioning and an outdoor shower surrounded by spectacular views.

Barefoot Luxury

On Hattie Cay, the best room in the house is outside.

The open-air lounge, dining area and kitchen are designed around relaxed island living. Meals become long lunches overlooking the water, evenings revolve around sunset, and shoes quickly become optional.

The experience isn't about traditional resort luxury. It's about having space, privacy and an extraordinary natural environment almost entirely to yourself.

Your Playground Is the Exumas

Step off the island and the adventure begins.

Hattie Cay is surrounded by the warm, clear water that has made the Exumas one of the world's most desirable yacht and island destinations.

Spend the morning exploring by paddleboard, cast a line in the surrounding waters, sail around the cay or simply swim from one beautiful stretch of shoreline to another.

Available Island Activities

  • Paddleboarding through crystal-clear water.
  • Fishing around the surrounding cays.
  • Sailing trimarans.
  • Swimming and snorkeling.
  • Exploring nearby sandbars.
  • Beach picnics and sunset cocktails.
  • Simply disconnecting and doing absolutely nothing.
Yacht & island

The Ultimate Combination: Private Island + Private Yacht

Hattie Cay becomes even more special when incorporated into a private yacht charter through the Exumas.

Instead of choosing between a luxury yacht and a private island, combine both experiences. Use Hattie Cay as your private base while your yacht opens up the surrounding Exuma Cays for exploration.

Spend one day cruising between secluded beaches and sandbars, another visiting iconic Exumas destinations, and return to your own island for dinner and a peaceful evening under the stars.

YCN Experience: Hattie Cay is ideal as part of a custom Exumas itinerary, combining private-island accommodations with a professionally crewed yacht for exploring the surrounding cays.
Your private escape

Who Is Hattie Cay For?

Hattie Cay isn't designed for everyone — and that's exactly what makes it special.

  • Couples looking for an exceptionally private romantic escape.
  • Families wanting uninterrupted time together away from resorts and crowds.
  • Friends looking for a completely private Bahamian adventure.
  • Yacht charter guests wanting to incorporate several nights ashore into an Exumas itinerary.
  • Special occasions where privacy and setting matter more than traditional resort amenities.
A slower rhythm

Disconnect to Reconnect

Some destinations are about what you can do. Hattie Cay is just as much about what you don't have to do.

There are no crowded pools, elevators or restaurant reservations. Your day follows the sun, the tide and whatever you feel like doing next.

Wake up slowly. Swim before breakfast. Explore the surrounding water. Take a paddleboard to a sandbar. Have lunch barefoot. Watch the sunset with a cocktail.

Then look up.

With the lights of the city far behind you, evenings in the Exumas reveal a completely different sky.
