To entice guests now, Atlantis recently launched Sapphire Services, a bespoke concierge platform offered exclusively to guests. The Sapphire Services team is “dedicated to crafting and curating extraordinary one-of-a-kind guest experiences” for guests, from private culinary adventures and VIP programming at Dolphin Cay to collaborations with high-end brands, private jets, and yacht charters. For a unique experience, partake in Kamalame Cay’s Chef’s Farm/Ocean-to-Table lunch. We were chauffeured roundtrip from Atlantis to Nassau’s Odyssey Airport and took a chartered Coco Bahama Air (an Atlantis’ partner) seaplane to Kamalame Cay on private Andros Island. Once there, we were able to explore the Caribbean retreat. Snorkeling, bonefishing, and the overwater spa were all a part of the experience. Then, lunch was served. While seated under a palapa on the beach, overlooking the tranquil cerulean sea, we relished a leisurely multi-course lunch served family-style. Each dish either featured fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients, paired with Young’s Fine Wines in Nassau. Canapés included an applewood smoked bacon with spicy Andros honey; seared tuna with wasabi mayo, sesame soy dressing, and wonton crisps; and stone crab croquettes with sriracha. Paired with a Kamalame Spritz, these light bites were divine. Next, we had a tasty heirloom tomato salad with homemade mozzarella, avocado, mango, Thai basil, and citrus pesto; salt and pepper conch; and flame-grilled flatbread served with rosé. For the main courses, we devoured the whole red snapper with tamarind served with grilled broccolini, steamed rice parcels in banana leaves, and pumpkin two ways, paired with chardonnay; and the blackened Mahi Mahi with ginger, lemongrass, and fresh coriander served with iceberg lettuce cups, chopped peanuts, hoisin sauce, and crispy noodles, paired with Chablis. Dessert was unlike anything I have ever tasted –avocado ice cream with toasted coconut, white chocolate sauce, farm berries, and salted cronuts served in a green coconut. It sounds different, but I assure you, theses flavors together were outstanding – refreshing, tropical, and so delicious. This treat was served with Coconut Cartel rum. Every dish was fresh and bursting with so many amazing flavors. Our experience was unbelievably magical, and one that I highly recommend. Seaplane excursions to Spanish Wells and Harbour Island will launch later this year. Guests can also visit neighboring islands by chartering a boat docked at Atlantis Marina with Pieces of 8, Nassau’s premier boat charter company, and take day trips to Exuma and Eleuthera.
