Baderman Logo Future Development

Since Baderman Island has opened it had already become a premiere vacation and relaxation destination, but things are just getting started. Of the nearly 1600 acres of the island, only 750 have been developed. That means that there are still over 800 acres of wilderness and development that are still in the works. Of course this doesn’t mean that the entire island will be over-developed. We at Baderman Island have intentionally designed permanent wilderness areas – in addition to the 375 acres of the botanical gardens -- that will be integrated into the master plan of the Island.

Pepicello Fairways are planning on adding an additional 18 holes of golf on 75 open acres adjacent to the existing golf course. This new range will be designed for those golfers seeking the additional challenge needed to drive up their game.

The WIlliam C. Martin Botanical Gardens are growing. Currently the 225 acres of preserved wilderness is home to abundant wildlife, exotics plants, and colorful butterflies. In attempt to better protect the gardens, an additional 150 acre buffer area is being created around the garden. Additionally, the existing walking and hiking trails are being expanded to make for better access for wheelchairs and those guests that request golf cart accessibility.

Plans are in the works to expand the Baderman Island Oasis Spa. The modest 50 acres site is being expanded by an additional 25 acres with additional facilities as well. These expanded facilities will include more private rooms, larger massage areas, and better availability for services.

Need more room to play? Well you’re in luck. The 50 acre Recreation Area is being doubled. The new cove will have improved tennis facilities, expanded beach area, and dedicated areas for fishing and SCUBA diving.

What about the hotels? Currently the three hotels (Main, Tenney, and Melancon Convention Center and Hotel) occupy a total of 180 acres. Future development includes the expansion of the properties by an additional 300 acres. This will include the completion of the Melancon Hotel and Convention Center to its maximum size, the doubling of suites at the Tenney, and the finishing touches on the Main Hotel and some wonderful new options to better enhance your stay.

Currently the Melancon Convention Center is fantastic for quaint, smaller gatherings but wait until you hear what we have in store for it. Future development includes the tripling of the current 25 acre site as well of expansion plans to host even the largest of conventions.

And then what? Even with all of these plans already in the works, things even get better. Construction has already begun on the Island Villas for those guests wanting a little more privacy during their stay. Current construction includes a series of individual villas scattered across 100 acres of undeveloped wilderness. Looking into the future, there are plans to adapt an additional 175 acres as permanent wilderness and Private Villas throughout the island as your own personal secret getaway.
