The SLS Baha Mar Hotel opened on Nov. 21, welcoming guests to the $4.2 billion beachfront resort, which features 299 guestrooms along 3,000 feet of white-sand beach and crystal-clear waters.
Guests at SLS Baha Mar can enjoy award-winning restaurants and vibrant nightlife, plus access to shared Baha Mar amenities: multiple pools, the largest casino in the Caribbean, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and an ESPA spa. Two additional dining and nightlife venues — Privilege and Skybar — are scheduled to open later this year and into 2018. Sbe, the developer behind the SLS brand, will also introduce a separate nightlife concept, Bond, with a New Year’s Eve grand opening planned.

“The Bahamas is one of the most beautiful beach destinations on Earth and we’re excited to make it one of the best dining destinations,” said Sebastien Silvestri, senior vice president of food and beverage for sbe’s hotel division. “We’re collaborating with local talent and introducing elevated cuisine from around the world. Chefs—some visiting the island for the first time—have been inspired by Bahamian flavors and have infused them into progressive menus designed to surprise and delight our guests.”
Richard Alexander, general manager of SLS Baha Mar Hotel, added, “We are thrilled for this historic opening. The property complements the diverse offerings across Baha Mar. We’ve welcomed top Bahamian talent into the sbe family, and they bring the charm of the Bahamas to our promise of Style, Luxury, Service.”
Sam Nazarian, founder and CEO of sbe, said the opening marks a major step in the brand’s international expansion. “This is an exciting time for The Bahamas and our sbe team. The SLS footprint is growing, with 11 additional SLS properties in the pipeline. We’re proud to open our doors at SLS Baha Mar, including our first international Cleo with a new menu by award-winning chef Danny Elmaleh, and we look forward to unveiling the remainder of our restaurant and entertainment outlets soon. Throughout the property we aim to highlight Bahamian culture and redefine lifestyle hospitality. We’re honored to be part of the Baha Mar integrated resort and grateful for the warm welcome from the Bahamas community.”
