It Started with a Broom and a Dream
Before Embrace Resort became one of the most trusted names in luxury island hospitality, it was a whisper in the heart of hardworking Bahamian Nicole “Nikki” Ferguson. Her career started in her teens, sweeping floors at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club, where she rose to become manager. In that position, Nikki was the go-to person for everything. Want to propose? Want to rent a boat? Need a flight to Nassau? Ask Nikki! She provided concierge services without realizing it. Then, the real spark came when her mother, Ms. Nellie, suggested, “You should start your own business.” And just like that, 3Ns Exuma Vacations, was born—the first Bahamian-owned travel concierge on the island. But Nikki’s dream didn’t stop there…
One Villa at a Time
After working in hospitality for decades, Nikki wanted to create a boutique resort that would welcome guests like family, celebrate Bahamian culture, and offer true island luxury—a place where guests experience the comfort of a 4-star hotel and the warmth and personalized care of a 5-star stay.
Our Guests
We welcome you by name, not by room number. We take the time to learn and remember your favorite drink. We genuinely want to know how you're really doing. Because you're not just staying at a hotel—we’re inviting you into our family.
Our Partners
We never use the word “staff.” Everyone here is a “partner,” because they are vital to what we offer. We’ve celebrated birthdays and taken all-inclusive trips to Nassau. We plan beach days, team dinners, and quarterly retreats. We grow together, laugh together, and hold each other up through life.
Our Family
Our partners aren’t just our team—they’re our family. At Embrace, caring is something we live. Over the years, we’ve paid for funerals for our partners’ parents, provided financial advances, and even covered the cost of surgeries because we believe that love, loyalty, and care should be at the core of every company and every community.
Our Community
We’re the largest local employer in the Exuma Cays, and we believe in giving back as much as we receive. That’s why we’ve funded scholarships, provided up to six-figure 0% interest loans to local entrepreneurs, hosted community events and financial literacy sessions, and sponsored everything from pageants to parades.
Our Contribution
Every year, we proudly host the Mind, Motivation & Ministry Conference—the first event of its kind in the Exuma Cays focused solely on mental health advocacy within our local community. We bring in dynamic speakers from Nassau and abroad to lead open, healing conversations around self-care, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and emotional well-being.
A Place to Belong
At Embrace Resort, our faith in God is at the heart of everything we do. We are proudly a Christian organization, and we begin each team meeting in prayer—inviting God into our plans, our challenges, and our celebrations. We welcome and embrace everyone, of all beliefs, backgrounds, and walks of life—just like Jesus would. Love, hospitality, and grace are at the center of how we serve, and every guest who walks through our doors is treated with dignity, kindness, and care. We’re proud to be home to a beautifully diverse team of partners from all over the world, including the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti, and the Philippines.
