The Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the perfect place for anyone seeking a comfortable and casual getaway on a remote, unspoiled island nestling in the magnificent chain of Bahamian Out-Islands called the Exuma Cays and lying approximately 75 miles southeast of Nassau and 250 miles southeast of Florida. . The island’s main attractions are its friendly people, beautiful clear waters, and secluded beaches. With a population of less than eighty full-time residents, Staniel Cay is the ideal place to escape from the cares of the world.

Cottages are perched on rocks literally overhanging the Exuma Sound, where the water laps along the shore only feet below. Staniel Cay Yacht Club includes nine cottages, three two-level suites, five one-bedroom cottages and a large cottage.

Every suite and cottage includes modern, tropical décor, with private balconies. The waterfront and water-view suites (Ocean Blue, and Key Lime and Periwinkle) have second-level master bedrooms with either a queen bed or two twin beds, full bath and private waterfront balcony. A spiral staircase connects to the living room downstairs with an elegant daybed and trundle along with a second full bath and lower waterfront balcony. Periwinkle is nestled among tropical foliage and has incredible sunset and water views.

The five waterfront cottages (Pink, Blue, Orange, Lavender and Yellow) include one bedroom with a queen or two twin beds, full bath and private balcony overhanging the ocean, and all cottages face west for beautiful sunset views.

The largest cottage (Coral) is located underneath a giant shade tree close to the water. Appointed with a master bedroom (with one queen or two twin beds), master bath, as well as two guest bedrooms (one with a twin bed, the other has four twin beds that accommodate seven adults). A beautifully finished living room provides a great common area with French doors that open onto the front deck under the tree. A private back deck provides another retreat. It is deal for larger families or groups up to seven.

All accommodations have air conditioning, but there are no TVs or phones. You will find hairdryers, coffee makers and refrigerators in each room, while TV, phones, fax and Wi-Fi are available in the clubhouse.

The Yacht Club restaurant’s renowned Bahamian-American cuisine and island bar (named as one of Jimmy Buffett's "10 Great Places for a Waterside Drink") is a highlight for guests. It is a unique and casual atmosphere with superb food. On a given evening in the clubhouse, hotel guests, visiting yachtsmen, Staniel locals, celebrities, neighboring cay residents, and private pilots all come together to share food, cocktails, experiences and lively conversations.

All guests also have access to 13-foot Boston Whalers to see the local sights. Visit the famous “swimming pigs” at Big Major Cay, or nearby nurse sharks and wild iguanas. Within minutes you can cruise to a secluded island where the only footprints are your own. The beaches on Staniel Cay are absolutely beautiful, but for some, the dozens of untouched beaches on the many cays surrounding Staniel are an even bigger attraction.
