Bahamas Holidays

From wandering along silky soft sands to paddling in the turquoise waters, Bahamas Holidays epitomise the essence of Caribbean relaxation.

Comprising 29 islands and thousands of cays and islets, you will be left wanting nothing on a holiday here. Spend your days sunbathing on the pink-sanded beaches, before taking a dip and exploring the aesthetic beauty of the subacquatic – snorkelling here is an absolute must. If beachside relaxation isn’t enough for you then there is plenty else to do here – make like the stars and visit the underwater caves featured in two Bond movies, play golf on Paradise Island, or swim with dolphins on Blue Lagoon Beach.

Luxury Holidays to the Bahamas

For many, the Caribbean begins with Bahamas Holidays. After all, we know that Christopher Columbus’s first landfall in the ‘new world’ was on the island of San Salvador (though historians aren’t in agreement whether this is the modern day island of this name, or one of its neighbours). Though Columbus left without making a permanent mark on these islands, the rest of history ensures that there is plenty to see and do. The Bahamas were the haven of Blackbeard and subsequently, the British; both piracy as well as colonial history inspire modern day attractions, including monuments and museums.
