When the World Feels Heavy Let Love Be The Sanctuary

When life moves fast…sometimes, love gets quiet.
Between careers, caregiving, children, and the constant hum of economic stress, it’s easy for even strong couples to feel distant.
Not broken, just tired.

Love in Bloom is your invitation to step away from the noise and remember the heart of your marriage.

What Couples Are Saying

Best Restaurant in Staniel Cay

The spot is wonderful for casual eats, we had the fish sandwiches and the wings, the fish sandwich is very fresh and tasty and the plain wings is also very flavorful, we also got complimentary conch fritters which were delicious. Would definitely recommend if you are here for the trip!

Beautiful Intimate Resort

This was my first time and it was such an Amazing experience at Embrace! The staff and people are super friendly. The rooms are beautiful with a sweet island feel. Also, the airport is close but not interrupting your stay. The Island is easy to get around, safe and the people are so welcoming! Loved it here.

Amazing

Cutest little café on the island with delicious food. Ordered the tuna melt with fries and tried some of the burger, both amazing! The staff is very friendly too. Dee was our server and she did fantastic. Hoping to make it back to eat before we sail out.

Small Island Paradise

What a fabulous couples' getaway!! A quick golf cart ride from the airport and we arrived at our quaint island resort…“Embrace.” Check-in was a breeze and our room was so charming and nice and cool! The vibe was tropical/casual and the staff was welcoming and friendly.

Wonderful

If you’re looking for a cozy, peaceful stay, Embrace Resort is the place for you. My family enjoyed a beautiful couple of days here and absolutely loved it. There is a wonderful cafe right on the grounds with stellar dishes, and a gorgeous pool right out front the villas. It’s tucked away if you want some peace and quiet, but a short distance away from the nightlife.
