5INNOCENCE ISLAND
Some corners of the world are simply more beautiful than the rest — INNOCENCE ISLAND is one
such locale. One of the last UNSPOILED BASTIONS in the magical EXUMA CHAIN OF ISLANDS,
Innocence is separated not only by space and time, but by EXTRAORDINARY NATURAL BEAUTY
and total privacy. Virtually untouched by man, its 681 UNSPOILED ACRES of native fruit trees
and tropical foliage, soft terraced hills, and PRISTINE BEACHES ARE WAITING to greet you with
an intrinsic aura of PEACE AND TRANQUILITY that instantly lowers you blood pressure…and your
INTUITIONS. Getting to the island is a breeze with an AIRSTRIP ON-SITE. No plane? No
problem. Hop on a CHARTERED FLIGHT from nearby Nassau, Miami, Atlanta or even Toronto, and
you’ll be lounging in IDYLLIC ISLAND PRIVACY in no time. Truly, to call Innocence Island home is
worth any journey.
7INNOCENCE ISLAND
Arrive in style to your little piece of heaven by
landing on-site at the island’s private runway.
This 2,700-foot tarmac airstrip comes complete
with its own permitted airport code — MYEY
—and is suited to handle small jets with ample
opportunity for expansion. The sky truly is the
limit on Innocence Island!
PRIVATE ISLAND. PRIVATE PLANE.

Whether it’s adventure or relaxation you seek,
Innocence Island is waiting to cater to your
every whim. Positioned 90 feet above sea
level, the elegantly-appointed 5,000-square-
foot main house sits atop the island, offering
360-degree views of lush scenery at every
turn from its expansive tiered decks. Though
this six bedroom and six full bath timber
frame residence accommodates an impressive
10–12 guests, there is no shortage of privacy —
steal away from the group at the boat dock, in
a hammock under a sleepy palm, or at hidden
beach cove. For those who want to step things
up a notch, a separate hillside bungalow houses
a gym with an expansive yoga and meditation
deck overlooking the bay. “Om.

Bid on a case of the Emeritus Vineyards 2011 Hallberg Ranch Pinot Noir, as well
as a guided tour of the Hallberg Ranch in Sebastopol, California with founder and
proprietor Brice Cutrer Jones for up to four people.
The 2011 vintage provided a rare occasion in California to make a wine elegant in style, more delicate,
more fragrant and more feminine in nature than usual. This is a joyful wine that retains its freshness yet re-
mains reserved. It is lively with vibrant acidity that carries red fruit aromas of strawberry and raspberry. This
is a very special vintage — the year dry farming finally fulfilled its promise.
