EXUMA, The Bahamas – Royal Plantation At Fowl Cay, Exumas, now the official name of the 50-acre private island, luxury retreat situated midway down the Exuma chain in the Bahamas, represents the latest chapter in Sandals Resorts’ expansion plans for its Royal Plantation brand.
The resort’s Web site at www.fowlcay.com went live on Sept. 6; the property is accepting reservations for all dates. Fowl Cay was purchased last April from an American couple by Sandals’ Chairman Gordon Butch Stewart, after he and his family vacationed there.
The six two- and-three-bedroom villas on the site were built five years ago by the previous owners and will be supplemented by another “10 to 15 villas, half of which will be over-the-water structures,” according to Adam Stewart, CEO of Sandals Resorts.
Three of the new villas will have four or more bedrooms and baths; the property is an all-inclusive resort and will offer its private butler services, available in its highest category rooms now at many of the Sandals and Beaches resorts. (Travel Weekly 9-11-07)
