Offering the perfect combination of Bahamian charm and international luxury, Old Bahama Bay is a heavenly out-island escape


Each of the 67 oversized luxurious junior suites and six two-bedroom suites are set directly on the pristine white beaches of Grand Bahama Island. They are just steps from the ocean and are lavishly appointed with custom-designed island plantation furnishings and décor, beautifully appointed baths with soaking tubs and private terraces overlooking the sea.

The location, set on the westernmost tip of the island near the historic village of West End, is as spectacular as the resort itself. Private boats can arrive at the Old Bahama Bay Marina, an official port of entry, and water enthusiasts adore nearby reef formations that offer unparalleled diving and snorkeling. Fishermen can take advantage of the exceptional deep-sea fishing, private picnics to a secluded island can be arranged and excursions into Freeport for shopping, gambling and swimming with the dolphins are available. Closer to home, guests can enjoy a massage to the soundtrack of the sea and explore the Bahamian waters, while the kids take part in fun filled activities. At the end of the day, relax and unwind in the resorts 4,000sq ft, two level swimming pool with infinity edge lounging and massage jets, while taking in the tranquil ocean view. Guests can enjoy three dining options: the elegant Aqua dining room featuring international fusion dishes, the casual Bonefish Folley’s and the beachfront Straw Bar and Grille.
