Norman’s Cay

Norman’s Cay, a small island at the northern end of the Exuma chain in The Bahamas, is overlaid with histories. A coral atoll with natural beauty and protected anchorage that made it a longtime favorite for all kinds of residents, from British outposts in the Age of Imperialism to twentieth-century fisherfolk; from one notorious cartel leader to modern adventurers and sailors.

The cay, eponymously named after a pirate, has been described as a horseshoe or a fish hook, curving into the shape of a dolphin or ending in the tip of a whale’s tail. The ocean wraps the coastline in dynamic tides, bearing sandy shores and craggy peaks, with beaches that extend in layers from the aqua shallows and turquoise ribbons to the tyrian Atlantic depths.

Before Fort Partners, the sleepy island housed just twelve private homes. With new development came opportunities for innovation, and in the characteristic fashion of the firm, life on the island has been rejuvenated through careful curation and collaborations with exceptional design talents. The result is a magnification of the cay’s enduring beauty and a vibrancy of life and design that follows in the fantastic and romantic tradition of residential splendor in The Bahamas.

For the first time, The Surf Club extends its tradition of exceptional hospitality beyond Surfside, inaugurating an outpost at Norman’s Cay. Here, followers of The Surf Club will find a familiar commitment to the art of living well across the Island’s Villas, Bungalows, and Cabanas, and gathering spaces including the Yacht Club and Beach Club.
