Rosewood Baha Mar Hotel

Introduction

About

Nowhere provides the same sense of total escape while also offering the promise of so many possibilities, all paired with a beautiful beach setting and intuitive service.

For decades, Nassau’s white-sand beaches, crystal-blue water and air of sultry tropical decadence have lured glamorous sun-seekers to The Bahamas—including James Bond, who has appeared in several films set here. Now, thanks to the opening of Baha Mar, an ambitious new resort development, the capital is reemerging on the radar of jet-setters—but with an authentic Bahamian twist.

And it’s not all sun and sand: The buzz surrounding Baha Mar is prompting visitors to rediscover Nassau (and New Providence, the island it inhabits) and the unique local experiences it delivers. Here are five reasons we’re excited to bring Rosewood Journeys to The Bahamas, where Rosewood Baha Mar opens in June.

The new Rosewood Baha Mar is the third and final resort to open at Baha Mar. Its 238 guest rooms, suites and villas deftly combine traditional Bahamian colonial architecture, like wrought-iron four post beds, with modern touches and contemporary artwork—not to mention breathtaking balcony views over the turquoise ocean. Sense Spa will promote wellness with island-inspired treatments. And at the aptly named Commonwealth restaurant, chefs blend local cuisine with flavors from across the British Empire, including the West Indies, Oceania and Canada.

Guests have unfettered access to the rest of Baha Mar as well. Stretching a half-mile along Cable Beach, the 1,000-acre complex is a destination unto itself, with dozens of bars and restaurants—including an outpost of Katsuya, a Philippe Starck-designed sushi spot from Master Chef Katsuya Uechi—luxury boutiques, nine tennis courts, a Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course, a sprawling spa, and eleven swimming pools. And fitting with the development’s commitment to preserving and promoting Bahamian culture, over 8,000 works of local artwork line the walls and dot the gardens.
