The Island House
NASSAU, BAHAMAS
The Island House brings the outside in through contemporary, stylish communal spaces and generously planned guestrooms with a focus on personalized service. Our studio created an environment where guests feel as if they are in their own private island home, imbued with a strong sense of individuality and local personality. Our goal was to create a residential hotel experience with presence, where guests can move fluidly throughout the property, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living spaces.
A strong sense of individuality and local personality.
Our design incorporates local materials such as light-colored coral stone and Pecky-cyprus, a material commonly used throughout the Caribbean for roof and ceiling structures. Additionally, a collection of art by local artists anchors public spaces such as the Living Room, Shima restaurant and outdoor venues. Champalimaud also treated the lighting fixtures as artistic sculptures in their own right, commissioning Solomon & Wu to create decorative pieces that both complement and accentuate each space.
There’s a true sense of comfort, relaxation, and place.
The Island House provides a personalized Bahamas experience.
Unique programming embodies the local spirit of the island, a place of celebrated food, esteemed art, and overall well being. The hotel’s signature attributes include: The Bamford Spa with a fully authorized AntiGravity Yoga program, movement studio, squash and paddle courts, a 48-seat art house cinema, and a variety of dining choices including two restaurants and a cafe featuring open-air experiences with fresh, lively Southeast Asian and Caribbean flavors.
