Grand Lucayan, Bahamas and former Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort, has changed more than its name this season. “The new name gives a better sense of what the resort delivers, a truly grand Bahamian experience,” said Benjamin Davis, general manager of Grand Lucayan, Bahamas.

New culinary experiences and a diverse offering of activities provide guests with all the essentials necessary to create their dream “Grand Bahamian” vacation. Whether active travelers or beach bums, Grand Lucayan, Bahamas offers visitors something for each.

From small bites to gourmet fare, every palate is satisfied at one of nine dining establishments. Iries Bar offers live entertainment and now serves specialty handmade pizzas with one particular favorite island creation: Conch Salad Pizza.

Guests will also get a true taste of local cuisine with the resort’s new Bahamian Night every Friday night at Willy Broadleaf’s restaurant—buffet-style dinner includes fresh seafood and tasty delights such as Guava Duff (steamed guava pudding) and Bahamian Bread Pudding. 

The possibilities are endless at Grand Bahama’s jewel, as couples can personalize their nuptials or choose from any of the resort’s specialized wedding ceremonies. “For a Moment Like This,” Grand Lucayan’s signature ceremony is a grand way for family and friends to come together and celebrate a union. With every detail carefully planned, the guests-of-honor will be able to enjoy their special day without a care in the world. The resort’s award-winning wedding planner will work with couples to plan their dream wedding no matter the size or budget.

Each night at 6, guests can participate in Bahamian tradition with the Junkanoo parade consisting of colorful costumes and rhythmic dancing to the sound of goombay drums, cowbells and whistles. Junkanoo provides guests with a taste of this cultural extravaganza that takes place on Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and the summer throughout the Bahamas.

Visitors of all ages will enjoy the Bahamian festivities taking place right outside their doors.
