Bahamas

Just hearing the word ‘Bahamas’ conjures images of long stretches of beach paradise with a blue sky as clear as the aquamarine ocean. And a trip here will give you that and so much more. With over 700 islands making up this nation, there is something for every beach-based dream holiday. Whether you want a glamourous sunbake-by-day and party-by-night holiday, or to sail around between all of the islands, you can.

The capital of Nassau is a bustling and vibrant place with the raucous energy of shoppers, cruise-ship day-trippers, rum hounds and the memories of its swashbucking pirate days. Visit the Pirates of Nassau Museum for a taste of what it was like back in the 16th century.

The hundreds of bays and cays that make up the Exumas are the best backdrop for water sports lovers. Kayak, paddle board, windsurf, snorkel, sail – or do all of them over multiple days in this image of paradise! For the best diving head to Andros.

For a family holiday the casually quaint Out Islands have been revamped as the family-friendly destination. Don’t miss the stimulating Aquaventure in New Providence. It’s an aquaurium and adventure park all rolled into one.
