Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Nassau
Rosewood Baha Mar · Cable BeachSo here you choose by style rather than by neighborhood. Couples looking for calm book Rosewood Baha Mar, with its own pools and a butler from the suites upward.

Families stay at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, which has a kids' club for ages 3 to 12 and unlimited access to the Baha Bay water park.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
One resort, three personalities: what the luxury hotels in Nassau feel like
Three hotels, one beach: From Lynden Pindling International Airport it is about an eight-minute drive to Baha Mar. The three luxury hotels share the beach, golf course, spa and water park, yet each has its own pools, restaurants and bars. You pick the hotel that suits your taste and still enjoy the whole resort, which holds the Preferred by Nature certification.
SLS Baha Mar · Cable BeachThe quiet enclave: Since June 2018, Rosewood Baha Mar has welcomed guests to a section of its own with private beach access. A butler comes with every One-Bedroom Suite and above, and the beachfront villas have private plunge pools. Your welcome starts at the airport, in the hotel's own arrival lounge.
Design and music: SLS Baha Mar opened in November 2017. In the evening DJs play at Skybar on the 20th floor, the Monkey Bar in the lobby shakes craft cocktails, and at the Privilege pool adults have the place to themselves.
The family resort: With 1,800 rooms in two towers, many with balconies, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar sits at the center of Baha Mar. On top of the East Tower you will find The Reserve, a club level with its own lounge, concierge and butler service.
These luxury hotels in Nassau have a pool – from a wave pool to a villa plunge pool
For families: At Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, six tropical, landscaped pools with bookable cabanas spread across the grounds, plus the Blue Hole pool. At the H2O bar in the Fortune Pool you order your drink without leaving the water. Adults aged 18 and over retreat to the Elixir pool, whose bar serves hotel guests only.
Grand Hyatt Baha Mar · Cable BeachFor peace and quiet: By the Lagoon Pool at Rosewood Baha Mar, close to the beach, children play during the day, and a whirlpool hides among the bamboo. The tri-level Fan Pool fills the grand courtyard, with cabanas on the top tier. Book a villa and the plunge pool is yours alone.
For night owls: Privilege, the pool at SLS Baha Mar, is reserved for adults, with DJs, daybeds and private cabanas. At the hotel's second pool, the Bungalow Pool Bar & Grill serves cocktails and light dishes.

The private cabanas at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar pools and at Privilege at SLS Baha Mar go quickly. Tell us your preferred days and we will request the cabana together with your room.
Spa & wellness in Nassau: ESPA and Bahamian rituals around your 5-star hotel
ESPA Baha Mar: On the seventh floor of Grand Hyatt Baha Mar lies the resort's large ESPA, with indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, a nail salon and treatments drawing on local healing traditions. In the ocean-view gym you can join classes or train with a personal trainer. Guests of SLS Baha Mar book their treatments here as well.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Sense, A Rosewood Spa: On the lower level of Rosewood Baha Mar you will find a spa and salon of its own for massages, skin care and hair. The signature Lost Remedies treatment draws on native plants and old Bahamian healing rituals. Staying here, you can also use the ESPA, which is open to guests of all three luxury hotels at the resort.
Dining at Nassau's luxury hotels: Daniel Boulud, Marcus Samuelsson and a Tuscan butcher
French cooking with Caribbean produce: At Rosewood Baha Mar, Café Boulud The Bahamas cooks by Daniel Boulud's four muses, from tradition to travel, using Caribbean ingredients. At Costa, chef Juan Meza serves coastal Mexican food in open-air cabanas around koi ponds, with brunch on Sundays. For the evening we suggest the Manor Bar and its classic cocktails, honored by Forbes Travel Guide as a hotel bar.
Fish, steak and Peking duck: Right on the ocean, Marcus Fish + Chop House by Marcus Samuelsson serves sustainably caught seafood and dry-aged cuts. At Shuang Ba the Peking duck is carved by hand, alongside a long baijiu list. Both restaurants belong to the resort and are just a few steps from Grand Hyatt Baha Mar.

Sunset drinks: Marcus Up Top is a rooftop bar above the beach with a raw bar. The Out Island Bar recalls 1950s Nassau, and The Lynden is an Art Deco-style lounge.
Our tip: conch salad at the Fish Fry
For an evening outside the resort, take a taxi to the Fish Fry at Arawak Cay, between Cable Beach and the old town. The colorful stalls serve conch salad and fried fish, often with live music.
Where to stay in Nassau: Cable Beach or the old town – the right location for your 5-star hotel
Nassau shows travelers two faces. The old town around Bay Street is the historic center, with Parliament Square, the Straw Market and the Queen's Staircase, its steps cut into the limestone. For swimming, people head west to Cable Beach. If you want a 5-star hotel in Nassau with the beach at the door, Cable Beach is your address.
For couples and food lovers: Among the luxury hotels in Nassau, Rosewood Baha Mar is the calm enclave within the resort, with private beach access and a spa of its own.
- Breakfast for two, every day
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Hotel credit, e.g. US$100
- Early check-in and late check-out
- VIP service and personal advice
- Points and status in the hotel programme
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
In the heart of the resort: Grand Hyatt Baha Mar stands at the center of Baha Mar, close to the water park, restaurants and golf course. In the same resort, SLS Baha Mar focuses on design and nightlife. Ideal if you plan busy days and short walks to dinner.
The neighbors: Across the harbor, a bridge takes you to Paradise Island and Atlantis. For a trip there or into the old town, plan on a taxi.
Our tip: a morning in the old town
Climb the Queen's Staircase up to Fort Fincastle and look out over the rooftops to the harbor. Then browse the Straw Market for woven crafts before heading back to Cable Beach for sunset.
