Best Hotels for New Year's Eve in Bahamas (2026)

6 hotels · Updated February 2026

Pink Sands, Harbour Island — Harbour Island
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.4

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.

$$$ Upscale
★ 9.2

Paradise Island

Atlantis, The Cove

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.

Sandals Royal Bahamian — Cable Beach
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.2

Sandals's flagship Bahamas property on Cable Beach brings the brand's signature couples-only all-inclusive to a property with an unusually elegant British colonial aesthetic. The private offshore island with its own swim-up bar and beach, combined with overwater bungalows and eight restaurants, deliver an exceptional all-inclusive experience for romantic travellers.

Kamalame Cay — Exuma
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.7

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.

SLS Baha Mar — Cable Beach
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.1

Cable Beach

SLS Baha Mar

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.

One&Only Ocean Club, A Private Club — Paradise Island
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.7

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.
