DON’T MISS

When most people think of The Bahamas they imagine private jets, exorbitantly-priced houses and sunset boat parties. Harbour Island is the exact opposite; minus the houses, of course. Boasting a small population, this unfrequented Bahamian islet is most famous for its five-and-a-half-kilometre-long stretch of pale pink sand beaches which is uniquely coloured by a mix of broken coral, red rocks, and the red and pink she’lls of tiny marine creatures known as Forams. The length of the beach is decorated with beautiful villas, privately-owned holiday homes and minimal resorts. More often than not, you’ll have miles of flawless blue water all to yourself; ideal for luxury yachting.

The food in The Bahamas is an interesting mix of fresh seafood and American-style fried food, but one thing you don’t want to leave without trying is the Bahamian speciality of conch chowder, a delicious meal of cooked conch in a red or cream sauce. Normally served with bread on the side, this is a typical dish that many locals enjoy for lunch or dinner.

An often-frequented part of The Bahamas is Biminia chain of islands that are the closest district to the United States, just 80 kilometres off the east coast of Florida. A two-hour boat ride from Miami will drop you in a quaint part of the country that’ll give you the ultimate taste of the pristine beaches and welcoming hospitality that The Bahamas is so famous for. Known for being a fishing island, Bimini’s simplicity is alluring while also boasting a local nightlife that you wouldn’t expect.

The tiny island of Green Turtle Cay is a must-not-miss and easily accessible via private yacht charter. As it suggests, the island is often surrounded by green turtles and an array of other marine life like stingrays and vibrant fish. But the most exciting is the famous Bahamas pigs, who love to swim with visitors and have long been an attraction of this corner of the country.

Resort lovers who travel to The Bahamas for its bustle must not miss a visit to The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. The huge resort is home to a casino, the Dolphin Cay, six outdoor lagoons, a shark aquarium and a 141-acre waterpark called Aquaventure. It comes as no surprise that this is Nassau’s most popular tourist attraction.
