Review

Directly adjacent to the St. Regis Bahia Beach is a series of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, townhouses and Estancias. All are privately owned, but only a few are offered as vacation rentals. Indagare members can contact our Bookings Team to check availability.

The St. Regis’s Molasses restaurant and golf pro-shop sit on a slightly elevated platform on the far eastern end of the property, marking the end of the area designated for hotel guests only. Directly in front of the two buildings, the Bahia Village and Beach Club is being constructed on gradual steps leading down to the water.

About half of the accommodations offered to rent are condominium-style units located in Las Verandas. Units are two- or three-bedrooms or a ‘penthouse,’ which has three bedrooms and a family room. Entrances to the Las Verandas condos face the interior pool area and smaller clubhouse designated for residents, while most bedrooms overlook the course. Additionally, a small selection of two- and three-bedroom condominiums in the Las Ventanas area and a couple of townhouses in the Las Olas section are offered as vacation rentals.

While owners have the option to choose design elements such as wall hangings and bedding, the base décor, featuring neutral sand, wood and tree bark tones and state-of-the-art kitchens and bathrooms, is consistent throughout the residences. Most bedrooms have private or en suite bathrooms and all residences have private outdoor space equipped for grilling.

Unit owners and their tenants have access to the pool and clubhouse near Las Verandas, complimentary entry to the bird sanctuary, a concierge service and their own beachside club. However, only owners and tenants of the Estancias can purchase a limited number of entry passes to the St. Regis pool and that is the extent of their guest privileges.

The Bahia Village & Beach Club, completed in October 2014, brings more of what is missing from the rental experience.
