1. Sandals Royal Bahamian: Ultimate Overwater Romance

When I first stepped into an overwater butler villa here, the private infinity pool overlooking Cable Beach felt like my own private Bahamas.

This adults-only all-inclusive on New Providence redefines indulgence with 12 restaurants, unlimited scuba, and beachfront yoga. Guests rave about the Red Lane Spa’s couples treatments; one reviewer called it “our 10th anniversary heaven.”

2. Rosewood Baha Mar: Elevated Beachfront Elegance

I remember arriving at Rosewood Baha Mar after a red-eye flight; the sense of arrival hit with jasmine-scented air and staff remembering my iced tea preference.

Nestled in Nassau’s Cable Beach corridor, this 200-room retreat offers sense of place suites with marble baths and private plunge pools. Dining shines at chef Marcus Samuelsson’s Marcus restaurant, where conch fritters steal the show.

3. Atlantis Paradise Island: Aquatic Adventure Central

Nothing beats waking up to stingrays gliding past your window at Atlantis. I’ve chased slides on the Leap of Faith and dined with dolphins; this mega-resort packs 141 acres of waterparks, casinos, and 20+ eateries.

Families love the Dig aquarium with 11,000+ sea creatures.

4. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Bahamas: Private Island Serenity

Snorkeling from my beachfront cabana at Four Seasons Exuma felt worlds away from the Nassau hustle. This 70-room hideaway on Great Exuma offers private boat charters and farm-to-table dining with local rock lobster. I once watched sea turtles hatch right from the dock.

5. The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort: Waldorf Astoria Paradise

Strolling the Versailles-inspired gardens at Ocean Club, I felt transported. This Paradise Island icon boasts ESPA spa and 15 tennis courts; my suite’s balcony overlooked miles of beach.

6. Kamalame Cay Resort: Intimate Andros Hideaway

Cay hopping by private boat from Kamalame remains my favorite memory. All villas have plunge pools; bonefishing is legendary here.

7. Grand Hyatt Baha Mar: Modern Family Luxury

Trump International Beach Resort follows with golf and sushi dining.

8. Caerula Mar Resort: Eco-Chic Eleuthera Gem

Eleuthera’s Caerula Mar blends sustainability with chic design; infinity pools cascade into the Atlantic.

9. Orange Hill Beach Inn: Charming Budget Paradise

For value, Orange Hill’s pink colonial vibe and $250 rooms can’t be beat. Crawfish pie at the inn’s restaurant hooked me.

10. Stella Maris Resort Club: Dive Haven on Long Island

Ending with Stella Maris, where I dove walls dropping 6000ft. Rustic chic rooms overlook untouched reefs.
