Current trends: The Exumas continue to trade on two distinct luxury models: Fowl Cay's intimate six-villa, boat-per-villa private island experience centered on Hill House's panoramic sunset dining, and Musha Cay's whole-island buyout model spanning 11 islands and 40-plus beaches, both capitalizing on the enduring global fame of Big Major Cay's swimming pigs as the region's signature only-in-the-Exumas experience.
