THE BAEUMLERS’ FANTASY ISLAND BECOMES A REALITY

Say I do to the beautiful Caerula Mar Club in the Bahamas, where you can enjoy a private paradise

-

If you’ve been following Bryan and Sarah Baeumler’s hit reality show, Island of Bryan on HGTV, then you know their five-star resort, Caerula Mar in the Bahamas is completed. What you may not know is that you can rent it.

For $32,000/night, guests can rent the full six private villas, 18-suite resort, The price includes accommodat­ions for up to 56 guests. The news release they sent out says it includes” all meals and alcohol (except Champagne and cellar wines), non-motorized sports like kayaks, paddleboar­ds, and beach cruisers, and the coordinati­on of special events and celebratio­ns.” One of the first takers was a couple doing a wedding.

Spread across 10 acres of beach on The Sleeping Giant, Andros is the Bahamas’ largest, but least inhabited island. It’s home to the world’s third largest fringing barrier reef and blue-hole ocean caves where the mythical Lusca monster is rumoured to lurk in the deepest depths.

The island is flanked by 90-plus miles of beaches on one side and dense limestone and mangrove forest on the other. It has just one main road that many travel by bicycle, a busy dock where you can watch all kinds of local shipments come in, and mom & pop restaurant­s run by local fishermen where fresh fried conch is best enjoyed with a cool Kalik beer and endless views of blue. Not to mention excursions like blue-hole cave diving, bush medicine tours, private island picnics, and more.
