I love getting to bring you all along on this journey. Almost five months since opening day and the love we’ve received has been overwhelming in the best way. Got to slow down for a minute and sit with Rodney at the beach club over a drink. Those are the moments that remind us why we took on this amazing project together. Thank you all for being a part of it. 🥂🏝️
Couldn’t do this without the right people. Rodney saw Blu Wakes clearly from day one, and watching his vision turn into something real has been incredible. From the early conversations, to the build, to now having our first rental guests come and go — it’s a really special feeling.
Proud of what we’ve created together and truly grateful for the partnership.
With the Baymahni Resort renovation complete, the question I keep getting is: what’s next?
I sat down with Rodney to talk through Phase Two and the introduction of our two-bedroom villas. Same care, same intention—just the next step forward.
Follow along as Phase Two begins.
I met Rodney Burrows two and a half years ago in Exuma. I rented a boat from him, learned he was in construction, and told him I was a real estate developer. Long story short, those conversations led to a partnership, and together we brought Baymahni to life on Stocking Island. 🏝️
None of this would be possible without Rodney. His decades of experience building private cays in The Exumas, and his unwavering commitment, are the reason this project became a reality.
Proud to have Rodney as my partner, and grateful for what we are creating together. 🤝
Now it’s time to grab a Goombay Smash and get back to work. 🍹
I’ve waited a long time to say this… welcome to Baymahni. 🌴
We are officially open, and experiencing this resort come to life has been nothing short of incredible. Over the past 14 months, I’ve watched this vision turn into reality, and seeing every detail finally come together is surreal. But what makes this place truly special isn’t just the views… it’s the people.
I want to give a heartfelt thank-you to my partner, Rodney Burrows. What we’ve built together on this island would not have been possible without Burrows Developers craftsmanship, leadership, and heart for this community. I’m honored to have worked side-by-side with Rodney to bring this resort to life.
And to our hospitality team Brian from @luxhospitalitybahamas , Andrea, Avery, and every staff member who pours their energy, pride, and culture into this experience… thank you. Opening week has shown me just how powerful your passion is. The smiles, the warmth, the genuine care… our guests feel it the moment they arrive. That’s what makes Baymahni different.
Two years ago, I fell in love with Exuma and with this resort on Stocking Island. Today, I’m grateful beyond words to finally share it with you. The sense of awe I felt on day one is the same feeling I still get every time I step onto this island.
I hope to see you all at Baymahni very soon.🇧🇸
Honored to work with Rodney Burrows in Exuma. Together, we make a great team and are making tremendous progress on our first 2 new construction homes currently being built at Hooper’s Bay.
