Lighthouse Point at the southern end of Eleuthera will begin welcoming guests in summer next year, joining Castaway Cay as a dedicated port of call for Disney.

“Lighthouse Point is a place of extraordinary natural beauty, so our goal has always been to create designs that accentuate its qualities in an organic way,” said Kevin Thomas with Walt Disney Imagineering. “We’re focused on low-density, sustainable development that protects and preserves the environment, allowing the site’s biodiversity to shine.”
Critics were concerned when word came Disney was interested in the development of the privately owned 700-acre site at southern end of the island, but with approval of the government of the Bahamas in 2019, the company moved forward with the purchase and has since been able to move forward after the completion of an environmental impact assessment.
Disney hosted open town halls during the process while several environmental groups were vocal in their opposition. The look of the new destination hopes to tap into the culture of the Bahamas in the same manner as Disney’s Aulani resort tries to represent Hawaii.
