Bahamas Holidays - Travel Guide

The capital of the Bahamas is on Nassau, an island of tremendous vibrancy where Luxury hotels have hosted some very illustrious guests. Its much-prized sheltered harbour gave rise to stately Victorian mansions and cathedrals and impressive fortifications that still stand majestically over the harbour today, reminiscent of the age of piracy in the Bahamas.

The 3000 sq ft of fabulous sand at Cable Beach is lined with plush Hotels and lavish casinos, although tranquillity is never far away. Bahamas holidays are well suited to those who prefer a bit of palm-fringed seclusion, as there are miles of fine white sand beaches along the island’s perimeter.

Across the bridge to the aptly named Paradise Island, glamorous Hotels and casinos offer an exciting mix of tranquil exclusivity and lively nightlife in the midst of tropical splendour. On Grand Bahama Island you can enjoy the miles of gorgeous beaches whichever way you choose. Bahamas holidays are equally popular with those who prefer a bit of activity on the beach. Lucayan beach and Taino beach cater for water sports including windsurfing, parasailing, snorkelling and such like.

For a more secluded beachside experience there is miles of spectacular sand along the southeast and southwest coast of Grand Bahama just waiting to be discovered. Bahamas holidays offer even more away from the beaches. Casinos and buzzing nightlife, not to mention the duty free shopping are all part of this Caribbean-style utopia.

Book your Bahamas holidays around May or June when the Bahamas host a Caribbean muzik festival that starts with a vibrant street party kicking off a flurry of entertainment with plenty of local cuisine, dancing and the sounds of Reggae and Soca resonating through the streets. Lucayan national park is a 40-acre area of forests, rare wild flowers and remarkable limestone caves accessible from land and sea.

Port Lucaya marketplace is a typically Bahamian waterfront shopping complex where you can pick up some duty free goods including jewellery and arts and crafts. Bay Street, the main thoroughfare on Nassau is another good place to enjoy the atmosphere of a Bahamas holiday emanating from the historic buildings that line the way, and to pick up a few more bargains in the shops.
