Tiamo

A secluded boutique resort that can only be reached by boat or seaplane. Its eleven luxury eco villas feature modern decor with a hint at Caribbean style in the form of plenty of blue and white hues, bleached wood and thatched roofs. All materials are sustainably sourced. Add to this stylish stone bathrooms and you have a designer's dream. Doors open onto private pools and a large veranda including hammocks. A reminder that you're in paradise. There is another large pool with sea views and your own private beach: no shortage of spaces to sun worship. Dine on fresh Caribbean fusion cuisine, with an emphasis on seafood dishes or enjoy aperitifs and watch the sunset out on the terrace. Tiamo has an entire fleet of boats to choose from. Head out on the serene, azure blue waters of the Southern Bite, whilst the scuba diving between Andros and Nassau is phenomenal. If you're not certified there are qualified instructors. A true island paradise.

Why do people love staying in your hotel? Tiamo Resort is the first Boutique Hotel in the Bahamas to join the famous brand Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Because it a human sized resort, with only 33 guests for 11 villas on the property, we can organize a personal service. Tiamo Resort engenders the spirit of wellbeing for disconnecting from the World and this secret place is for everybody from “renegades to royalty”. Our property is 100% private, with no public road access, and 6 km of private beach and we organize (including at nightime) all local transfers in South Andros island to our Secret Island.

What is there to do in the area? Tiamo Resort is in South Andros Island , which is the biggest island in the Bahamas, but with the smallest population. In front of the third biggest reef in the world, which is five minutes by boat from our beach, we have the famous “Blue hole”. This is an incredible place for snorkelling and Scuba Diving, and we have the PADI Dive center on our property. South Andros is also located on what is arguably the top spot in the world for “Bonefishing” (Special salt water fly-fishing). Tiamo Resort is the perfect location for relaxing, for honeymooners, and family time – we offer numerous complementary activities: paddle boat, glass kayak, sailing, Snorkelling trips.

What kind of breakfast do you offer? Do you offer other meals? Our rates include 3 meals per day, including breakfast and all regular Soft Drinks. Our Chef is a young Bahamian, and he is “Michelin” trained.

And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? South Andros has no urban Night Life, as it is a real Island experience and this is the reason that all meals are included in our per-night rates.

Which are your most popular room types, and why? Tiamo resort has 5 poolside Villas of 700sq ft. These are popular. Then there are the bedrooms with well-appointed bathrooms, with private Sundeck. All are within easy reach of the private beach.
