A family stay at Baha Mar creates an easy, high-comfort Bahamas vacation with built-in entertainment for little travelers. Shallow pools, hands-on wildlife encounters, kid-friendly dining, and a world-class water park keep young children happy from morning to bedtime. This 5-day itinerary lays out a smooth, low-stress schedule designed specifically for families with kids ages 2–8.

🏖️ Day 1: Arrival, Settling In, and Pool Time

Arrival at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar provides the most family-friendly layout and access to amenities. Families settle into their room, unpack, and head straight to the Turtle Pool, a shaded, zero-entry space ideal for small children. Dinner at The Swimming Pig delivers easy comfort food with a kids’ menu and coloring activities. The evening wraps up at the Fountain Show Plaza, where colorful lights and water displays keep little ones entertained before bedtime.

🍼 Family Essentials: Baha Mar supplies cribs, high chairs, and bottle warmers upon request.

🐠 Day 2: Beach Morning and Wildlife Encounters

Cable Beach offers soft sand and calm water, perfect for younger swimmers. A few hours on the beach lead into a late-morning visit to The Sanctuary, where children feed turtles, watch rays and nurse sharks, and explore hands-on enrichment activities suitable for ages 3+. Lunch options like Da’ Poke Bowl or the Conch Shack keep things simple. Afternoon downtime resets the kids before an evening visit to the nature trails or Baha Bay Beach Club.
🦩 Daily Flamingo Parade: A must-see highlight for families.

💦 Day 3: Baha Bay Water Park

A full or half-day at Baha Bay brings splashy fun designed for younger ages. Turtle Beach, the dedicated kids’ area, features mini slides, fountains, and shaded parent seating. Families float the lazy river together, enjoy soft-serve ice cream, and pause for snacks throughout the park. Afternoon crafts and themed activities at the Explorers Club (ages 3–12) provide an optional drop-off window. Evening downtime and easy dining help kids recover after their big water day.

👶 Water Gear: Water shoes, sunscreen, and spare clothes keep the day comfortable.

🐬 Day 4: Gentle Adventure at Blue Lagoon Island

A half-day outing to Blue Lagoon Island delivers a calm, kid-friendly adventure just a short boat ride from Nassau. Families observe dolphins and sea lions, explore a shallow beach, and relax with provided toys in a peaceful setting. The return to Baha Mar by early afternoon leaves plenty of time for naps or a swim at the kiddie pool. Dinner at Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House provides an elevated but family-welcoming meal.

🎒 Outing Essentials: Snacks, water, and sun hats keep the experience smooth.

🎨 Day 5: Crafts, Souvenirs, and Departure

The final morning includes a visit to the Kids Concierge or Explorers Club for crafts or a last photo moment. Handmade keepsakes at BahamaArt—such as straw baskets, painted conch shells, and flamingo plushies—make perfect souvenirs. A relaxed breakfast from Café Madeleine or Palms Café rounds out the morning before heading to the airport with tired, happy kids.

📦 Packing Tip: A waterproof bag keeps wet swimsuits and sandy toys contained for travel.
