Sandyport Beach Resort and Community: Amenities and Lifestyle

Sandyport feels like home the moment you arrive. Whether you’re here for a vacation at Sandyport Beach Resort, enjoying the shops and restaurants of Sandyport Olde Towne, or settling into the main Sandyport community, everything is easy, breezy, and just a stroll from the water.

Sandyport Beach Resort captivates tourists with its relaxed island charm. But for those who call Sandyport home, it’s something even more special—a community where daily life feels like a permanent vacation.

Unlike most upscale communities in The Bahamas, Sandyport isn’t just about the beach and boat docks (though it has those too). It’s about convenience—grocery stores, restaurants, and top schools are all just minutes away. 

It’s a place where you can step outside, walk to your favorite café, or set off on a boat ride straight from your backyard.

Sandyport is one of the few places where island luxury feels effortless—whether you’re staying for a week or a lifetime. Let’s learn more about what makes Sandyport, Sandyport Beach Resort and Olde Town Sandyport such sought-after destinations—with Dupuch Real Estate as your guide.

What Makes Sandyport Attractive to Live?

Sandyport isn’t just another gated community—it’s a marina village that truly offers the best of island living. You won’t find another development in New Providence that combines affordability, a private beach, boat docks, amenities, and 24-hour security quite like this. 

Whether you’re here for a short stay or putting down roots, Sandyport is designed for both resort-style luxury and everyday convenience. Unlike other communities that focus only on vacationers, Sandyport embodies a true neighbourhood feel, albeit with private beach and marina access.

It’s where you can grab your morning coffee, run errands, and be back on the beach before noon.

Families love it here, and for good reason. Sandyport is one of the safest, most walkable communities on the island. 

Kids can bike to Tambearly International School without ever leaving the gates, and other top schools like Lyford Cay International, King's College, and Windsor School are just a short drive away. Whether you're raising a family or planning for the future, having top-tier education close to home makes all the difference.

With its seven swimming pools, six tennis courts, and direct access to the ocean, Sandyport blends relaxation with recreation. On weekends, you can set off for the Exumas or spend the day lounging by the water—experience life at the perfect island pace.

And since everyone’s after this lifestyle, demand for both short-term (Olde Towne) and long-term (Sandyport) rentals is always strong. Investing in Sandyport real estate isn’t just about finding a home—it’s about securing a piece of the best-kept secret in Nassau.

Sandyport Homes

Sandyport Marina Village is a 144-acre, master-planned community on the western end of Nassau’s Cable Beach. Divided into five residential subdivisions, including Island Lane and Nubruck House, the village features over 500 homes designed for relaxed, waterfront living.

The village has Georgian-Colonial architecture with pastel facades. Most properties are on navigable canals and waterways with direct access to the ocean. Unlike other upscale communities that require memberships for marina access, Sandyport residents have docks and private beaches in their backyards. 

Open-air balconies, spacious layouts, and breezy island architecture create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Security and maintenance are top-notch, so homeowners can relax and enjoy their lifestyle. 

Sandyport Beach Resort

Sandyport Beach Resort has a unique charm—the kind that makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. It’s no surprise that The New York Times highlighted it as a top pick in its “36 Hours in Nassau” feature. 

Built in 1995 with just 16 villas, it has since grown to 72 rooms, but it still feels warm and personal. Nestled along a private stretch of beach, it’s the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with soft white sand, turquoise waters, and plenty of space to unwind.

Resort Accommodations

The resort offers something for everyone, from cozy hotel rooms with queen beds to spacious suites with full kitchens and private porches. Guests can enjoy serene garden views, marina-facing rooms, or the stunning Grand Canal suites for extended stays. 

If you’re looking for something extra special, the Lagoon Beach Suite has a Jacuzzi and direct beach access, while the Studio One King Bed is a stylish retreat for couples.

Resort Amenities

Days here are filled with as much activity—or relaxation—as you like. Lounge by the pool, snorkel in the calm lagoon waters, or challenge friends to a game of tennis, shuffleboard, or beach volleyball. 

Kids love the waterslides, and hammocks are scattered throughout for the ultimate afternoon nap. Dining is effortless, with fresh seafood and tropical cocktails always within reach. 

For extra indulgence, you can enjoy a massage by the ocean or participate in water aerobics. With free Wi-Fi, a grocery shuttle, babysitting services, and even wedding planning, everything is designed to make your stay easy and unforgettable.
