"Getting to Kamalame Cay, a private island resort off of Andros Great Barrier Reef, takes a bit of time—you'll fly into Andros, then take a taxi to the port, and then finally a short boat ride to the hotel entrance. But the payoff is evident as soon as you step onto the deck and take in the lush island, with its welcoming Great House, beautifully designed pool area, and calm beaches. All guests of the resort stay in standalone bungalows, which makes it feel even more like you're at your own private island retreat. Each bungalow has a deck—most with direct beach access—as well as its own golf cart and bikes for exploring the 96-acre island. And every morning, breakfast is delivered in a wicker basket, with treats from fresh fruit and juice to house-made pastries and hard-boiled eggs. And while the food at most Caribbean resorts is nothing to write home about, Kamalame stands out in the care it takes in its food, with rotating dishes like ceviche, seafood salads, crab-stuffed avocado, and Bahamian curry. Look to sample some it during the laidback, wine-soaked lunches thrown by David and Michael King-Hew." - Ann Abel
