DISNEY Is Building A Private Island Resort In The Bahamas

The Disney Cruise Line company is building another new resort on a private island in the Bahamas.

Known as Lighthouse Point, the 751-acre resort is expected to open in late 2022 or early 2023, and will be on the island of Eleuthera.

Architecture plans and color renderings show bungalow style suites surrounded by green palm trees, trails for exploring, and of course long stretches of white sandy beaches.

From DailyMailUK:

The Florida-headquartered company purchased a plot of land called Lighthouse Point on Lenny Kravitz’s Bahamian island home of Eleuthera last year and will develop it into a destination with strong Bahamian themes and plenty of activities on offer.

The entire project – which is set to be completed in late 2022 or 2023 – has a projected cost between $250million and $400million.

Castaway Cay, which is Disney Cruise Line’s other island, also in the Bahamas, opened in 1998. It was used for filming Pirates of the Caribbean scenes.The firm has four ships – the Magic, Wonder, Dream and Fantasy. Three more vessels are now being built at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany.
