What it is

Set astride two private white sand beaches with an infinity pool, two restaurants and a blufftop cocktail bar, an intimate spa and plush guest rooms.

What it isn't

Just about laying on the beach. Activities here range from sunset cruises complete with charcuterie and champagne to paddleboarding from the resort’s loaner fleet.

What we think

There is no “bad room” at The Cove, just as there are no bad views from its jaw-dropping—and completely pristine—beaches, where the water looks more like ombré turquoise glass. This is really, truly paradise. Oceanfront Rooms are more like private cottages, with their ginormous 750 square foot floor plans fitted in sumptuous style with 500 thread count bedding, spa-like bathrooms with dual sinks, Nespresso machines, and waffle robes perfect for raiding the mini-fridge. We adore the Oceanfront Two-Bedroom Villa for its proud perch over a private cove (and sprawling two-bedroom floor plan). Not planning on spending much time in your room? The 200-square-foot Bungalows are totally charming, ensconced in kamalame trees just a few feet from the water's edge.

You're here because

The resort fee includes myriad perks, including your first round of minibar snacks and drinks, watercraft rentals, sunrise and sunset yoga classes, loaner bikes and more.

The Moment

After lunching on local stone crab and artichoke dip and Bahamian conch fritters with calypso sauce at the hotel’s Freedom Restaurant and Sushi Bar, you feel like treating yourself to yet another indulgence: a spa day. Your treatment of choice? The Sun Salutation Body Wrap, with a sweet orange and grapefruit sea salt scrub and cherry blossom wrap. Bliss.
