Emerald Bay, one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in The Bahamas, is about to get an injection of energy.
Great Exuma’s Grand Isle Resort and Spa is debuting a new beach club and restaurant, The 23 North Beach Club, on March 1.
The new eatery and lounge will mean a new way to stay on Emerald Bay’s sugar-white sands, including cabanas, day beds, lounge chairs and an indoor and outdoor bar and eatery.
Most notably, the club adds a second pool to the Grand Isle complex.
“We want 23 North to be a haven for guests looking to immerse themselves in exceptional luxury experience while also enjoying the natural beauty of the Caribbean,” said Lester Scott, Managing Director of Grand Isle Resort & Spa. “The resort is always looking for ways to enhance and uphold our high service standards, so we look forward to 23 North becoming one of Exuma’s most popular luxury beach club.”
The hotel said it would also provide sea plane arrivals to the beach club for its brunch experience, while boaters can dock their yachts at Emerald Bay’s marina.
And yes, it will be open for day passes for travelers staying elsewhere on the island.

The largest hotel company in Cuba has added another major new all-inclusive to its portfolio: the Melia Internacional in Cuba’s tourism hub of Varadero.
It’s a decidedly modern, innovative resort, immediately becoming perhaps the most striking design in Varadero.
That’s part of the plan for the 11-story property, which is a new level of luxury all-inclusive for Cuba — increasingly a haven for luxury development.
And it’s, unsurprisingly, a massive resort: there are 946 rooms and suites, from “classic” pool view rooms to the premier accommodations at the resort, the Level Penthouse Suite.
The new property, which also includes Melia’s premium Level and Level Adults-Only wings, has Melia’s signature broad range of amenities, from two buffet eateries to 16 bars to six themed eateries to a full-fledged convention center. (Three of those bars are for adults only).
Those amenities also include, perhaps most notably, free Wi-Fi, a serious plus in Cuba.
But the biggest amenity remains its perch on the world-famous Varadero beach, Cuba’s wide, white stretch of sand.
Varadero Beach.
That’s along with two main pools, a special Level-only pool, a kids’ pool and a splash pool, along with a pool at the property’s YHI Spa.
Level rooms come with an exclusive reception on an elevated floor; a VIP bar, three complimentary rounds of golf and 24-hour room service, among other features.
There are six themed eateries.
Melia now operates 34 resorts in Cuba across four brands: Melia, Sol, Paradisus and Tryp.
The new Melia Internacional is one of 11 Melia properties in the Varadero alone.

Puerto Rico’s San Juan Marriott Resort has a new look.
The property, set in the Condado area of San Juan, has completed a $20 million renovation project spearheaded by XLD Group.
The new look ranges from wood-look tile floors to new walk-in showers to new design accents and new balconies.
“Vibrantly colored decorations blend harmoniously with gray-shaded walls and draperies, while abundant natural light brings the whole setting alive before an amazing backdrop of fantastic tropical views,” the property said.
Each room includes new details like IPTV, wireless charging lamps for smart devices and optimized work devices.
The renovation, which involved 123 rooms and suites, also included Gingambo, the hotel’s signature eatery.
The Marriott has additionally renovated its Ocean Club Spa and Wellness Center.
