About

A Breakaway at
The
Bahamas

A must have on any Caribbean bucket list are the 16 main islands of The Bahamas. Whether you want to head for all out paradise at the world class resorts of Nassau & Paradise Island, take the eco-tourist trail in Inagua or see the swimming pigs of The Exumas, The Bahamas have some of the most awe inspiring sights on earth.

Imagine plunging 663 feet into Dean’s Blue Hole on Long Island, the world’s second deepest blue hole. Picture diving The Andros Barrier Reef, the third largest barrier reef in the world. Or visualise the mass of bright flamingo pink as you see one of the largest colonies of flamingos in the world. The ocean is a huge draw in The Bahamas with the chance to swim with dolphins or dive with sharks in the clearest waters you’ll ever see. From the hub of capital city Nassau, take your pick of the glorious islands of The Bahamas.

Relax in The Bahamas

There’s a certain rhythm to life in The Bahamas. Days are measured in swims, long lunches, warm sea breezes and sunsets rather than schedules. Whether you’re staying at a luxurious resort or escaping to a remote island, slowing down comes naturally here.

Island Escapes – Leave the crowds behind and discover quieter corners of The Bahamas, from secluded cays and hidden beaches to peaceful Out Islands where life moves at a gentler pace.

Barefoot Days – Spend your morning swimming in impossibly clear water, your afternoon stretched out on soft white sand and your evening enjoying fresh seafood by the shore.

Sunset Sailing – Take to the water as the day draws to a close, watching the sky change colour over the islands while the warm Bahamian breeze carries you into the evening.

Pink Sands Beach – One of the most distinctive beaches in The Bahamas, Pink Sands Beach on Harbour Island is famous for its blush-coloured sand stretching for almost three miles along the Atlantic coast.

Tropic of Cancer Beach – Found on Little Exuma, this peaceful stretch of white sand is known for its calm, crystal-clear waters and wonderfully secluded feel. It’s the perfect spot to escape the crowds and simply enjoy the Bahamian sunshine.
