Montage Cay
A fifty-three-acre Abaco cay announced for Montage, with seven beaches and a marina.
Montage Cay lies in the Sea of Abaco in the northern Bahamas, reached by boat from Marsh Harbour or by air to a nearby strip. The cay runs to about fifty-three acres with seven beaches, and it has been announced as the first island resort for the American group Montage. The Abacos are sailing water rather than diving water, and the marina is central to the plan.
The published plan runs to around fifty suites and overwater bungalows plus private residences, with a marina of around forty-seven slips. Opening has been stated for the second half of the decade. Nothing is verified on the ground, and figures may change before completion.
Seven beaches on fifty-three acres. The cay's shape rather than its size is the asset, and it is what allows a resort to feel dispersed on a small island.
A marina at the centre. In the Abacos the boat is the point, and a forty-seven-slip harbour will define this property's guests more than the room count.
Who it is not for
Montage Cay is wrong for anyone planning travel before opening is confirmed. It is wrong for guests who want an operating record and reviews. And it is wrong for travellers seeking diving, since the Abacos are shallow sailing water. And it is wrong for anyone treating the announced opening as a commitment, which island projects rarely honour. Those wanting the Bahamas now should look at Kamalame Cay or Fowl Cay.
