The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Tiamo Resort is a 125-acre off-grid eco-luxury hideaway on a remote stretch of South Andros — accessible only by boat, powered by solar, with just 11 standalone beachfront bungalows on a long, deserted white-sand beach. The combination of true seclusion, sustainable luxury, and the proximity of Andros's barrier reef and blue holes makes Tiamo one of the Bahamas' most distinctive honeymoon hotels for couples who want to genuinely disconnect.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
Tiamo's 11 standalone bungalows are spread along the beach with significant space between them — every room is a private beachfront cottage with outdoor shower, hammock terrace, and direct sand access. The two new Beach Houses are larger and the most romantic for honeymooners. Bungalow 1 and 11 at the ends of the beach are the most secluded. There are no televisions and Wi-Fi is intentionally limited — the disconnection is part of the design.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival via Congo Town
Fly to South Andros (Congo Town airport) from Nassau or Fort Lauderdale, then a 25-minute boat transfer with Tiamo's staff to the resort's private beach landing — there is no road access. Settle into your beachfront bungalow, walk the long empty beach, swim in the calm channel water. First dinner at the open-air Great House — fresh seafood and locally grown produce.
Reef Snorkeling
The world's third-largest barrier reef lies just offshore from Tiamo. A morning snorkeling trip to the reef edge — extraordinary visibility, abundant coral, parrotfish, sea turtles, and occasional reef sharks. Lunch back at the resort, afternoon nap in the bungalow hammock. Sunset cocktails on the beach with the staff's signature rum punch.
Andros Blue Holes
Andros has the world's highest concentration of blue holes — vertical underwater caves carved through limestone. A guided trip to inland blue holes (a short boat-and-truck transfer) for swimming in the eerily clear, deep freshwater pools. Stop for fresh-cracked conch salad at a local fisherman's stand on the way back.
Spa & Beach Day
Morning at Tiamo's open-air beach spa — a couples treatment in a thatched cabana with the sound of the surf. Afternoon on the beach with the resort's hammocks and chairs spread along three miles of empty sand. The resort runs a complimentary kayak and paddleboard program — perfect for an afternoon glide along the calm channel.
Bonefishing Adventure
South Andros is the world's bonefishing capital — vast shallow flats and deep mangrove creeks teeming with fast-running silver bonefish. A half-day with a Tiamo guide on a flats skiff is a quintessential Andros experience, even for non-anglers — the wildlife and the surreal aquamarine flats are reason enough. Lunch picnic on a deserted cay.
Wild Beach Walk & Junkanoo Night
Morning walk along the full length of Tiamo's beach to the unnamed offshore cays. Lunch on the beach. If your visit aligns with a Boxing Day or New Year, Junkanoo drumming festivities reach even South Andros — otherwise, the staff often plays Junkanoo music after dinner around the bonfire on the beach.
Final Reef Swim & Departure
A final morning snorkel at the house reef, breakfast at the Great House, and the boat transfer back to Congo Town for the connection through Nassau. Tiamo's specific magic — the off-grid stillness, the deserted beach, the lack of any other resort or village in sight — is hard to find anywhere else in the Caribbean.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Tiamo is genuinely remote — boat-access only, no road, limited Wi-Fi, no televisions; couples needing constant connectivity or significant off-property options should look elsewhere.
South Andros has very little outside the resort — no nearby restaurants, no shopping, no nightlife; couples must commit to the resort experience for the full stay.
Travel logistics involve a connection through Nassau or Fort Lauderdale and a boat transfer — total journey from US East Coast cities is 6 to 9 hours.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Good for honeymooners?
Tiamo is one of the Caribbean's most romantic honeymoon hotels — the genuine seclusion, the standalone beach bungalows, the 125-acre private property, the off-grid sustainability, and the deserted three-mile beach create a true honeymoon-island experience for couples who want to fully disconnect.
Best time to visit?
November through May is the dry season. December through April is peak. South Andros is largely outside the typical hurricane track but August through October are the deepest hurricane months. March through May offers the best combination of weather and reef visibility.
Book in advance?
With only 11 bungalows, Tiamo books out 4 to 8 months ahead for peak season. The new Beach Houses and the end-of-beach bungalows (1 and 11) are the first to fill. Christmas and New Year often book a year ahead.
Adults-only?
Tiamo is not strictly adults-only but only accepts children over 12, and the off-grid character and remote location mean the property is heavily honeymoon and adult-couple oriented in practice. The atmosphere is consistently romantic.
Best room type?
The new Beach Houses are the most romantic — larger spaces with extended outdoor living. End-bungalows 1 and 11 offer maximum seclusion. All 11 standalone units share the same direct-beach access and outdoor shower character.
How to get there?
Congo Town airport on South Andros is the gateway — connections through Nassau (35-minute flight) or direct seasonal flights from Fort Lauderdale. Tiamo's boat transfer takes 25 minutes from the airport dock. The resort coordinates everything from arrival.
