NASSAU, The Bahamas, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation welcomes the announcement of Amancaya, a major resort and residence development by Aman in Exuma. This $260 million project reflects strong investor confidence in The Bahamas as a jurisdiction for high-quality, strategically aligned development.

Spanning two private cays, Amancaya brings one of the world’s most respected luxury hospitality brands to The Bahamas.
