About Sandals Royal Bahamian

Watch our quick resort overview:

Be prepared for 24-hour a day fun and activities. Eleven on-site restaurants will elevate your dining experience and eight bars serve unlimited premium liquor while you enjoy the Bahamian nightlight. The Piano Bar, with its sing-along and live jazz, and the English Cricketeer Pub, are known for their joie de vivre at any hour. As are the two bars by the pools.

At Sandals Royal Bahamian, you’ll have your choice of a variety of comfortable rooms with a stocked minibar. For the ultimate in luxury, the top-tiered suites offer white-gloved butler service. Your private, 24-hour-a-day butler will see to your every comfort and arrange for needed transportation in a Rolls Royce. Boost your honeymoon a notch with some added pampering that only a butler can provide. From private, candlelit dinners to reserved cabanas, your private butler will arrange it all. Spoil yourself even more with the luxurious spa treatments – including an indulgent couple’s massage – at the Red Lane Spa.  

What is now known as Sandals Royal Bahamian used to be (prior to undergoing a complete renovation in 2011) the exclusive Balmoral Club. It was where the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Beatles, and other elite partied. A few remnants of the popular club can still be seen, such as the marvelous chandelier in the Baccarat restaurant. The old Balmoral Club is now the Balmoral Tower and hold’s most of the resort’s elite butler suites. 

If you need a vacation from your vacation, Sandals Royal Bahamian can provide that for you. Take your own launch, or have the resort ferry deliver you, to its own nearby private island for more adventure. You’ll find two hidden beaches, where you can simply relax, swim, or enjoy some snorkeling in the blue Bahamian waters. The Beach Club offers a pool with a whirlpool and its own swim-up bar. Relax in a private cabana or stroll through the private island’s Zen garden hand in hand. If Paradise was ever lost, this is where it went, and you’ve found it. Don’t leave the private island before enjoying some of the best seafood in the area.

The Sandals Royal Bahamian resort is indeed a tropical Paradise. It’s where the memories of a lifetime are made.

Kimonos

Surround yourself with some Far East Zen and decide which is more fun – the Japanese food or the chefs playing their knives games at the table.

Nassau City Seeker

The tour will include much of Nassau, such as restaurants, stores, churches, art galleries, etc. But this is more than merely an exploration of Bahama’s history.

You will find all locations on a map that will be provided, so you just need to follow the trail. 

Swimming with the Pigs

Spend the day playing with pigs. We’re talking the snouted variety. These pigs in Exuma Cays are famous, and they know it. The little hams (no pun intended) will swim with humans and expect to be fed for providing the pleasure of their company. The beach is breathtaking, and the pigs are sheer fun. Your own delicious lunch will be provided.
