HISTORY & HERITAGE OF A STONE'S THROW AWAY

Steeped in Culture

Our gorgeous bed and breakfast is built in the traditional architectural style of the islands, with dark wood floors and ceilings, Bahamas colonial architecture, large patios that are perfect for reposing on, and lush gardens bursting with colorful blooms and tropical wildlife. Experience Caribbean culture like no other by stepping back into simpler times within our cool and inviting walls.

Relax and Unwind

On a hill high above the rest of Nassau, escape the hustle and bustle of big, crowded resorts and instead find relaxation in our private residence, which has just 10 special rooms for our guests. Our private balconies and verandas are furnished with comfortable chairs and sofas to nestle yourself into, and our historic hotel in Nassau also has a private pool and waterfall that is located within a lush and beautiful garden. We prioritize a laid-back lifestyle that puts slowing down at the forefront of all your vacation plans.

A New Perspective

Our resort is intended to help our guests unwind and relax. We command an unforgettable view of the sparkling blue sea below our property, and high limestone walls that offer privacy and quiet for your entire stay. The cheerful gurgle of our pool and fountain will soothe away the stresses of daily life, while our traditional Indian restaurant in Nassau, Bahamas, will nourish your soul with delicious, healthy meals. Above it all, we offer all those who stay with us a bird’s-eye view of paradise.

A Step Through Time...

A Stone’s Throw Away is a modern hotel that takes inspiration from the long and colorful history of the Bahamas. We officially opened our doors on December 7th, 2004. The original builders of the hotel were inspired by the classic Caribbean architectural style, with wide verandas, natural wood touches, shuttered windows, and cool, dark interiors. The decor is a homage to the history of the island, with historical photos of Nassau scattered throughout. In our garden, discover lush landscapes of native plants and flowers in addition to wild birds, butterflies, and adorable geckos. As you enter, you will see the large walls of natural limestone and coral that our property sits on, as well as the stone steps that have existed since the colonial era, and may well be over 2 hundred years old.

What's in a Name?

Rather than choosing something vague or impersonal, we chose to name our little piece of heaven 'A Stone’s Throw Away' because of its proximity to the airport for weary travelers to come to easily and quickly, as well as how close it is to the beach. Whatever direction you look in, respite and relaxation are only a stone’s throw away.
