A Vision for Sustainable, High-End Tourism

Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari, expressed excitement about the project, emphasizing the Exumas’ growing reputation as a glamorous, high-end travel destination.

“We are thrilled to present such an extraordinary project, which will become not only the first Bvlgari Resort in the Caribbean but also a new point of reference for upscale travelers. We envision the Bvlgari Resort Cave Cay as the ultimate sustainable luxury destination in the region, crafted by the Roman jeweler of hospitality,” said Babin.

Investor Emile Haddad, Chairman of Cave Cay General Partner Ltd, highlighted the resort’s alignment with the Bahamas’ vision for sustainable development.
