Bahamas

Built on the former Huntington Hartford estate, the Ocean Club is among the Caribbean's most storied properties — 35 acres of Versailles-inspired gardens cascading to a private stretch of beach on Paradise Island. The 107 rooms and suites are elegantly understated in a way that feels almost deliberate against the Atlantis spectacle next door. Dining at Dune by Jean-Georges is exceptional by any global standard.

Rosewood's flagship within the Baha Mar complex delivers a distinctly more intimate luxury experience than its casino-resort neighbours. The 237 rooms and suites reference Bahamian craft traditions through woven textures and hand-painted woodwork; The Retreat Pool creates a genuinely calm adult sanctuary, and the Beach Club — exclusive to Rosewood guests — is one of Cable Beach's best stretches.

SLS brings its signature fashion-forward aesthetic to the Baha Mar complex with design-forward rooms, an excellent pool, and access to Baha Mar's full amenity programme — 40 restaurants and bars, three golf courses, and the Baha Mar Casino. The celebrity chef-driven Cleo Cooks restaurant is a destination dining experience, and the rooftop bar's sunsets are extraordinary.

The Cove is Atlantis's premium adults-only tower — a more sophisticated enclave within the iconic mega-resort complex that gives guests access to the full Atlantis experience (Aquaventure waterpark, casino, 20+ restaurants) while retreating to a quieter pool, upgraded rooms, and dedicated beach section. The best of both worlds for Atlantis seekers who want a touch more serenity.

Pink Sands is the original Harbour Island boutique — a series of tropical cottages set in three acres of garden directly above the three-mile pink sand beach. The property's design mixes Bahamian vernacular with the kind of colour-saturated Caribbean eclecticism that feels effortless here. Sunrise breakfasts on the private beach terrace are among the Caribbean's most quietly magnificent experiences.

Perched on the hill above Harbour Island's harbour, Rock House is the destination's most stylish boutique — a former private home converted into nine rooms and suites of extraordinary taste. The infinity pool overlooking the harbour, the rooftop deck, and the Bahamian-spiced restaurant are all as good as they look in the pages of Condé Nast Traveler. A cult address.

On the Great Exuma mainland, Grand Isle is the most polished resort base for exploring the Exumas chain — a collection of private villas and suites set on a hillside above a spectacular infinity pool and private beach. The resort arranges everything from swimming-pig boat tours to diving Thunderball Grotto with seamless competence. The Palapa Bar sunsets here are of the world-class variety.

A 96-acre private island with just 20 villas and suites, Kamalame Cay in the Andros Bight is among the Bahamas's most exclusive escapes. The bonefishing, diving, and kayaking here are genuinely world-class, and the resort's commitment to privacy is absolute. A favourite of those in the know who find Harbour Island too social.

An energetic SuperClubs all-inclusive on Cable Beach that has long attracted couples and groups seeking maximum fun at accessible price points.
