Beyond the Beaches: Discovering the Magic of Disney Lookout Cay

Step into the vibrant spirit of The Bahamas at Disney Lookout Cay! Mabrika Cove, the island’s welcoming heart, bursts with Bahamian culture the moment you arrive. Prepare to be immersed in a world of rich traditions and joyful energy.

Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated with local artists to reflect the essence of The Bahamas in the design and experiences at Disney Lookout Cay. Here, you’ll find yourself surrounded by Bahamian nature and culture, with venues built to reflect the natural wonders and traditions of the chain of islands.

Don’t you love finding seashells on the beach? At Disney Lookout Cay, the dramatic structures are designed to resemble giant, colorful seashells scattered along Eleuthera’s coastline.

Bright, Bahamian-inspired art greets you in the dining pavilions, bars and the Goombay Cultural Center, which might quickly become your favorite place at Disney Lookout Cay.

This brilliantly colored pavilion celebrates the rich history of The Bahamas and houses a wide range of programming, including the “Sights and Sounds of Junkanoo” family workshop, where local artisans will teach you all about Junkanoo, the signature festival of The Bahamas filled with colorful parades, dancing and music.
