Why Families Love Baha Mar in the Bahamas
From toddlers to tweens (and yes—even teens), Baha Mar shines as one of the best luxury family resorts in the Caribbean. The property is huge in the best way, with a mix of adventure, downtime, and experiences that keep everyone happy.
The Explorer Kids Club is a favorite because it’s not just “childcare”—it’s actually fun. Kids get structured activities, themed sessions, and new friends, while parents get a true break (spa, beach, cocktail… pick your vibe).
Beyond the Kids Club, families love the resort’s Baha Bay Waterpark, interactive animal encounters at The Sanctuary, daily flamingo parades, and dining options that make every meal feel like a moment. Plus, there are plenty of accommodation choices that work really well for multi-gen trips.
What Is the Baha Mar Kids Club?
The Explorer Kids Club at Baha Mar is designed for children ages 3–12 who are potty-trained. It’s a safe, engaging space where kids get their own “vacation within the vacation” while parents get time to actually relax. It’s located at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar and offers a variety of themed sessions throughout the day—everything from cooking classes and crafts to games and movie time.
Every day brings something different, so it never feels repetitive. With caring, experienced staff, Explorer Kids Club is one of those things that can truly make a family trip feel effortless.
