Our Picks

Cable Beach
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.
Harbour Island
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.
Paradise Island
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.
Cable Beach
An energetic SuperClubs all-inclusive on Cable Beach that has long attracted couples and groups seeking maximum fun at accessible price points. The resort's long beachfront, numerous pools, climbing wall, tennis, and non-stop entertainment roster create a relentlessly social atmosphere. Breezes delivers on its promise of a party-forward Caribbean holiday.
Cable Beach
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.
Paradise Island
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.
