Need to know

Baha Mar offers over 40 unique restaurants, bars and lounges, providing a wide range of culinary experiences.

Where to eat and drink

  • Café Boulud: French-inspired menu by Chef Daniel Boulud. Definitely order the Exuma cocktail, their take on a guava margarita. It was by far the best cocktail I had on the property.

  • Katsuya: The best sushi spot at the resort, offering fresh and expertly crafted rolls.

  • Carna Steakhouse: If you have a large group, this is a great option. They have a private dining room and an excellent tasting menu to match. Pleasing a group of 30 is no easy task, but they pulled it off flawlessly.

  • Costa: Best for Sunday brunch, served in cozy cabanas over a serene koi pond — perfect for a relaxing weekend meal.

  • Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House: A vibrant, oceanfront spot featuring fresh seafood, dry-aged cuts, and creative cocktails, all inspired by Bahamian culture.

  • Swimming Pig: For a relaxed pub atmosphere, perfect for lunch or dinner, their burgers are excellent.

  • The Manor Bar: An upscale, intimate cocktail bar, ideal for pre- or post-dinner drinks in a refined atmosphere. The best spot to order an espresso martini, sit back and enjoy the music.

  • Sky Bar at SLS: Opens at 6 pm, offering an incredible spot on the 20th floor to catch the sunset while enjoying craft cocktails and stunning views.

Activities you can enjoy on the property

  • Baha Bay Waterpark: Features 24 slides, a wave pool, lazy river and a surf simulator.
