Yntegra and Rosewood pair up
Rosewood will work in partnership with Yntegra Group, a Miami-based private investment company, on the new development. It aims to unlock the unrealised investment and economic potential of the Exumas region, an archipelago of 365 islands in the Bahamas.
Situated on a 124-acre private island referred to as East Sampson Cay within the Exumas, Rosewood Exuma will comprise just 33 suites, all offering dramatic views of the island’s pink and white sands and turquoise waters and several sitting directly on the beach.
There will be an extensive range of amenities, including six unique food and beverage outlets showcasing local delicacies, including ingredients grown from the resort’s organic garden.
Rosewood Exuma will be home to a fully serviced beach club with a grill restaurant, beach and pool bars, and a private dining room.
Rosewood’s signature Asaya® concept will immerse guests in time-honoured Bahamian wellness traditions. The 20,000-square-foot sanctuary will boast six treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy facility, an outdoor tranquil pool, and a fitness centre.
In addition, there will be an outdoor sports centre featuring tennis, padel and pickleball courts, as well as watersports equipment.
Two marinas with slips are planned to accommodate yachts up to 150 feet, encouraging those travelling around the nearby islands to enjoy Rosewood Exuma’s beach club and various restaurants and bars.
In addition to the beach club pool, the resort will offer two other pools exclusively for overnight guests, including one dedicated to families. For children, there will be the Exumas at Rosewood Explorers, the brand’s signature children’s club concept.
“It’s immensely exciting to be partnering with Yntegra Group to bring Rosewood’s signature blend of luxury and authenticity to the breathtaking Exumas,” said Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.
“We have conceived Rosewood Exuma to offer a next-generation luxury experience – one that honours the quintessential character of this pristine archipelago and invites guests on a journey of discovery and adventure.”
Sustainable development
On the island, just 25% of the 124 acres will be developed, and initiatives such as solar-powered energy sources will be implemented to minimise impact on the island. Through visionary planning, the resort will be designed to blend into the natural island landscapes, not only to preserve the beauty of the Exumas but to ensure a legacy of responsible and conscious development for future generations to enjoy.
“We are enthusiastic about the partnership with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and believe that the brand’s iconic hospitality expertise will help to redefine the industry in Exuma,” said Felipe MacLean, CEO of Yntegra Group.
“This partnership represents our shared vision to create exceptional experiences that inspire and delight our guests while being good community partners who are committed to Exuma.”
“Exuma is the ideal destination for the new Rosewood resort,” said The Hon. I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism for the Bahamas.
“The introduction of Rosewood Exuma, in partnership with Yntegra Group, represents an exciting milestone for our tourism industry. We are thrilled about the expansion of the Rosewood brand and the immense potential for growth in Exuma. This development highlights the unmatched luxury and adventure that Exuma offers while emphasizing our commitment to sustainable and balanced growth.”
