Nassau's beachfront stays range from a laid-back private-beach hideaway to a polished West Bay Street hotel and a five-star, adults-only resort. This page suits couples, families and anyone who wants the sea at the door and a day that starts on the sand.
Every hotel here qualifies as beachfront, meaning it sits directly on the shoreline or has its own beach access. We then compared each one's pools, dining, activities and extras so you can match the stay to your trip.
