Located on Long Island in the southern Bahamas, Stella Maris Resort Club, a  intimate plantation-style resort, occupies a garden estate on the north end of the island, just a stone's throw from the Atlantic shore.

The villas are scattered throughout a palm grove and nestled into a panorama of tropical foliage and a dramatic shoreline. There’s a view of the Atlantic from every room. You can chose from suites, one- and two-bedroom cottages, two- and three-bedroom villas and three- and four-bedroom bungalows (two have private pools). All the rooms are air conditioned and have ceiling fans. Plus, no matter where you stay, you’ll have either an ocean view patio or balcony. Rooms include refrigerators, coffee makers and hair dryers.

The Clubhouse has a full restaurant offering excellent international and Bahamian cuisine and the island’s largest selection of fine wines, for a more casual setting the Pool & Beach Bar offers informal alfresco dining, bar/lounge, game room, boutique, patios and there are three pools throughout the manicured grounds of the resort and seven hidden Atlantic beach coves.

When you vacation in a secluded island, you get a chance to experience unspoiled territory, where surprises – coral gardens – await you at nearly every turn. Stella Maris Resort encourages guests to explore on land and at sea. You’ll get plenty of choices to experience Long Island Bahamas exactly as you choose. Don’t want to leave the resort? Swim in one of the three pools. Want to be lazy? Rest in a hammock, and let the gentle ocean breeze and Caribbean sun lull you to sleep. Grab a beach chair under a cabana at Stella Maris Beach Cove. Be adventurous; take out a “sunfish” sailboat at Deal’s Beach, where you can snorkel (learn from on-site experts), or swim at the northwest coast, Cape Santa Maria Beach Reserve.
