Baha Mar

“Each of the three hotels here is

distinct. The Rosewood is luxuri-

ous and sophisticated. The SLS

is fun and youthful. Its Skybar

is very New York. And the Grand

Hyatt has the most relaxing pools

and bars—the Swimming Pig

pub was named for the Bahamas’

famous swimming pigs.”

John Watling’s Distillery

“The rum is very smooth,

and drinking it is a prideful

experience, because you know

it’s made here. I also love

the beauty of the landscaped

grounds and the colonial archi-

tecture, [which dates back to

1879]. And they have chickens

roaming the property!”

Love Beach

“A large stretch of Love Beach

is easily accessible to the public,

but keep an eye out for the

dirt road: It leads to a secluded

area with the most crystal-clear

waters you’ve ever seen. It’s good

for swimming and snorkeling,

or just putting your towel down

and relaxing.”

The Queen’s Staircase

“These 66 steps are one of the

big attractions in Nassau. I’ve

seen people do photo shoots

there and once saw a Bahamian

couple stage their wedding on

the staircase. Climb the stairs,

and then walk to Graycliff Hotel

and Restaurant for chocolate-

making and cigar-rolling tours.”
