Nassau, Bahamas Resorts and Hotels

About Nassau

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas, set on New Providence Island, and it pairs warm, clear water with a resort scene built around beach days, long lunches and lively evenings. A stay here tends to revolve around the shoreline: a morning swim, an afternoon in the shade, and a night that runs from a quiet drink to a dance floor, depending on the resort you choose. The three hotels we sell in Nassau each take that formula in a different direction.

Sandals Royal Bahamian All Inclusive Adults Only is the five-star option, made for couples. It has a beachfront setting with a private beach area, an outdoor pool with a shallow end and a pool bar, and a spa with a sauna, steam room and hot tub/jacuzzi. Suites with private pools and swim-up access are part of the picture, and evenings bring entertainment, a nightclub/DJ and karaoke. A free airport shuttle, free parking and free WiFi smooth the practical side. Coral Harbour Beach House And Villas, a three-star, suits a more active, social stay: a private beach with free cabanas and sun loungers, snorkeling and paddleboards on site, free bicycles, and an evening lineup of karaoke, live shows and other entertainment. Supervised childcare and activities make it a practical choice for travelers with children, while wedding services and romance packages speak to couples marking an occasion.

Courtyard by Marriott Nassau Downtown/Junkanoo Beach is the four-star choice for a beachfront stay on West Bay Street. Rooms come in oceanfront and poolside patio options, and the outdoor pool has a shallow end, with a separate kids' pool for younger swimmers. You can move between the pool bar, restaurant, snack bar and coffee shop through the day, and a fitness center and tennis court give you ways to stay active. The 24-hour front desk and concierge service are there around the clock, and free WiFi and free parking are included. Choosing between the three comes down to the kind of trip: an adults-only retreat for two, a hands-on beach house with plenty to do, or a beachfront hotel with several places to eat and drink.

When to go

Nassau's driest, sunniest stretch runs from mid-December through April, when days are warm, humidity is lower and sea breezes keep evenings comfortable. It suits beach, pool and spa days alike. Late spring brings hotter weather, and summer is hot and humid with more frequent showers, which many travelers handle with morning beach time and afternoon shade. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November, with the greatest risk generally in late summer and early autumn, so flexible plans and travel insurance are worth considering for those months. Shoulder months such as May and November can offer a good balance of warm water and a more relaxed pace.
