South Andros Island:
The Authentic Bahamas Vacation Experience.

South Andros Island is the authentic Bahamas vacation experience of yore, and home to Tiamo Resorts. Virtually untouched by time, this Caribbean paradise harkens back the golden age of travel.

There is still a place that holds the charm and intrigue from the golden days of travel, rich with history, authentic native culture and a touch of nostalgia. In today’s fast-paced and competitive travel and tourism industry, vacationers have come to expect the next big mega resort, complete with a themed water park, casinos and crowded beaches. At Tiamo on South Andros Island, expect the unexpected.

Andros Island is the largest of the Bahamian Islands, and yet the least commercially developed. This virtually untouched archipelago of sand and sea is home to an incredibly diverse collection of wildlife waiting to be discovered by travelers searching for something else—an alternative Caribbean vacation. Andros Island is divided by the North Bight in the north and the South Bight in the south, requiring travel by boat or plane between three distinct landmasses.

With its wide open beaches and quaint, colorful settlements that line the east coast of the island, Andros has only 8,000 inhabitants, most of which live in North Andros. Sparsely populated, around 1,200, South Andros Island is home to some of the most charming and friendly people on earth, eager to welcome you into their shops or offer a neighborly wave and friendly smile. There’s an offbeat vibe that can only be explained by those who have experienced this special place, and you’ll find yourself wandering back year after year as most of our guests do.

South Andros Island is the quintessential romantic, Caribbean island hideaway — a place for lovers, a place for friends and family to reconnect and discover their “vacation selves”. You don’t have to travel far to find this Bahamian Out Island refuge. South Andros is less than 200 nautical miles from US shores, a short and scenic flight.

Once here, you’ll find that there is something to do for everyone. The warm and gin-clear waters provide for excellent snorkeling along the Andros Barrier Reef or at one of the remarkable Blue Holes, which are fresh water sub aqueous caves teeming with diverse sea life. Landlubbers can explore South Andros Island’s rich ecosystem of land creatures, including land crabs, iguanas, and over 300 species of birds, not to mention, incredibly diverse plant life with over 40 species of orchids. Take a down-island excursion and discover quaint straw market shops, local watering holes and charming eateries.

You’ll make new friends, discover natural marvels and make memories you’ll take with you for a lifetime. Not much has changed here in the past 50 years and it will stay pretty much the same when you come back the next time. South Andros Island is like no other place and from another time.
