South Andros

Tiamo Resort

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Eco-chic Tiamo Resort ups the luxe factor in the Bahamas. Eleven elevated, thatched-roof villas (and two rooms) are surrounded by lush vegetation, just steps from the private beach. No need to leave that comfy lounger or hammock; just raise a flag and the beach butler will bring your favorite refreshment. When you do feel like moving, you’ll find fantastic kayaking, reef diving, and the world’s best bonefishing right offshore, or head inland to search for wild orchids and some 330 bird species. Locally sourced, organic meals – prepared by a Michelin-trained chef, no less – are included.

Philosophy - Nature is a big part of the attraction of Tiamo, and as such we’ve made every effort to ensure our resort is a part of nature too. At Tiamo, we combine luxury living with responsible environmental design. Our 11 villas blend tastefully into their natural surroundings, taking advantage of the indigenous tropical vegetation to provide each one with a very private setting. The properties are all built from sustainable pine wood, and are elevated on stilts to benefit from natural cooling and ventilation. Roofing is made from thatch that helps to insulate buildings and keep temperatures pleasant. Any external ingredients we bring in wherever possible are locally sourced and organic.

Save the Environment - Tiamo resort, respect the environment is a guideline and we always try to find how improve or sustainability. Living on the 3rd biggest coral reef of the world is essential for us to help the local community to preserve this natural treasure. In the contest we try to have no impact on this area.

Accommodation - With just 11 villas and 2 Rooms, Tiamo is an exclusive retreat, a place where you really can get away from it all. All 11 Villas on properties exude great charm. Built in a traditional Caribbean style, each one is surrounded by lush green palm trees and has direct access to the white-sand beach.

Activities - Tiamo, you can be as relaxed or as active as you like. Our resort is perfectly placed to take advantage of the calm Caribbean for some wonderful water sports activities (such as water skiing, wakeboarding…). For divers, a spectacular reef awaits just offshore, while the calm, colorful shallows are a paradise for snorkeling, doing paddleboard or a ride with a transparent canoe. Above the water, this Bahamian island lends itself to some classic sailing experiences and access to world class fishing , while the interior of South Andros is a haven for exploring one of Caribbean’s most pristine tropical wilderness areas.

Dining - When it’s time to eat at Tiamo, you will discover a wonderful dining experience. The sophisticated, natural approach that defines our resort’s philosophy is applied to the food we serve in our restaurant, and our Michelin-trained chef will ensure you’re in very capable hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
