Stella Maris - "Star of the Sea" - Relax in our elegantly casual Resort Club. Very nice and Luxurious accommodations are attractively scattered throughout a magnificent palm grove, overlooking the Atlantic. You will be very comfortable in our air-conditioned rooms, all with fridge, coffee maker, ceiling fan and hair dryer and ocean view patio or balcony. Our villas and bungalows are nothing short of superb, some indeed luxurious... and some with private pool. Three hotel pools dot our manicured grounds, as do seven hidden Atlantic beach coves, nestled into a splendid panorama of tropical foliage and dramatic shorelines. Unwind at sunset parties and enjoy many daytime complimentary guest activities. Bikes can get you to any point of interest in Stella Maris, and our excursions and rental cars give you the entire island! Daily programs offer superb from-shore snorkeling and island sightseeing. Soak up some sun; take in the sea - 'The Cape', three miles of powder-white beach, a favorite of any boat and land excursions. Here the world is forgotten, time stands still. Also 'Deal's Beach' - dreamy leeside bay, simply perfect for easy sailing, or just strolling and wading, watching island-life drift by. Stella Maris fishing is of world class! Two shores offer lively reef, the finest of bone, and excellent blue water game fishing. Stella Maris is synonymous with scuba diving. Ours is one of the longest and best-established dive operations of the Bahamas. We specialize in guest-selected dive excursions. Long Island is uncrowded, socially stable and peaceful. It represents the "old" - the "Out Island" ways. It is hardly touched by modern tourism. Some 35 quaint villages and prosperous farming towns house some 3500 inhabitants, the island's main industries being farming and fishing. Points of interest are plantation ruins and Indian caves, historic churches and salt salinas, fish and shrimp farms and pineapple plantations. One visit will make Stella Maris your Island Home.
