Lucaya is a suburb of Freeport, Bahamas, a city on the island of Grand Bahama. The area was developed as part of the Grand Bahama Port Authority’s redevelopment of Freeport/Lucaya. While the western portion of Freeport was developed for industrial and commercial use, the eastern portion of Lucaya was developed as a residential and resort are.
The Lucayan Beach Hotel was opened in 1963 with its casino. This was quickly followed by the construction of a 500 room Holiday Inn, also at Lucaya, and the 800 room Kings Inn (later known as the Princess Hotel), also with a casino.
