The Surf Club’s new history is built upon a significant statement of commitment and ambition — a future every bit as impressive as its storied past.
What unites these endeavors are their remarkable settings, a shared passion for quality, and an extraordinary ability to forge relationships with virtuosos
who believe in and respect the vision.
The Surf Club’s enduring appeal and success have always been rooted in a clear set of values: quality, design, passion, and relaxed precision.
An inherent alchemy defines its spirit — the ability to turn ordinary into the extraordinary.
Building on this premise, The Surf Club is expanding its legacy of exceptional hospitality and experiences into new territories.
Guided by a profound understanding of what it means to live well — brought to life through the masterful orchestration of place, design, and service,
with excellence as its driving force —
The Surf Club now embarks on its first outpost beyond Surfside: Norman’s Cay, Exumas, The Bahamas.

Yacht Club
The Norman’s Cay Yacht Club sits on the highest point of the island: a beacon for all visitors to gather and experience 360° views of the waters surrounding the cay. Here one can enjoy drinks, dining, entertainment, and be spellbound by the island spirit. The openness of the club is quite literally sensational: open-aired with bamboo-lined walls that frame the green foliage and blue waters, furniture upholstered with corals and native sea grapes. Follow the coral stone stairs up to the terrace and start with a seat at the bar, hand-painted with geometric tiles that recall the Bahamian flag.
Beach Club
The Beach Club sits on the eastern shore of the island, on a corner shaded by canopies of casuarina pines. Here where the land meets the beach, the soft swells invite guests to swim ashore and stop for a bite or a drink at the mosaic bar nestled between the trees. Crafted from Murano glass tiles, the bar portrays an undersea vision of coral and marine life in verdant and sunny colors, inviting guests to discover this casual outpost at the water’s edge
Macduff’s
MacDuff’s is an open-air restaurant and bar serving Sands beer and a cheeseburger that even Jimmy Buffet could admire. It is the original bed, breakfast, and “club,” as longtime residents affectionately remember it, with a rustic atmosphere that makes every guest feel as if they’ve been visiting for years. It’s the obvious choice for a casual bite or a signature island cocktail, a Bahamian outpost tucked right behind the airport, walking distance from the Marina, and steps away from the serene beaches of MacDuff’s Cottages.
Experiences
A trip to Norman’s is incomplete without an exploration of all the cay has to offer. The Exuma island chain is known for its legendary Caribbean waters and the cerulean shallows of the Bahama banks, so starting with a boat excursion is always a good idea.
Explore the open ocean for deep-sea fishing or stay close and snorkel the sunken airplane with the resident schools of fish. Whether you are looking to go diving, paddleboarding, windsurfing, or kayaking, the cay’s waters and surrounding islands offer the ideal playground and discovery zone.
The Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park is also just a short boat ride away, a marine reserve teeming with life from the mangrove communities and sea turtles to the “Washing Machine,” an oceanic swirl caused by tidal currents like nature’s own lazy river.
Although the hype of the cay is often all things water-based, guests should not forget to enjoy a curated picnic, an evening bonfire, or the extraordinary stargazing.
