Overview
Most Nassau beach days mean crowds and shared loungers. This is the opposite: Your cabana is yours alone — a private, shaded ocean-view base reserved just for your group, where a personal server looks after you all day, keeping the drinks coming and bringing a freshly cooked Bahamian lunch right to your loungers. No queues, no sharing, no rush.
When you do feel like moving, the island is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Swim out with a guide to a vivid coral reef alive with tropical fish, glide along the shoreline by kayak or paddleboard, cool off on the water mats or wander between two quiet white-sand beaches. Climb Pearl Island's iconic lighthouse for panoramic views over the turquoise harbour, then head straight back to the comfort of your cabana.
It's the calm, premium way to experience the Bahamas — the only private island a short ferry ride from Nassau, just minutes from the cruise port, with an exclusivity the big group excursions simply can't match.

PRIVATE. OCEAN VIEW. YOUR ISLAND. YOUR RULES.
The Pearl Island Private Cabana is Nassau's most exclusive group day experience — your own ocean-view cabana, a dedicated personal server and a full all-day drink package, exclusively for your group of up to 6. A quick boat ride from Nassau across the turquoise harbour brings you to your private base: comfortable loungers, your server on hand and a cold drink waiting.
EXPLORE THE ISLAND
Stroll two white-sand beaches and climb the iconic lighthouse for panoramic seascape views. Dip into the warm, crystal-clear water whenever you please or grab a kayak/ paddleboard.
SNORKEL A LIVING REEF
Mask on, swim out with your instructor to vivid coral reefs teeming with marine life — watch for stingrays and small reef sharks gliding through the coral.
LUNCH AT YOUR CABANA
No need to leave your lounger — your server brings a traditional Bahamian lunch right to you: BBQ chicken, fish fingers, peas, rice and plantains. Pearl Island is Nassau's most exclusive private-island experience — minutes from the Cruise Port and a premium alternative to Blue Lagoon, Balmoral, Rose and Paradise Island.
