Old Bahama Bay by Ginn sur Mer™ means beautiful waters, extraordinary beaches and incredible fishing all less than 65 miles from the coast of Florida.

Bobby Ginn has created yet another unique resort at the western tip of Grand Bahama island. True, the resort is some 26 miles, and maybe 40 minutes, from the golf courses at Our Lucaya, but so what? If you’re looking for seclusion, sparkling white sand beaches, breathtaking ocean views and incredible fishing (with a little golf on the side), then Old Bahama Bay by Ginn sur Mer™ might just offer the perfect getaway.

Old Bahama Bay by Ginn sur Mer™ is located in the historic village of West End, Grand Bahama Island - approximately 25 miles west of Freeport (and the golf courses) and approximately 64 miles due east of Palm Beach, Florida.

Old Bahama Bay is a peaceful, somewhat isolated, luxury resort set in the quaint fishing village of West End, Grand Bahama Island. Old Bahama Bay combines Bahamian charm with the high standards one has come to expect of Ginn Resorts.

I suppose this is what they’re talking about when they use the term Boutique Resort (I never could figure out exactly what they mean by that term). No, this is not a resort built on the “grand scale.” Everything at Old Bahama Bay is understated, except the level of luxury and service: there's the beach, of course, complimented by one heated swimming pool, 3 Restaurants, a spa, two Tennis Courts, a small fitness center, children's playground, and a range of water craft, including Hobie Cats and Sunfish Sailboats. You can take a Bone Fishing Trip, Deep Sea Fishing Trip, go scuba diving, snorkeling, and see the island wildlife in its natural habitat by taking an Eco Tours.

Room amenities include marble baths, soaking tubs, kitchens, Frette linens and pillow-top beds. You can even request your preference of either a ground floor room with a beachfront patio or a second story room with a terrace and stunning oceanviews.

Each room is an over-sized junior suite with custom designed furnishings, beachfront terraces, and breathtaking ocean views in every direction, Old Bahama Bay offers a holiday experience unlike any other.
