The Bahamas mean different things to different people - quite understandable when you discover the chain consists of more than seven hundred islands scattered across 100,000 square miles of Atlantic Ocean. And
whilst the swaying palms, curving beaches and turquoise waters are everywhere you look, if you’re really seeking a laid-back lifestyle and only the occasional footprint in the sand, don’t linger too long in fast-paced Nassau or Paradise Island, but head straight for ‘Out Islands’ like Andros, The Exumas or The Abacos.

These are real naturalists wonderlands, their deserted coral sand beaches enhanced by crystal clear waters offering some of the best snorkelling, bone fishing and deep-sea fishing anywhere in the world. The Exumas actually consist of no less than 365 different cays and islets, whilst Andros is the largest but least explored island in the entire archipelago. It is also flanked by the second largest reef in the Northern Hemisphere and should be top of your list if you’re a keen scuba-diver.

To really get the most out of your visit to The Bahamas, however, consider combining different Out Islands with each other. We would also be happy to arrange a few days in a luxury hotel in Nassau or even organise a
‘shopping’ stopover on the east coast of Florida. It is also worth paying attention to the winter temperatures here – days often reach no higher than the early 70’s and nights can drop to around 60 degrees.
