Bair’s Lodge is located on the eastern side of South Andros Island. Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas, and one of the least developed. The island is divided by inland creeks and large channels called bights. The lodge is an easy 25-minute drive from the airport in Congo Town. Situated between Deep Creek and Little Creek, we’re within striking distance of vast inland flats, with the option of running south or through the island to the fabled West Side.
