Insider Tips

  • 1

    Book at least 2-3 months ahead for peak season stays in Bahamas.

  • 2

    Consider staying slightly outside the main tourist zone for better value — many of Bahamas's best hotels are in residential neighborhoods.

  • 3

    Always check the hotel's cancellation policy before booking, especially during high season.

  • 4

    Ask the front desk for local restaurant recommendations — hotel concierges in Bahamas often have excellent taste.

  • 5

    If you're visiting for the first time, a central location is worth the premium — you'll save on transport and have more time to explore.

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.

The Rock House, Harbour Island — Harbour Island
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.6

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.
