Bahamas Holidays

Bahamas Travel Guide

Made up of 700 picture-perfect islands and cays, holidays to The Bahamas are all about making the most of both the regions natural and manmade wonders - white sandy beaches, sapphire seas, enormous water parks, first-rate golf courses and impressive resorts and hotels.

The main island, Nassau, provides designer shopping, lively nightlife and glitzy casinos, whilst the archipelago's impossibly pure turquoise waters provide the backdrop for an array of aqua-based activities including sailing, snorkelling and scuba diving.

Cable Beach and Downtown Nassau, on Nassau island's north coast, are where you'll find many of The Bahama's best-loved all-inclusive resorts, including Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort and all new Baha Mar complex. Atlantis Paradise Island - which is home to the world's largest open-air aquarium and a 14-acre water park is well worth a visit even if you're not staying there.

Things to do in The Bahamas - The Highlights

Family holidays in The Bahamas

The Bahamas are an attractive family holiday destination, thanks to their safe, calm beaches and numerous child-friendly activities and hotels. As well as the waterslides, aquarium and dolphin encounters at Atlantis Paradise Island, the kids will love a day trip to the uninhabited island of Big Major Cay to swim with the famous Bahamas pigs. No one really knows how the pigs originally arrived at the island, but they live freely on the beaches and are very friendly, cheerfully greeting visitors who bring them treats. Other top family-friendly attractions in the Bahamas include the Pirates of Nassau Museum, and the inflatable water park and trampolines at Blue Lagoon Island.

Honeymoons in The Bahamas

On the flip side, Bahamas honeymoons tick all the romantic getaway boxes too, with oodles of powder-soft beaches and a good choice of adults-only hotels, where you can opt to stay on a private island, in a secluded waterfront villa or at an upmarket all-inclusive resort.

Whether you choose to stay in the busy mega-resorts of Nassau or seek the intimate, laid-back atmosphere of the outer cays, The Bahamas are a byword for indulgence, comfort and memorable holidays.

Best time to visit Bahamas

Weather in The Bahamas

The Bahamas is a good year-round destination, with average temperatures hovering around the mid-20s. The most popular time to go is from November - April. September - October see slightly higher rainfall, and the islands can be quieter at this time.

Nassau is a spring break holiday hotspot from March to Mid-April - so avoid unless you want to join in with the revelry and wild party atmosphere.

Junkanoo - a lively street parade with music, dancing and dazzling costumes - happens every Boxing Day and New Years Day. Co-inside your visit to soak up the intoxicating carnival atmosphere.

Dining in The Bahamas

From fine dining to casual eateries, you'll find all manner of culinary delights in the Bahamas. Local favourites include spiced conch, grilled chicken and tropical salsas, as well as international, Asian fusion, Mediterranean and American comfort food. Nobu at Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau is well worth a visit, dishing up outstanding Japanese fare. As with elsewhere in the Caribbean, fresh seafood features highly on most menus. Wash it all down with a fruit punch, coconut water or ice-cold local beer - Kalik or Sands.
