Hotel Compass Point Beach Resort (Nassau, Bahamas)

Founded by music mogul Chris Blackwell, Hotel Compass Point Beach Resort once boasted a guest list that reads like a who’s who of the music industry. Today, the colourful resort is a little quieter but still offers vacationers unique lodgings in a tropical setting. The resort is made up of rainbow-coloured cottages featuring private balconies or decks. All-white interiors contrast the colourful exteriors, with air conditioning and state-of-the-art sound systems included for good measure. Guests can enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool or hot tub. A beach is accessible at low tide, while a 120-foot pier juts out into the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. Windrose Spa is also located on site. The resort restaurant offers fresh fish and other Bahamian cuisine, as well as enchanting views from its clifftop perch. There’s also two bars on site. Nestled on the northwest shore of New Providence Island, Hotel Compass Point Beach Resort is about a 30-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Nassau.
