Andros Island: Rich with History and Culture

Although the pirates that once used the secluded waterways of Andros Island in the Bahamas Out Islands as hideouts are long gone, the mystery remains.

Roughly the size of Puerto Rico, Andros has a population of only 8,000 individuals, the majority of who live in the northern part of the island. The Southern Part of the Island, South Andros Island, has around 1,200.   Tiamo, located on South Andros Island is situated along The South Bight, its remote location means it is accessible only by boat. Within view of your private beach bungalow is an abundance of pristine natural treasures, including the third largest barrier reef in the world, mangrove ecosystems, deserted beaches, legendary Blue Holes, and more. While it’s easy for our guests to imagine they are thousands of miles removed from their everyday lives, Tiamo is less than 200 miles from cosmopolitan Miami!

Andros is a haven for travelers looking for a truly unique Bahamas vacation. The area around our secluded Caribbean beach resort features an undeveloped beauty that is unparalleled in the rest of the Caribbean. Andros is also a haven for outdoor recreation. The island is known as the bonefishing capital of the world, its miles of unexplored mudflats provide for some of the best fly fishing on the planet. The average year-round 80°F temperature provides for excellent diving and snorkeling along the Andros Barrier Reef or at one of the stunning Blue Holes, or for enchanting sailing or kayaking voyages of discovery. The diverse terrestrial ecosystems surrounding Tiamo are full of life, some of the species can be found only on Andros Island. Over forty kinds of wild orchids, rare birds, wild boar and four-foot iguanas all inhabit our island and our hiking trails let you see these wonderful sights. It is even said to be the home of pirate Henry Morgan's buried treasure and two mythical creatures- the chickcharnies and Lusca.
