A growing number of guests are using the words intimate, cozy, and quiet for why they are selecting the 1,000-acre Baha Mar luxury resort located in the heart of Nassau, Bahamas. Josh Herman, Baha Mar’s Senior Vice President of Marketing, shared that his oceanfront resort’s impressive size makes it a natural for guests looking to customize or make their vacation smaller.
“With the Grand Hyatt, the Rosewood, and the SLS hotel collection, the Baha Mar Resort offers three renowned brands for our guests to choose from. Each hotel presents a unique architecture, vibe, and array of amenities,” Herman said.
“Yes, Baha Mar is a far-reaching resort delivering a wealth of culinary options, nine pools, and dozens of indoor and outdoor things to do. What’s special about our resort is you can make your vacation as small or as big as you choose,” Herman said.
Which Hotel is Right for You?
The Grand Hyatt is the family friendly option for those seeking a win-win for kids and adults. What’s great is that guests choosing Hyatt can continue to bond with a brand they’ve grown up with. The Grand Hyatt is positioned in the center of Baha Mar, and every aspect of one’s vacation itinerary is a convenient walk. For Hyatt loyalists desiring quiet, The Reserve is a hotel within a hotel that is upscale and private.
The Rosewood is Baha Mar’s boutique-style best bet for guests desiring a secluded, luxury ambiance. The Rosewood’s sedate and classy environment can be felt immediately as you enter their lobby. Their bars and restaurants range from an open-air garden of Eden setting to an indoor stately elegance.
SLS is a great option for the guest craving a trendier, lovin’ the nightlife vibe and a stylish interior connection. SLS exudes an upscale slice of island paradise atmosphere.
Discover Your Small Space
Families, couples, and solo travelers all choose Baha Mar because of the resort’s pristine location on Cable Beach. For this trip, your beach vacation mandate places an emphasis on relaxing, a cold drink within arm’s reach, and a beautiful surround of swaying palm trees.
Why not start your day at a quaint restaurant whose name oozes tranquility? Welcome to The Library, a place where a morning entree includes smooth jazz, sipping champagne, and your choice of an ala carte breakfast or a bounty of fruit and pastry.
If you selected the Bahamas because of the year-round summer weather, then the al fresco Breakfast Café garden setting is the perfect gourmet way to jumpstart your morning. Not only is this dining venue a landscape marvel, the 5-star service and tropical vibe serves as the perfect complement to the Café’s delicious entrees.
Baha Mar for One-of-a Kind Experiences
Your customized small vacation choices are limitless during your Baha Mar Resort getaway. Where else in the world can your yoga session include pink flamingos?
Baha Mar is home to Flamingo Cay, a unique bird habitat where guests can view a dozen flamingos co-existing next to the resort’s array of swimming pools. This bird sanctuary is just a coconut toss away from Cable Beach. Bird lovers and fitness disciples can make reservations to participate in Flamingo Yoga. Prepare to breathe, stretch, and rejuvenate while in the presence of resident flamingos who are happily trained to practice yoga.
While on the subject of one-of-a-kind hotel experiences, Baha Mar is also where you’ll find a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, a John McEnroe Tennis Center, a John Batiste Jazz Club, and a cigar bar created by Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods.
Night Time is the Right Time for Small
Did you know that Baha Mar has 45 restaurants on site? That’s a lot of choices for you to go small, to indulge in your favorite cuisine, and to arrange for an evening that delivers a great vacation memory.
Your pre-evening begins at The Manor Bar, a nostalgia-rich establishment with a fully stocked bar, and a singer who fills the mood with music. A Manor favorite cocktail is the hand-crafted Smokey Old Fashion that is topped with Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
From the Manor you head to the Marcus Fish & Chop House positioned above the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. At this indoor-outdoor venue you can’t go wrong ordering the Aleppo Glazed Salmon with cous cous, cherry tomatoes, and fennel. Small never tasted so good. On an island where rum reigns supreme, ask for a Goombay Smash to quench your thirst.
Walk, Talk, and a Million Dollar View
After dinner you decide to stroll the beach one last time before returning to your room. A highlight to your spacious accommodations is when you pull back the curtain and step out on your balcony.
A million-dollar ocean view never gets old. This panoramic image is something you will take home like a treasured island keepsake.
The Baha Mar Resort found a way to dream big, yet offer hotel amenities, service, and experiences that are priceless. On Nassau in the Bahamas, one of the Caribbean’s most luxurious resorts remembered that some of the best things in life are small. https://bahamar.com/
