One of the happiest surprises of staying with us is how wonderfully easy we are to reach. A Stone's Throw Away sits perched on a historic bluff in the village of Gambier, on the quieter western end of New Providence — and yet we are only about ten minutes from Lynden Pindling International Airport. You can step off a plane and be sipping a welcome drink in our garden, gazing out at the turquoise sea, before you have fully shaken off the journey. Here is how to find your way to our tranquil corner of the Bahamas.
From the Airport to the Inn
The journey to us is refreshingly simple, especially compared to the more remote Out Islands. Nassau's Lynden Pindling International Airport is the main gateway to the Bahamas, with abundant direct connections from across North America and beyond, so getting here is straightforward. From the airport, it is just a short, roughly ten-minute drive to the inn on the western end of the island — a quick transfer that belies how secluded and peaceful the setting feels once you arrive. We are glad to help arrange your transfer so the final leg is completely effortless.

A short drive from the airport, then up the garden path to another world entirely.
That combination of accessibility and seclusion is the inn's quiet magic. Despite being so close to the airport and the conveniences of Nassau, A Stone's Throw Away feels worlds removed from the bustle — tucked above West Bay Street on its historic bluff, wrapped in lush gardens, with the sea on one side and tropical greenery all around. It is the best of both worlds: the ease of reaching a major gateway, paired with the serenity of a hidden hideaway on the island's calmer western shore, away from the crowds and the cruise-ship throng.

Once you are here, the western end of New Providence and all of Nassau's attractions are within easy reach, giving you the freedom to explore as much or as little as you like. The quieter beaches of the west, like nearby Love Beach, are just minutes away, while the livelier strips of Cable Beach, the historic charm of downtown Nassau, and the island's cultural and natural sights are all an easy drive. You can venture out for adventure and culture by day and retreat to the peaceful bluff by evening — the ideal balance.

A few practical notes for a smooth arrival: have the documents required for international travel to the Bahamas in order before you go, and let us know your arrival details in advance so we can coordinate your transfer and welcome. The western end is more residential and serene than the tourist centers, so plan for a relaxed pace and consider arrangements for getting around if you wish to explore widely — we are happy to advise. Pack for sun, sea, and a touch of bluff-top breeze, and bring your appetite for our Bombay Café.
Planning Your Visit
A little planning makes arriving at the inn wonderfully smooth, and the convenience genuinely surprises first-time guests. Despite the inn's tucked-away, worlds-removed feel atop its historic bluff in the village of Gambier, we're only about ten minutes from Lynden Pindling International Airport — so you can step off a plane and be sipping a welcome drink in our garden before you've fully shaken off the journey. We're glad to help arrange your transfer from the airport so your arrival is effortless; just let us know your flight details in advance. Pack in island-casual layers, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat, and you'll be set for the warm western shore. Once you're here, you'll find the best of both worlds: a peaceful, private retreat above the sea, yet with the beaches, the city, and the island's western wonders all within easy reach. That combination — a serene hideaway that's also remarkably convenient — is one of the inn's quiet gifts, and a big part of why guests find it so easy to relax the moment they arrive. The short drive from the airport, then the winding garden path up to the bluff, becomes the threshold between the ordinary world and your island escape. We're delighted to help make it seamless.
Despite the convenience, the inn feels like a genuine retreat from the moment you arrive — up the garden path, onto the historic bluff, and into another, gentler world. The beaches, the city, and the island's western wonders are all close at hand, but so too is a deep sense of peace. Let us help make your arrival seamless, and your stay effortless.
