Jamaica's King of Reggae, Robert Nesta Marley's indelible mark is to make its way to Nassau, Bahamas, where the star's family will open the first Marley Resort & Spa in spring 2007.

Located on the 'less travelled' section of famed Cable Beach in Nassau, the resort is developing into an elegant microcosm of African and Caribbean style.

Sculptured hand-carved doors, mosaic tiles, intricate stonework and sandstone walls adorn each of the 16 luxurious themed suites centres on Marley song titles, such as Kinky Reggae, Nice Time, and Kaya.
