Emerald Palms is more than a retreat for fishermen, divers, nature lovers or honeymooners. It is a treasure. The quaint resort is a peaceful and tropical paradise with white sand beaches located on the eastern shore of South Andros. Boasting 18 club rooms and 22 villas all tastefully accommodated, guests can relax in absolute comfort in the privacy of the rooms or unwind in a warm bath drawn in the Jacuzzi spa tub in a villa, or take in spectacular views of dazzling sunrises and pink-purple sunsets.

All villas offer in-room Jacuzzi tubs, private verandas and kitchenettes. Additionally, all guests enjoy complimentary use of snorkel gear, sea kayaks and bicycles. Additional features include daily continental breakfast, a conference centre and a swimming pool. Activities revolve around nature's generous South Andros bounty and the resort is carefully integrated into the island's environment. Outdoor activities include boating, kayaking, diving, snorkeling, deep sea, flats and reef fishing, blue hole tours, island tours, biking or just exploring the island.

Emerald Palms is the only resort within swimming distance of the world's third largest great barrier reef (just one mile offshore), the only such reef in the Western Hemisphere and the healthiest of all three. It is a diver's and snorkeler's haven, a fisherman's delight. That is why "Facts of Fishing" on the World Fishing Network chose the flats of South Andros for their 2009 series and the deep water off Emerald Palms for their show.
