The Bahamas

One country. So many ways to do it.

The Bahamas isn’t one destination. It’s a collection of islands and cays, each with its own rhythm, personality and reason to go. From glamorous resorts and private-island escapes to tiny settlements, pink-sand beaches and some of the clearest water on earth, choosing the right Bahamas matters.

Why we love it

The Bahamas changes completely from island to island.

Nassau and Paradise Island deliver major resorts, dining and plenty happening beyond the beach. The Exumas are all about extraordinary water and secluded cays. Harbour Island brings understated sophistication and its famous pink sand, while Eleuthera feels wilder and more spread out. Then there are the Abacos, private islands and lesser-known corners that create entirely different vacations.

That variety is exactly why we love it. We don’t start by asking which hotel you want. We start by figuring out which Bahamas you want.

The vibe: Barefoot. Beautiful. Effortlessly upscale.

What people come here to do

The water is the main event. Everything else depends on your island.

01

Spend the day on the water

Boating, sailing, snorkeling and disappearing into the cays are part of what makes the Bahamas extraordinary.

02

Find your beach

Powder-white sand, pink sand, lively resort beaches or stretches where you may barely see another person.

03

Island-hop

Sometimes the best Bahamas trip isn't one island at all. Air, ferry and boat connections make combining different experiences possible.

04

Go as social or secluded as you want

Big resorts, great restaurants and nightlife exist here, but so do intimate hotels, private islands and wonderfully quiet escapes.

05

Let the destination set the pace

Some islands are meant for exploring. Others make a very convincing argument for doing almost nothing.

How we’d design it

First, we choose your Bahamas.

01

Start with the island

Do you want energy and amenities, barefoot sophistication, spectacular boating, complete privacy or something in between? That decision shapes everything that follows.

02

Then choose where you’ll stay

A major luxury resort, boutique hotel, villa or private-island retreat can create entirely different experiences. We match the property to the trip, not the other way around.

03

Consider more than one

For the right traveler, we may combine islands. A few days somewhere lively followed by somewhere wonderfully remote can turn a simple Bahamas vacation into something much more interesting.

There’s more than one Bahamas. We’ll find yours.
