CAT ISLAND, BAHAMAS | GREENWOOD BEACH RESORT
THE RESORT
LOCATION
Located at one of the most southern points of Cat Island, Greenwood Beach Resort is perfect for those in search of adventure! With over 8 miles of deserted beach to enjoy (side note: the traditional Bahamian "white" sand beaches are actually a rare shade of pink here!), this intimate resort provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy a variety of fun activities including kiteboarding, as well as hiking and diving excursions. (Read More Below).
THE ACTIVITIES
I decided to go snorkeling myself, for which the resort's lovely instructor Antoine took me to a nearby bay by boat, where we enjoyed the beauty of Bahamian ocean life (we even got to see a baby mantra!), before heading back to Greenwood, where he handpicked a coconut (yes, he climbed a tree himself to get it), after which he opened it with a machete.
FOOD & ACCOMMODATION
Starting at $135/night, the Resort offers 16 colorful cottages that provide a heaven of tranquility to its guests, and are all complete with beautiful views on the palmtree-clad scenery. Enjoy the local food (especially the conk salad), and sip on a cocktail while watching the breathtaking sunset on their ocean-view terrace, or hang out by their sea-side pool!
THE INSPIRATION
The Bahamian palette is simply breathtaking, and I could not get enough of the gorgeous palmtrees. So I made sure to find a little spot near the ocean where I could enjoy theses magnificent trees and sketch them at sunset.
SEE YOU SOON!
A special thanks to Pauline and Antoine (the wonderful couple who runs this resort), for the one-of-a-kind experience - can't wit to be back!
With love,

It was hard to contain my excitement while walking through the streets of Le Marais, eager to capture the beauty of the century old cobblestone streets on my way to the musée Carnavalet.
