The Vision for Turtlegrass Resort
Founder’s Perspective
“The Exumas and Sampson Cay in particular are such unique and magnificent places. From the moment I encountered them, I wanted to provide an experience that truly embraces and celebrates the area’s natural splendor and the community and culture that live amongst it.”
