Rosewood Baha Mar's British colonial-style architecture oozes charm and sophistication, while interiors decked in beachy blues, lavenders and earthen hues exude Bahamian calm. Woven rattans and local art may offer a delightful sense of place, but it is the effervescent and oh-so-gracious Bahamian hospitality that defines this unique destination hotel.

Commanding the serene 3,000ft sugar-white stretch of sand that is Nassau’s prized Cable Beach, 185 of the resort’s 237 rooms, suites and villas have ocean views. Every guestroom has its own private balcony or terrace area, while four beachfront villas, available with three to six bedrooms, feature their own private plunge pools.

As well as four on-site dining options, extensive fitness facilities and a Sense Rosewood Spa, personal butlers are on hand to ensure guests want for nothing inside the resort. What’s more, access to the celebrated Baha Mar development with its luxury shopping, endless bars and restaurants, the Caribbean’s largest casino, a wildlife sanctuary and Explorer’s Club, it’s the perfect playground for little and big kids alike.
