Description

Tropical beaches

Pristine, powdery sand stretches as far as the eye can see, on the beautiful beaches of the Bahamas. Here the sun shines (almost) every day, thanks to the islands’ tropical location where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. For an extraordinary natural wonder unlike any other it’s worth an excursion to Harbour Island to bask on its pink sand beaches. The sand gets its distinctive tint from the crushed shells of tiny marine creatures inhabiting its coastline.

Marine life

The crystal-clear shallow waters of the Bahamas are teeming with a rich diversity of marine life, making this the perfect location for snorkelling and scuba diving. As well as tropical fish, sea turtles, dolphins and sharks, the waters around the Bahamas are also home to the world’s third largest coral reef. 

Tick one item off your bucket list when you swim with dolphins on Blue Lagoon Island, an experience you’ll never forget. Or venture to Big Major Cay in The Exumas, to get up close to the island’s famous swimming pigs!

Island hopping

The Bahamas is an archipelago made up of over 700 islands, most of which are completely uninhabited. Catch a ferry from Nassau to the unspoilt “Out Islands” and experience the deserted wilderness of these stunningly secluded beauty spots. The sheer number of islands, and the variety of natural wonders they contain, means there’s always something different to do and see. 

Local arts and culture

Junkanoo – meaning “Spirit of the Bahamas” – is key to Bahamian cultural life. This vibrant and colourful festival held in Nassau over Christmas and New Year is famed for its parades packed with colourful costumes, rhythmic dance and drum-dominated beats – the Bahamian version of a carnival. If you’re not there for the festivities, you can still take away a handcrafted souvenir inspired by Junkanoo. During your stay in the Bahamas you’ll be treated to some mouthwatering fresh local cuisine, including conch fritters and baked crab. 

Nassau

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas and the only city in the archipelago. Its pastel-coloured buildings, busy open air markets and vibrant nightlife belie the city’s historical past as the centre of pirating back in the 18th century. It’s not hard to see why the coves and shallow waters of these small islands were so attractive to pirates, with so many secluded hiding places for their treasure.

Nowadays, the only bounty on the islands belongs to nature, although it’s still possible to visit the ruins of Blackbeard’s Tower, a local lookout point from the Golden Age of Piracy, and learn more about the islands’ buccaneering past at the Pirates of Nassau Museum.

Multi centre Bahamian breaks

Being so close to the USA (just 50 miles from the coast of Florida), the Bahamas make a perfect location for a multi centre break. Why not combine your trip with a city break in New York? After the larger-than-life experiences the Big Apple has to offer, you’ll be ready to chill out and relax at a slower pace on these amazing islands.
