Some places you visit. This one you inhabit.

Woodstar is a private compound on Little Exuma, taken whole by one party at a time — your family, your friends, your pace. One acre of beachfront inside a national park, a thousand feet of sand to the nearest anyone, on water so clear the sky gets jealous.

Everything was built for the long afternoon: a veranda that holds dinner past midnight, a pool at exactly drink-holding depth, a coconut grove for dessert. The rest of the world can wait offshore — you're crossing away from it right now.

The water decides everything here

Moriah Harbour Cay National Park begins, more or less, at your towel — 23,000 acres of reef, dune, mangrove and seagrass, and a private cove where the only footprints are yours.

Land, ho.

That's Woodstar below — the real thing, from the drone. From here, we descend.

Down the coastline

White sand on your left, the bush on your right — the roofs appear where the palms thicken.

The bird that never leaves

The Bahama Woodstar is a hummingbird found nowhere else on earth — and unlike nearly every bird you know, it does not migrate. It keeps to itself, avoids the crowd, and stays. When home is the Exumas, where exactly would you go?

It led your crossing. It will be here when you arrive for real.

Everything you could want is already here. The rest can wait offshore.

Shawn & D'Angelo

The two people who make Woodstar a homecoming. Shawn runs the house the way only a house mother can; D'Angelo keeps the grounds immaculate — and as a skilled spear fisher, he'll point you toward your own lobster in the bay.
