Grand Isle Resort & Residences sits on Emerald Bay in Great Exuma, offering villa-style suites and a purpose-built beach club that seats up to 100 indoors, with a terrace above the bay for smaller ceremonies and beach ceremonies on the sand next door.
Grand Isle occupies a stretch of Emerald Bay on Great Exuma, in the quieter southern part of the Bahamas, where the water runs shallow and clear. The resort is built around villa-style accommodation, from one-bedroom suites to a large penthouse, so a wedding party can stay together in roomy residences rather than a corridor of hotel rooms. It also has a marina, several restaurants and direct access to the beach.
Ceremonies can take place on the beach beside the resort or on the Ocean View Terrace, which looks over the bay and holds 25 to 50 guests for a ceremony, cocktails, dinner or dancing. Smaller gatherings fit under the Overlook Palapa, which takes up to 15 and can be joined to the terrace. The newest space is the 23° North Beach Club, an indoor and outdoor venue with a restaurant that seats up to 100 guests, and an outdoor patio for the cocktail hour and dancing.
