Stella Maris Resort Club  

On Long Island in Stella Maris, Bahamas — a laid‑back out‑island beach resort about 150 miles south of Nassau. The property sits by the ocean and the Lucayan Archipelago, a short drive from Cape Santa Maria, for true off‑the‑beaten‑path island vibes.

Plantation‑style rooms are dotted through a lush tropical garden, from air‑conditioned rooms with balconies, tile floors and rattan furnishings to larger four‑bedroom waterfront villas and panoramic ocean‑view rooms. Rooms include mini‑fridges, coffee/tea makers, hair dryers and private baths with shower/tub combos, with daily housekeeping and simple island decor.

World‑class diving anchors the resort — one of the Bahamas’ longest‑running dive programs plus sites like Shark Reef and Conception Wall — alongside superb bonefishing, deep‑sea fishing and shore snorkeling. Enjoy three pools, a private beach, bicycles, small sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, daily snorkeling trips and weekly evening entertainment. Many daytime and evening activities are complimentary, so expect sea‑breeze mornings and barefoot nights.

Event facilities include conference space and meeting rooms plus a computer station and multilingual staff for small gatherings. Free self‑parking, laundry, concierge services and an airport shuttle (surcharge) are available to simplify logistics.

The Clubhouse serves regional Bahamian cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner with alfresco garden dining when weather permits. Grab lighter fare at the poolside Moonshine Bar or the beach bar, enjoy Bahamian nights and rake‑n'‑scrape music, and find children's and vegetarian options; limited room service is offered.
