lissful, serene and elegant, Caerula Mar Club on South Andros, in the Bahamas, is the perfect escape from reality. Surrounded by lush vegetation, Caerula Mar offers views of the ocean and the stunning natural beauty of the Bahamas. The accommodations are sleek and crisp, yet sumptuous. Rooms are awash in calming white and neutrals, and the walls are decorated with enlarged vintage black-and-white photos of locals. The husband-andwife owners, Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, created this serene oasis after accidentally coming upon South Andros during a boating trip in the Caribbean in 2017. Theirs was the first new hotel to open on this unblemished island in nearly 20 years. The hotel sits on ten secluded acres along the eastern shore of South Andros, which is one of several islands in the Andros archipelago, the largest island group in the Bahamas. South Andros is home to extraordinary marine life. The property highlights the natural wonder of this dream spot and has created
areas for yoga and meditation and offers adventures that include sailing, snorkeling, diving, cruising, and fishing. During a sunset cruise you can be sure to spot dolphins and turtles. Steps from your room or villa is a gorgeous pool that offers up beautiful views of the sea. After a swim, head to the white sand beach, which is never crowded. In fact, you may find yourself the only one on it throughout the day. The cuisine is also outstanding. Three gourmet dining concepts range from a whimsical café and smoothie bar to Caribbean-inspired fine dining. Enjoy lunch and a refreshing afternoon cocktail poolside at Driff ’s Beach Bar. Lusca, the resort’s fine dining option is headed by the Argentine chef Sebastian Perez and has a new and delicious menu every night. Caerula Mar Club is truly the epitome of barefoot luxury.
