New Bahamian Disney destination
A NEW Disney Cruise Line island destination at Lighthouse Point in the Bahamas will welcome guests in the northern summer of 2024.
The one-of-a-kind island experience will combine natural beauty with the magic of Bahamian hospitality, storytelling, and artistry.
Located on the island of Eleuthera, the destination has been created in close collaboration with local artists and advisors.
When guests arrive at Lighthouse Point, they’ll be greeted by distinctive, sweeping architecture in bright, saturated hues, and curvilinear buildings appearing as Bahamian shells scattered along the shoreline.
Guests can relax and play along white sandy beaches and turquoise waters at the expansive family beach on the east side of the island, which will be centrally located near market-style dining, recreation and other amenities.
A brightly coloured, interactive water play area will include two slides, water drums, fountains and more, along with a dedicated space for toddlers.
Additional recreational activities will be available for both kids and kids-at-heart, including a covered gaming pavilion, a volleyball court, a gaga ball pit, watercraft & bicycle rentals, nature trails for hiking & biking, and more.
Children aged three to 12 will splash and play under the care of highly-trained Disney counsellors at a themed kids’ club, which will include a splash pad inspired by favourite undersea creatures from The Little Mermaid, plenty of shade, and a dedicated dining district.
North of the family area will be an adult-exclusive beach
- a stretch of “sun-drenched serenity” complete with a dining area for convenient access to food and drinks throughout the day, plus six private cabanas available by reservation.
Respect for the environment is at the heart of Lighthouse Point’s design, with at least 90% of the destination’s electricity needs to be met by an on-site solar array.
The pier was designed to avoid the need for dredging, and elevated walkways will help limit impact on the landscape.
The vibrant island retreat will also be a unique celebration of Bahamian culture brought to life with the quality and service of a Disney vacation.
A Bahamian art and culture pavilion featuring special programs and local artists will provide visitors to Lighthouse Point opportunities to learn and celebrate the traditions and natural beauty of the country.
