Baha Mar - The Caribbean’s Largest Resort Announced

January 16, 2007 – 10:00 am

The Bahamas are a very popular destination resort. It’s no surprise, really. The country’s proximity to the US, the generally favorable climated, and the beautiful white sand beaches are the types of things travellers dream about. Well, now a massive new complex has been announced to try and keep Bahamas in the lead as a destination.

According to the joint venture agreement, Baha Mar Resorts and a subsidiary of Harrah’s Entertainment will jointly own the previously announced Baha Mar — a mixed-use project to be located in Nassau, Bahamas on a 1,000- acre site — making it the largest destination resort in the Caribbean. Baha Mar represents a unique structure for the hospitality and gaming industries and calls for a phase one investment of more than $2 billion.

This promises to be one massive development. Expect state of the Art gaming and world class facilities to boot.

Hightlights of the structure:

1) 3,000 Guest Rooms! Plenty of room for all.
2) Lush, natural landscapes and waterscapes and Caribbean-inspired architectural elements that evoke the area’s Colonial, European and African influences

3) Starwood’s Bliss and Remede branded luxury spas at the W and St. Regis, respectively; a third, full-service luxury spa facility
4) An 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course - this will be a championship-quality course in Nassau
5) A distinctive show-lake experience
6) 200,000 square feet of meeting space
7) A 20-acre beach and pool experience with 3,000 feet of continuous beachfront
8) A retail village with upscale shopping, chef- branded restaurants, and entertainment venues.

You get the idea. This promises to be one of a kind. We’ll report on this project as we know more.
