Nassau’s Baha Mar is on everybody’s radar these days and we are going blow your mind this week with a pair of unique and distinctive luxury properties within that development - Rosewood Baha Mar and SLS Baha Mar. These lovely side-by-side resorts each have their own vibe, but are truly “birds of a feather” and if you are looking for 5-star services and an impeccable resort in an easy-to-reach destination, with every amenity and activity under the sun, we have found that for you!

Real-Time Retreats - The Unique Luxury Resorts of Baha Mar

This week, we will be “bird watching”! What fun fact can you share about our “fine feathered friends???” Or perhaps you can tell us a story about a fabulous human friend that you consider a kindred spirit. And of course, there are literally birds of a feather who do indeed flock together, so if you are inclined to find some plumage, feel free to go all in! Just get creative and come prepared to share - we consider the first 15 minutes of our call as “show and tell” for grown ups and there are prizes awaiting your efforts, so we hope that’s not being too much of a “birden.”

What’s your reward this week, you may well ask!? Our friends at Rosewood and SLS will EACH reward the person with the most creative examples of ‘birds of a feather flocking together’ with 2-night stays at their respective property!

And remember, the first five at 3:55 to log into the call (no earlier than 3:55pm) will win a special gift from our hosts, and Kelly McAlister will be on hand to gift someone with a fresh pair of Maui Jims!

BAHAMA MAMA

Each week, we attempt to provide you some things that will set the mood for our upcoming visit. This week, we’re stork raven mad over this fun stuff!

A playlist for this week!
A bird-themed playlist curated by (this is the cool part) Amanda Gallinat, a biologist who studies evolutionary drivers of species. (If that doesn’t work out for her, she could always be a deejay...)

Get your stretch on - we’ll be doing ‘Flamingo Yoga’ with the folks from the Sanctuary at Baha Mar. Yes, that is a thing.

And while we’re on the topic, here are 15 facts about flamingos.

Random if you don’t need it, but absolutely brilliant if you do: how to get a bird out of your house.

Don’t be such an idiom! Popular phrases like birds of a feather, and their meanings. Actually, BOAF didn’t even make the list... but these sure are fun to read.
