A Stone’s Throw Away

A Stone’s Throw Away sits on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, giving the Nassau stay a strong sense of sea-facing height rather than a standard roadside hotel setting.

A Stone’s Throw Away is a boutique-style hotel in Gambier Heights, off West Bay Street in Nassau. The building follows the look of an old Bahamian home, with wood floors, wood ceilings, louvered shutters, and a large wraparound porch, so the stay feels more residential and island-house-like than a large resort.

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and safes. The suites add sitting areas, whirlpool tubs, and ocean views, and some rooms have balconies, giving travelers a choice between a simpler room setup and a more spacious stay with a stronger view element.

The stay works well for travelers who want useful facilities on site. A Stone’s Throw Away has an outdoor pool, complimentary parking, a restaurant with a terrace and ocean views, a bar and lounge, a garden, and a TV lounge. Breakfast is available in the building, with a continental setup that includes coffee, tea, juice, bagels, toast, muffins, cereal, yogurt, and seasonal fruit.

The location is on the west end of New Providence, near the airport side of Nassau, and the property is also five minutes from Cable Beach. It is also set close to Love Beach by car, which helps if the stay is meant to combine a quieter elevated base with easy beach access.

The main limit is transport: there are no nearby transit options listed for the hotel area. That makes the complimentary parking and the airport-side location more important if you plan to move around Nassau during the stay.
