The Project

The development on East Sampson Cay, coming in 2028, is being led by Yntegra Group and is rooted in a deep respect for The Bahamas, its people, culture, and environment. This project is committed to creating meaningful jobs for Bahamians, supporting local entrepreneurs and businesses, and helping to preserve the natural beauty that makes Exuma so special. With a focus on sustainable design and long-term community impact, the development aims to bring lasting benefits to the people of Exuma and the broader Bahamian community, while ensuring that growth is thoughtful, responsible, and in harmony with the surrounding environment.
