It seems there’s no end to The Bahamas’ ability to reinvent itself as a playground for the discerning traveller. This October, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar will again polish its reputation for blending sun, sea, and sophistication with something altogether rarer: an authentic Glatt Kosher Sukkot experience.
For Jewish families seeking the warmth of tradition without sacrificing the cool breeze of Cable Beach, this is where faith meets five-star finesse. From 6–16 October 2025, the celebrated Nassau resort will play host to a Sukkot program that promises to be as sumptuous as it is spiritually satisfying.
A Feast Beneath the Sukkah
Forget the notion that kosher dining must be austere. At Baha Mar, kosher travellers will find themselves positively spoiled. The programme includes daily Glatt Kosher lunches and dinners served beneath the sukkah on the West Tower Terrace. Imagine dining al fresco with turquoise waters as your backdrop while the chefs from Cinko, Baha Mar’s acclaimed certified kosher Asian Latino restaurant, curate menus that delight both palate and tradition.
Good news for families: children under five dine free, youngsters aged six to twelve are catered for at a modest US$105, and adults eat at US$210. (Tax and gratuity, as ever, are not included.) Add an all-day coffee and tea service, and you begin to see why advance bookings are essential.
Luxury Without Compromise
Grand Hyatt Baha Mar is no stranger to catering to discerning tastes. The property already boasts a dedicated kosher kitchen, a kosher food truck for impromptu snacks, and even a kosher wedding specialist for milestone celebrations. But during Sukkot, the resort goes further, offering exclusive kosher meal packages paired with discounted accommodation rates for those booking between 6 and 16 October.
It’s the sort of fusion that makes you wonder why more luxury resorts haven’t cottoned on: the spiritual comfort of observing ancient traditions alongside the very modern pleasure of a freshly mixed Bahamian cocktail (non-alcoholic, if you please).
More Than a Holiday
For many Jewish families, Sukkot is about gathering under one roof—or in this case, one beautifully constructed sukkah to celebrate community, hospitality, and heritage. At Baha Mar, the “roof” happens to be crafted to five-star standards, just upstairs from Cinko, with the option of private group bookings for those who prefer intimacy.
The resort’s unique offering has turned it into something of a pilgrimage point for observant travellers who, in years gone by, might have been wary of combining luxury travel with kosher observance. The message is clear: there’s no need to compromise.
Booking with Purpose
Demand is brisk, as you might imagine. Space under the sukkah is limited, and Baha Mar is urging early reservations through its dedicated site here.
With the blend of discounted rooms, fine kosher dining, and Caribbean charm, it’s little wonder the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar has become a byword for Jewish holiday luxury. And as one veteran visitor was overheard to remark last year: “Why would you spend Sukkot anywhere else, when you can spend it in paradise?”
Conclusion
The message from The Bahamas is loud and clear: the world’s great holidays deserve great settings. Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, with its rare mix of tradition and indulgence, has once again put itself on the map as a premier destination for Jewish travellers.
Nassau is ready for those seeking to celebrate Sukkot with reverence, joy, and just a touch of island glamour. Bring your faith, bring your family, and remember to book early.
