The Sands ★★★
Queen's Highway, Cockburn Town, San Salvador, The Bahamas · Show on map · 2 min from San Salvador Airport (ZSA)
The Sands sits right on the water along Queen's Highway in Cockburn Town, a two-minute drive from San Salvador's airport. Fourteen air-conditioned rooms and suites look out over the sea, each with its own dining area, a full-size fridge and a coffee maker, so slow breakfasts on the porch come easy.
Swim and snorkel straight off the beach, book a massage at the spa, then end the day at the bar or on your porch as the sun drops into the ocean. The restaurant, pool and bar are all on site, and we collect you from the airport for free, day or night.
Here to fish? Wahoo Fishing Charters runs offshore, reef and bonefish trips from the marina next door, and you can add a charter to your stay when you book.
