Island of Bryan is an HGTV Canada reality television series of renovation, home life, and business activities, premiering in Spring 2019.

The show was broadcast in the United States on HGTV USA as Renovation Island.

They have moved their entire family to the resort to live while they rebuild it, and hope to open within six months or lose it, without its cashflow.

They found the abandoned resort Emerald Palms, the original half-century old 18-room hotel and clubhouse; plus 22 villas, spa and beach bar added later, on a 10 acres (4.0 hectares) property; that had been renovated a few times since.

[3][4][5][6][7] HGTV greenlit the TV series in 2017, succeeding the second season of Bryan Inc., with the same production company, Si Entertainment.

[2] Island of Bryan premiered on 7 April 2019, in a 60-minute timeslot on HGTV Canada, to start a season of 13 episodes.

The third season, consisting of ten hour-long episodes, aired from 18 April 2021 to 25 July 2021.

[11][12][15] On 26 July 2021, Bryan Baeumler confirmed, on social media, that a fourth season was in the process of being filmed.

The seasons will cover further Bahamas resort stuff, and renovations to their Florida taxiway house.

Bryan reviews the start of his career of following his own life on TV instead of just renovating other people's places, with House of Bryan season 1, where Sarah transitions from owning a ballet school to being an interior designer.

Following its success in Canada, the series was picked up by HGTV U.S. and premiered on 7 June 2020, under the title Renovation Island.

[53] The resort has been designed around eco-friendliness, fair trade, and sourcing from sustainable farms and producers.

The resort was originally built in the 1960s and operated under various names up until eight years before production on the show began.

[57] During the show Island of Bryan, the Baeumlers turn the abandoned resort into Caerula Mar Club, which was initially planned to be completed in mid-May 2019, and opened in June 2019.

The business established by the Baeumlers by the end of the first season of Island of Bryan is Caerula Mar Club resort.

[19][59][4][53][54][58] At the time of the December 2019 Phase I grand opening, there were 18 hotel suites and six villas in operation on the property, with four dining areas, both fine and casual.

[67] Caerula Mar, along with other Bahamian resorts, started to offer on-site COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 testing to guests in 2021.
