Come, relax in our elegantly casual Resort Club. Here the world is forgotten, time stands still. Enjoy many daytime complimentary guest activities and unwind at sunset parties.

Three hotel pools dot our manicured grounds, as do seven hidden Atlantic beach coves, nestled into a splendid panorama of tropical foliage and dramatic shorelines.

Accommodations are attractively scattered throughout a magnificent palm grove, overlooking the Atlantic. You will be very comfortable in our air-conditioned rooms, all with ocean view patio or balcony, fridge, coffee maker, ceiling fan and hair dryer. Our villas and bungalows are nothing short of superb, some indeed luxurious, and some with private pool.

Long Island is uncrowded, socially stable and peaceful. It represents the "old" - the "Out Island" ways, hardly touched by modern tourism. About 3500 inhabitants reside in some 35 quaint villages and prosperous farming towns. Points of interest are plantation ruins and Indian caves, historic churches, salt salinas, fish and shrimp farms, and pineapple plantations.

Bikes can get you to any point of interest in Stella Maris, and our excursions and rental cars give you the entire island!

Daily programs offer superb from-shore snorkeling and island sightseeing. Soak up some sun, take in the sea, enjoy the beaches: 'The Cape', three miles of powder-white beach, a favorite stop on any boat and land excursion; also 'Deal's Beach' - dreamy leeside bay, simply perfect for easy sailing, or just strolling and wading, watching island-life drift by.

Stella Maris fishing is world class! Two shores offer the finest of bonefishing and lively reef and blue water game fishing.

Stella Maris is synonymous with scuba diving. Ours is one of the longest and best-established dive operations of the Bahamas. We specialize in guest-selected dive excursions.

One visit will make Stella Maris your Island Home.
