OUR STORY

The Pearl Island Story

Located just eight miles from Nassau and one mile east of Paradise Island, Pearl Island is known for its warm, crystal-clear waters, stunning natural beauty, white-sand beaches, and its iconic Lighthouse!

The Vision

The vision for Pearl Island Bahamas was to create a unique Caribbean getaway - a Dream Island filled with tropical flair, art, culture, and music for locals and visitors alike.

Our goal was to create an unrelenting commitment to quality, service, and hospitality by going above and beyond the needs and wants of our guests.

Pearl Island Bahamas is also committed to minimize the impact of its activities on the environment by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.

The Wildlife at Pearl Island

Pearl Island is a year-round home for several unique species. Get to know some of our friendly island neighbors – curly-tailed lizards, hermit crabs, Antillian nighthawks - and fascinating marine life during your stay.

At Pearl Island you'll get to experience all numbers and types of fish and marine life. Beside corals you will see fishes. If you are lucky you might have the chance to see sting rays and small reef sharks.

MARINE LIFE
Our Land Hermit Crabs live close to the Pearl Island shoreline and must have access to both land and water. They are protected by a salvaged empty seashell, into which their whole body can retract.

HERMIT CRAB
This nighthawk is a common nesting bird on Pearl Island. The Antillean nighthawk makes a very unique “killy-ka-dick” and “chitty chit” call that it often repeats a few times during territorial and courtship display flights. Look out for it.

ANTILLEAN NIGHTHAWK
The curly tailed lizards are medium sized lizards averaging about 3 – 7 inches from snout to vent. The most characteristic feature of these lizards is their tail which curls over their back and lends the lizard its name.
