Experience Baha Bay: A Luxury Water Park in the Bahamas

A $200 million luxury water park just opened in the Bahamas, and it might be the most beautiful one in the world. As an extension of the luxury Baha Mar resort in Nassau, Baha Bay, the 15-acre beachfront water park, offers family-friendly fun and delicious food in a stunning oceanfront setting. We took a look inside this new location — and it did not disappoint.

Fun for the Whole Family

There’s truly something for everyone at Baha Bay, from kids’ areas designed for younger guests to thrilling water slides for teens and a casino gaming pavilion for adults. Guests of all ages will love the 500,000-gallon wave pool and 1,400-foot action river, surrounded by lush greenery. Furthermore, there are 24 total slides, two uphill water coasters, and a FlowCurl surf simulator — all ideal for guests who want to add excitement to their Bahamas vacation.

Relaxation and Scenic Views

When you’re not racing down slides or splashing around the wave pool, the 30 VIP cabanas and splendid Baha Bay Beach Club — with two picturesque infinity pools overlooking the beach and tons of palm tree-shaded places to lounge — offer the perfect spots to relax and soak in the Bahamian sunshine. As experience in water parks shows, I can’t think of one that’s quite as beautifully themed and landscaped as Baha Bay. The park draws on its beautiful setting — the breathtaking Bahamas — with tasteful and upscale theming, reflecting the area’s natural beauty through shades of green, blue, and sand. Moreover, the friendly staff enhances the luxurious feel, creating a water park ambiance ideal for a five-star resort.

Culinary Delights

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you can expect more than the standard water park fare of chicken nuggets and fries. Instead, think Southern California cuisine served alongside ocean views at 25 Degrees North, delicious burgers at Umami Burger, and even more options coming soon at The Market, which will include a plant-based Plant Nation outpost. Of course, guests are also just steps from the resort’s many other eateries, which range from food trucks and beach bars to French cafes and fine dining at Café Boulud, as well as the brand-new Marcus at Baha Mar.

Exclusive Access for Guests

Guests staying at one of Baha Mar’s three oceanfront hotels — the Rosewood, SLS, and Grand Hyatt — get exclusive and unlimited access to Baha Bay during their stay. Consequently, they can enjoy the park at their leisure. Of course, there’s plenty to do on property, and guests won’t want to miss lounging on the stunning white sands of Cable Beach or floating in the clear, turquoise waters. Furthermore, several pools, each with its own vibe, are available — some designed for relaxation with swim-up bars, while another features a grotto with views into an aquarium. Inside the main resort building, you will also find the Caribbean’s largest casino. Beyond the luxe amenities, Baha Mar offers the luxury of choice — with so many food and entertainment options, guests can craft their perfect beach vacation.

Health and Safety Protocols

The resort also offers travelers peace of mind during these ever-changing times, thanks to its Travel With Confidence program. The hotel has implemented several COVID-19-related protocols. However, should a guest test positive during their stay, the resort will facilitate their quarantine in a courtesy suite with a daily dining credit or provide private air travel back to the U.S.
