Best Luxury Hotels in New Providence

A high rise (by Bahamian standards), glitzy complex, The Cove is an all-suite resort with 600 accommodations. Beside Paradise Beach, this is the place to be if you want amenities galore accessible via the wider Atlantis resort — particularly suiting fun-seeking families. It has a water park with 20 swimming areas, a nightclub, cinema, comedy club, a games room, the Mandarin Spa, a casino, golfing, scuba and snorkelling facilities and many restaurants, including the renowned, fine dining Nobu. The hotel itself houses three eateries; Fish by Chef Jose Andreas, Mosaic (a Mediterranean buffet) and The Cove Pool Café and Bar.

Set on five miles of pure white beach, this playground for the elite has been hosting guests since 1962. Inspired by the Palace of Versailles, The Ocean Club is surrounded by carefully manicured gardens, which include its own golf course. Some areas are multi-tiered, bursting with colourful bougainvillaea, koi filled ponds and statues, proffering views of the city harbour. Guests can dine at the French-Asian Dune, the Western-style Caribbean Ocean or take lighter meals in the Dune Bar and imbibe Bond-style in the Martini Bar. There’s also a Balinese spa, three pools and a 12th-century cloister.
