Holidays to Bahamas

If you’re looking for variety in the Caribbean, Bahamas Holidays are among the best that this colourful region has to offer. Stretching alongside the east coast of Florida down towards the large islands of Cuba and the Domincan Republic, the Bahamas are a commonwealth nation of 29 islands and several thousand cays and islets. The Bahamas are perhaps the archetypical Caribbean holiday destination: named after the shallow waters that of much of the chain, this is a paradise dotted with desert islands and longer stretches of reef-encircled, pink-sanded beach.

For many, the Caribbean begins with a Holiday in the Bahamas. 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 and both piracy and colonial history inspire modern day attractions, including monuments and museums.

Luxury Holidays to the Bahamas

First and foremost, however, your holidays to the Bahamas will be about exploring overwhelming natural beauty. The beaches are precisely what travellers expect of the region, the coral reefs ideal for divers of all proficiencies. Activity above the water is also world class: kayaking, water skiing, jet skiing, windsurfing and fishing are all popular among locals and tourists alike. Grand Bahama is the ideal island for those who want to see this side of the Caribbean, with nature centers and national parks on land.

The islands of the Bahamas each have an individual character worthy of discovery. The capital islands are New Providence and Paradise Island, and it’s here that you’ll find many of the casinos and duty-free shopping malls. The Aquaventure water park will be essential for families and thrillseekers of all ages.
