HGTV’s Island of Bryan broke network records as being one the most-watched shows on the network in over 10 years. The show chronicles the couple's rebuild and restoration of Careula Mar Club, a beachfront resort in the Bahamas on the serene island of South Andros. The property opened to guests this November and season two of Island of Bryan which premieres on February 23rd will continue to follow the couple and their family's journey as they continue to develop this Bahamian paradise.
We predict Careula Mar Club will be one of 2020’s most exclusive destinations and spoke to Bryan and Sarah about the property and what makes it the ultimate spot for romantic travel.
Clean and beautiful island-inspired decor prevails throughout Caerula Mar Club.Can you describe the vibe Caerula Mar Club and why it’s a perfect romantic destination? Bryan & Sarah Baeumler: “Caerula Mar Club defines the idea of barefoot luxury. It is contemporary, yet relaxed, with open, airy spaces, lots of light, and natural tones. From the layout of each suite and villa with their hand-selected decor, we wanted to ensure all details throughout the resort compliment the natural beauty of the island. The seclusion of South Andros makes couples feel as if they’re in their own little corner of the world—perfect for intimate wedding ceremonies and ultra-relaxing honeymoons. Driffs Bar & Lounge is a great spot for bridal parties to gather for cocktails and catch one of the island’s incredible sunsets, while our honeymoon suite features touches like soft white oak floors, aged marble stone, and windows that frame unobstructed ocean views. Caerula Mar is designed for couples to step away from the chaos of life back home and step into a world of luxury, relaxation and privacy. Guests can literally feel their cares slip away as the beauty and serenity of the island take hold from the moment they arrive.”
The island of Andros is a bit of unspoiled beauty in the Bahamas. What makes this island magical and why will couples fall in love with it? BB & SB: “South Andros exudes a quiet charm you can’t find anywhere else. Between the untouched powder-white sands, vibrant blue ocean, and endless natural wonders to explore, Andros reminds us how magical unspoiled nature can be. It's the largest Bahamian island, but least inhabited, and also happens to have the world’s third largest barrier reef. Couples who visit can enjoy the best beauty of the Bahamas without the crowds, unparalleled diving & snorkeling, and friendly locals, not to mention, a gorgeous location that helps our guests connect with nature. “
