Montage Cay - A Private Island Retreat in The Abacos, Bahamas

A Private Island Sanctuary in The Abacos

Located in the Sea of Abaco, just minutes by boat from Marsh Harbour and Hope Town, Montage Cay offers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining easily accessible from the United States. Less than a 60-minute flight from Miami, the island provides a secluded escape where nature, privacy and effortless island living come together. Spread across 53 acres of lush tropical landscape, the private cay is surrounded by crystalline waters, white-sand beaches and the unique beauty of The Abacos, one of The Bahamas’ most celebrated island destinations. Known for its calm seas, vibrant marine life and relaxed atmosphere, the region offers an authentic alternative to more traditional Caribbean escapes. Designed as a place where guests can reconnect with the rhythm of island life, Montage Cay will offer a rare combination of barefoot elegance, refined hospitality and complete privacy.

A New Expression of Private Island Luxury

Developed as Montage Hotels & Resorts’ first private island resort destination, Montage Cay introduces a new model of luxury hospitality where resort living and residential ownership coexist. The resort will feature a 50-suite Montage Inn, including overwater accommodations, alongside a collection of 47 private residences positioned throughout the island’s natural surroundings. These residences will include villas, cottages and estate homes designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living and the beauty of the Caribbean environment. Rather than creating a traditional resort experience, Montage Cay focuses on a more intimate approach to luxury, where personalized service, privacy and a deep connection to nature define every moment.

Architecture Inspired by the Natural Beauty of The Bahamas

The design philosophy of Montage Cay centers around preserving the island’s natural character while creating sophisticated spaces that celebrate contemporary Bahamian living. Architecture and landscape planning have been carefully developed to integrate with the surrounding environment, allowing the tropical vegetation, ocean views and shoreline landscapes to remain at the heart of the experience. The residences and resort spaces are designed around a seamless relationship between indoors and outdoors, with generous living areas, natural materials and a relaxed aesthetic inspired by the colors, textures and atmosphere of The Bahamas. From private beachfront settings to elevated ocean views, every space has been imagined as a peaceful retreat connected to the rhythm of the sea.

An Exclusive Collection of Suites and Private Residences

Montage Cay will offer a limited collection of accommodations designed for travelers seeking space, comfort and absolute privacy. The 50-suite Montage Inn will provide an intimate resort experience, including unique suite-style accommodations designed to capture the beauty of the island setting. Selected accommodations will feature direct connections to the water, creating a rare opportunity to experience Caribbean living surrounded by turquoise seas. Beyond the resort, the 47 Montage Residences will offer a more permanent expression of island living. Located across different areas of the cay, the collection includes Marina Villas, Shore Cottages and Estate Residences, each designed around privacy, outdoor living and panoramic views.

Dining, Wellness and Island Experiences

Montage Cay will offer a collection of dining and lifestyle experiences designed around the relaxed elegance of island living. Guests will have access to multiple restaurants and bars, including all-day dining, a signature dinner-only restaurant, beach bars, poolside venues and wellness-focused offerings. The island will also feature Spa Montage, offering wellness experiences inspired by the natural surroundings, alongside fitness programming and opportunities for relaxation. Outdoor experiences will play a central role, with water sports, marine exploration and access to the exceptional underwater world of The Bahamas. With seven beaches, pristine waters and a private marina, Montage Cay will invite guests to experience the destination at their own pace, whether sailing through The Abacos, exploring coral reefs or simply enjoying the serenity of a private island.

A New Icon of Caribbean Hospitality

With its untouched setting, intimate scale and commitment to exceptional service, Montage Cay is set to become one of the Caribbean’s most anticipated new luxury destinations. Blending the natural beauty of The Bahamas with Montage’s signature approach to hospitality, the resort offers a new interpretation of private island living—one defined by authenticity, elegance and a profound connection to the sea. More than a resort, Montage Cay represents a new way of experiencing The Bahamas: private yet welcoming, sophisticated yet effortless, and deeply connected to the beauty of its surroundings.
