The Island House

The Island House puts the stay in an eight-acre hilltop garden in Nassau, with ocean views to the north and island views to the south.

The Island House is a boutique hotel on Mahogany Hill, Western Road, in Nassau. The setting is part of the stay: the building sits in a garden estate rather than in the middle of the busiest hotel strip, and the property includes broad outdoor lawns along with indoor spaces for eating, relaxing, and gathering.

Rooms include flat-screen TVs, local art, and energy-saving automated lighting. Bathrooms are private and include a bath, a shower, a hairdryer, and Bamford toiletries, giving the room setup more detail than a simple sleep-only hotel room.

The stay works well on site because the hotel has a year-round outdoor pool, an 82-foot lap pool, a spa, a gym, a movement studio, squash and paddle tennis courts, a cinema, restaurants, a café, and WiFi throughout the property. Free yoga classes are available at the movement studio, and the hotel also has a 24-hour front desk.

For beach time, The Island House provides access to a nearby private beach with shuttle service, so the beach part of the stay is organized through the hotel rather than relying only on public access. Parking is available on the property, which is useful for travelers using a car in Nassau.

The Island House suits travelers who want a Nassau hotel with resort-style facilities inside the property, especially if the pool, spa, fitness spaces, cinema, dining, and private beach access matter as much as the room itself. The overall feel is more like a compact luxury boutique hotel than a large resort complex.
