FROM THE
LARIMAR MINE TO YOUR FINGERTIPS Larimar is a rare gem with a mysterious history that exists only in the Dominican
Republic.
Marahlago’s
commitment
to
excellence
means
that we use less than 1% of mined larimar for our designs. Since it is formed in the heart of a volcano, much of the natural larimar found contains flaws. Our craftsmen are trained to meticulously inspect and cut every stone to ensure they are free of inclusions, cracks, areas of discoloration, dullness
and
other
signs
of
low-grade
larimar.
Each
of
our
unique
designs bears the Marahlago trademark flower as our guarantee to you.

If it can survive being ejected from a plane, it can survive near enough anything. Should you treat your Bremont MB watch with respect? Not really. We don’t. We freeze it, we bake it, and we shake it. For hours on end. Then we shoot it out of a plane. Just to make sure it’s as tough as we claim it is. What’s more, it has been assembled and tested at our headquarters in Henley-on-Thames. So don’t worry about looking after a Bremont MB. It can look after itself.

Celebrated for his humanitarian efforts as much as his culinary abilities, Michelin starred Chef, José Andrés’ Fish menu serves to underscore The Cove’s commitment to flourishing Bahamian ecology and the protection of one of the nation’s most precious natural resources, the ocean. His menu highlights sustainable seafood and includes a signature dish of simply prepared, fried local lionfish – a species that while delicious, is having a negative impact on the health of the coral reefs of The Bahamas. Lionfish outlive, outeat and outbreed the majority of marine species, which affects the health of the ocean. Chef José Andrés, a fisherman and avid diver, is committed to eradicating this invasive species, so that coral reefs and the local marine life can continue to flourish. A portion of the cost of the lionfish entree will go directly to the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, the resort’s non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to saving marine species and their extraordinary habitats throughout The Bahamas.
