THE BAHAMAS
The Bahamas is more than just a beach destination, it’s a collection of unique islands, each with its own personality and pace. Whether you're exploring historic Nassau, sailing through the Exumas, or lounging on the pink sands of Harbour Island, you'll find that the Bahamas delivers both postcard-perfect views and rich, authentic experiences.
Nassau: History and Island Energy
The capital city of Nassau, located on New Providence Island, is a lively blend of colonial history and modern island life. You’ll find colorful architecture, duty-free shopping, and local markets like the famous Straw Market. Nearby Paradise Island is home to the iconic Atlantis Resort, complete with water parks, aquariums, and casinos, making it perfect for families and first-time visitors.
Exumas: The Ultimate Island Escape
The Exumas are a chain of 365 cays known for their secluded beaches, ultra-clear waters, and surreal beauty. This is where you’ll find the world-famous swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, as well as pristine sandbars, hidden coves, and the spectacular Thunderball Grotto, made famous by James Bond films. The Exumas are ideal for boating, snorkeling, and escaping the crowds.
Harbour Island & Eleuthera: Laid-Back Luxury
For travelers looking for charm and tranquility, Harbour Island and Eleuthera offer a slower pace and stunning scenery. Harbour Island is known for its pink sand beaches and chic boutique hotels, while Eleuthera offers natural wonders like the Glass Window Bridge and the Queen’s Bath.
