Discover a world of adventure at spectacular Bahamian oasis Baha Mar
Family vacation, girls’ getaway or celebratory trip for two, there’s something for everyone at Baha Mar, The Bahamas’ destination resort where the experiences across its distinct oceanfront hotels—the Rosewood Baha Mar, SLS Baha Mar and Grand Hyatt Baha Mar—touch every category of luxurious, authentic Caribbean travel. Here’s the top 10 activities and experiences for everyone.
1. Baha Bay
The resort’s brand new Baha Bay, a luxury beachfront water park overlooking the captivating Cable Beach stages splashy exhilarations for the whole family—designated areas for younger kids, rousing water slides for teens, and a casino gaming pavilion for adults. Dive into the 500,000-gallon wave pool, 1,400-foot action river, FlowCurl surf simulator, and the Caribbean’s first uphill ProSlide Dueling Water Coasters and FlyingSAUCER Cyclone Rush. Baha Bay Beach Club, meanwhile, beckons with picturesque infinity pools, private cabanas, and coastal-inspired cuisine.
2. Golfing
Enjoy the pristine greens at Royal Blue Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Signature-designed golf course whose rapturous ocean views, undulating fairways and rolling white-sand dunes backdrop its front nine holes, while limestone “moonscapes” through dense jungle and downhill terrain up the ante on the back nine. The recently launched Mini Blue Golf, a meandering, pro-inspired miniature golf course, is also a hit for families, teens, groups and everyone who enjoys a little competitive fun.
3. Racquet Club
Enjoy nine state-of-the-art tennis courts at the Racquet Club at Baha Mar, which courts tennis lovers with six hard courts, two clay courts and the only grass tennis court at a resort property in the Caribbean, along with world-class instruction from Cliff Drysdale Tennis.

6. The Sanctuary
At the heart of Baha Mar’s conservation efforts, The Sanctuary hosts animal feedings and interactions with a menagerie of wild creatures and marine species from sea turtles and nurse sharks.
7. Flamingo Cay
For a spectacle of tropical birds, flock to eco-inspired venues like The Aviary and Flamingo Cay, a unique habitat for the national bird of The Bahamas. Mingle with ‘mingos at the Cay’s daily parade or make a date for a Private Flamingo Encounter. Participants of Flamingo Yoga, meanwhile, can strike a pose alongside the ultimate yoga experts—the Baha Mar Ambassador Flamingos!
8. Spa Experiences
A sanctuary of another sort is the ESPA Baha Mar, the first ESPA-branded flagship in the Caribbean and the only of its kind in the Bahamas. The 30,000-square-foot haven offers bespoke, regionally reflective spa experiences and Bahamian-inspired treatments. Meanwhile, the regionally-inspired rituals and Lost Remedies—a series of treatments that tap into the islands’ healing traditions—make Sense, a Rosewood Spa, another source of refuge.
9. Explorers Club
For kids, Baha Mar’s Explorers’ Club engages guests ages 3 to 12 with a host of activities, from arts & crafts to movie nights to wildlife adventures. Budding foodies can cook up the spirit of island cuisine and participate in farm-to-table education, teen competitions and more at The Kitchen, which offers culinary experiences for both children and adults.
10. The Nightlife
After dark, vibrant nightlife from sophisticated bars, pulsating nightclubs and rooftop lounges steal the spotlight with breath-taking Bahamian views and tantalizing mixology, including at Bond, a 10,000-square-foot venue featuring a state-of-the-art sound system and performances by superstar DJs.
