Grand Isle Resort & Spa is located in Emerald Bay on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas. Great Exuma is the largest island of 365 cays that comprise the Exuma chain. Great Exuma has always been the best-kept secret of savvy tropical vacationers. In years past it was typically a bit harder to get to but the pleasant year-round weather, turquoise water and easy island feeling made the extra effort worth it. Today, many airlines fly direct to Great Exuma from major U.S. hubs which make connections from anywhere in the North America and Europe relatively easy.
