Welcome to Andros Island!
Andros Island is The Bahamas' natural wonder. The earth's third-largest barrier reef lies adjacent to its shores and fascinates divers and snorkelers with magnificent whales, dolphins, marlin and reef animals. Underwater caves riddle the island, surfacing as mesmerizing blue holes; mangroves serve as relaxing environs for kayaking; flats make the island sought after for bonefishing; and forests delight avid bird watchers with exotic species.

Diving with a Turtle, Andros, Bahamas
Dive Site - Fisherman's Wall; Depth 90 feet; Water temp 79 degrees F. smallhope.com
On our dive yesterday along the Andros Barrier Reef, the third largest barrier reef in the world, we saw this beautiful Hawksbill turtle. She cruised along with us for a while, checking out the divers, before swimming off. Always a great dive when you see a turtle! Oh and a Caribbean reef shark. That never hurts either.
Visit Small Hope Bay Lodge for great diving, snorkeling, relaxing and more!

Adventure: Small Hope Bay, Andros Island in the Bahamas
50km southwest of Nassau's bright lights and busy streets is a remote and mostly uninhabited island that's been forgotten by time.
Protected by the world's 3rd largest barrier reef, Andros Island in The Bahamas was once a safe-haven for pirates and smugglers.
According to legend the famous pirate Captain Henry Morgan would hang lanterns on a cliff to fool passing ships, causing them to wreck on the shallow reef.
He then stole their treasure and hid it in a remote island bay, saying there'd be small hope anyone would ever find it.
Today, Small Hope Bay is still a haven for adventurers, explorers and treasure hunters in search of more than just gold.
Emerald Palms | Andros, The Bahamas
This stunning 10 acre property in Andros had previously been operating as a beachfront resort. The world’s third largest barrier reef is several hundred yards east of the Emerald Palms beachfront. The island is an eco-tourism gem with fly fishing (particularly bonefishing), exploring blue holes, scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, and kayaking being particularly popular”.
Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas being 2200 sq. miles and is over 40% of the Bahamas land mass. Emerald Palms is four miles from the Congo Town airport which is 63 miles from Nassau and 198 miles from Miami.
The property is currently closed and in need of rehabilitation, but has enormous potential to tie in with a larger resort or to be a small boutique resort.
It consists of 20 hotel rooms (2 presently being used as a conference room) 22 separate villas of which 13 are one bedroom and 9 are two bedroom villas. There is an outdoor pool, restaurant and bar, spa, laundry and staff building as well as a storage building.
The property is very private and sits back from acres of sandy white beach and turquoise waters. A unique opportunity.
Main building ( restaurant /bar) 5,200 sq. ft.
20 hotel room 13,100 sq. ft. under roof
9 two bed villas 1,160 sq. ft.
13 1 bed villas 1,080 sq. ft.
Pool/bar 540 sq. ft.
Spa 510 sq. ft.
Laundry/staff building 850 sq. ft.

Small Hope Bay- Creatures of the Andros Barrier Reef
After a dive, most divers gather around and discuss their sightings at the surface. Identifying marine species and sharing knowledge with one another. For some divers this is the highlight of their dives. Here is a brief educational video of what you may see if you decide to book a vacation at Small Hope Bay Lodge. Come and dive with us on the Andros Barrier Reef. smallhope.com

Andros, Bahamas - Caribbean´s biggest secret from the air
We visited the island of Andros. This is the largest and most isolated island of the Bahamas. Here we filmed with drones for over 1 week finding the most untouched and beautiful landscapes of the island.
Our highlight for the trip was the West Side National Park. Here nature is raw and landscapes are priceless.
Other places we visited were blue holes, ship wrecks and natural flora and fauna. Andros is paradise on earth.

TIAMO South Andros: Bahamas Best Kept Secret ♥ SLH Luxury Resort
Highlights of our stay at Tiamo Resort, a member of Small Luxury Hotels, nestled on an unspoiled stretch of sand on the south shore of Andros Island (The Bahamas). This private hideaway with just 13 beach cottages (mostly with private pools) is only accessible by boat or water plane and certainly gets you away from it all.
We absolutely loved our time there. Wilfried Vincent, the fabulous General Manager of boutique-like Tiamo Resort, takes great care of every guest, no matter if they came for world-class bone fishing or the romantic Carribean holiday of your lifetime! Fine dining is a big thing and obviously snorkeling and diving are of outstanding quality with the world's 3rd largest barrier reef just a stonethrow away. Tiamo Resort is a piece of paradise and South Andros remained one of the best kept secrets of the Bahamian Out Islands! #tiamoresort #bahamas

Taking dirt bikes to Andros in the Bahamas
We had been talking about it for years and when the opportunity arose we decided it could not wait any longer. Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas and sparsely populated making it ideal for dirt biking. Turns out it was even better than expected.
