Find Your Perfect Stay in The Bahamas

Nassau

With direct flights to Nassau and an array of wonderful resort options, Nassau is a great place for a quick beach getaway.  For the best beach, head to the popular Cable Beach, which looks as though you’ve stepped into an idyllic screensaver.  

Baha Mar is about 20 minutes from the airport and has three hotels, many restaurants, a gorgeous beach, several pools (one with a fish tank in it), kids clubs, flamingos, food trucks, a new water park and so much more.

A bit farther from the airport is Atlantis, a resort with many hotels. There is a lazy river that runs through the resort and a water slide that runs through a shark tank.  

Near Atlantis, you’ll want to check out Cabbage Beach, a family-friendly beach where you can walk 300 feet and escape the sun worshippers and tourists that clog up the more well-known beaches.  

All the way at the end of the appropriately named Paradise Island is the Ocean Club Four Seasons. Set on 35 acres of gardens, this hotel has stunning beaches and a martini bar perfect for ending the night. 

Once you’ve soaked up enough sun rays, make a visit to the Queen’s Staircase in Nassau. This 66 step walkway was carved out of solid limestone between 1793 and 1794. Notably, the Queen’s Staircase looks more like a magical jungle than a staircase as it features cascading water and verdant plants flanking its steps.

Eleuthera & Harbour Island

If you are looking for a quieter vibe, try the stunning island of Eleuthera or Harbour Island. Eleuthera boasts stunning beaches, some great for surfing and kite surfing and some entirely still.  

There are plenty of water activities from snorkeling and diving to kayaking and paddle boarding, and all kinds of fishing too. You will need a car to explore the beaches, or you can explore by boat and then unwind at night at the Cove, a delightful resort with excellent sushi and mixed drinks.

Looking for a pink sand beach?  Then head to Harbour Island and stay at the Dunmore or the Coral Sands. This island is easy to explore on foot or by golf cart, which you can rent at the boat drop off. You will be entirely charmed by this island which has a loyal following – many who come back year after year!  

If you head to Harbour Island just for the day, you can rent an umbrella and chairs at Mrs. V’s, located between The Dunmore and The Ocean View Club beaches. You can also rent paddleboards, kayaks, kids toys and more.
