Small Hope Bay Lodge Andros Bahamas. Since 1960. Small Hope Bay has been hosting scuba divers, nature lovers, & friends at our out island getaway in Andros Bahamas. Let us introduce you to this unique island, from dramatic scuba diving, the best snorkeling sites, world class bonefishing, & more. Unspoiled & virtually undiscovered. Andros Island, Bahamas is a world apart from the crowds.

The Small Hope Bay Lodge is an informal holiday resort located on Andros Island, Bahamas that focuses around the central lodge built of coral rock and Andros pine. Comfortable couches and throw-pillows create a friendly home-like atmosphere. The Lodge houses a dining area, lounge/bar area, game room and reading room. Our friendly relaxed atmosphere makes this NOT your typical Bahamas hotel.

There is also a small boutique on the premises, a separate building for office administration and guest services and a staffed laundry facility. There is an outdoor patio bar and dining area for summer-night barbecues.

There are no phones (phone/fax/internet for guest use in the office), no newspapers, and no TVs. Emphasis is on a natural environment with relaxing, low-impact lifestyle. There is no dress code -- bare feet, T-shirts, sarongs, anything (except neckties) is perfectly acceptable.

Get married on the beach in a simple ceremony by the sea. We'll arrange it all, plus a reception for up to forty of your closest friends. All you have to do is show up!

We'll build you an arch of flowers, and make head wreaths, anklets, corsages and bouquets using blooms from our nearby gardens. We will decorate our outdoor patio with colorful Androsia fabric, ferns, and flowers and let the sea provide its own magnificent backdrop.

We'll arrange the paper work and contact the appropriate officials to perform the ceremony. We'll host your reception, serving up tasty hors d'oeuvres of our island specialties: conch fritters, grouper fingers, curried chicken wings, and more. An elegant tropical-style wedding cake, and sparkling champagne complete the celebration, that usually rolls right into the dinner hour at Small Hope Bay Lodge.

We will capture the event on video, using your favorite CDs for music. We will also take your pictures. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the moment! You might even want to stick around for the honeymoon!
