The SLS Baha Mar Hotel opened its doors Nov. 21, welcoming guests to the $4.2 billion beachfront resort with 299 guestrooms. The property sits on 3,000 feet of white-sand beach and crystalline waters.

Available to guests are award-winning restaurants, nightlife venues and shared Baha Mar amenities, such as multiple pools, the largest casino in the Caribbean, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and ESPA spa. Two additional restaurant and nightlife venues are expected to open later in the year and into 2018 — Privilege and Skybar. Sbe, the developer behind the SLS brand, plans to open a separate nightlife concept, Bond, next month, with a New Year’s Eve grand opening.
