A Stone’s Throw Away

Top choice in Nassau


Talk about dramatic entrances: getting to this extraordinary B&B requires climbing steep stone stairs through a cliffside tunnel, after which you emerge in a tropical garden that’s like something out of a Merchant Ivory film. Burnished wood, worn oriental rugs, a rock grotto swimming pool: just lovely. Pet-friendly.
