San Salvador Island
Club Med Columbus Isle
Cockburn Town, San Salvador Island, Bahamas
Popular with scuba divers and honeymooners, this all-inclusive beachfront resort covers almost 90 acres on the west coast of San Salvador Island. Catering to adults, the property includes an outdoor pool, oceanfront massage pavilions, and a wide range of activities, including biking, sailing, and windsurfing. Just offshore, the thriving coral and 80—150-foot underwater visibility also make for some of the best diving in the Bahamas. Housed in colorful two-story bungalows, the 236 rooms are designed with custom-made furniture, private terraces, and artwork imported from around the world. Three dining venues include an international buffet and a Bahamian seafood restaurant.
Room to Book:
Although they require more walking, outlying rooms provide the quietest stay, far from the central bars and theater.
Insider Tip:
Make sure to bring plenty of insect repellant; mosquitoes are often an issue, and the resort’s shop is small and overpriced.
