As you might expect from a famed vacation destination, The Bahamas are rich in luscious beaches. But you’ll find much more on these islands than sand. Some of the clearest waters in the world, diverse aquatic life, and eclectic food (think conch salad and crab with rice) draw people from around the world!

Now that you have your reasons to visit, you need only arrange for your vacation rental in any one of the Bahamas islands of: New Providence (Nassau capital), Paradise Island, The Exumas, Bimini, Grand Bahama, Eleuthera or The Abaco Islands!

Cost & Expenses

The first thing you should know is that Bahama Vacation rentals vary significantly in price according to type and the number of people they sleep. To illustrate, a cozy cottage that sleeps two might start at $150 per night, while a beachfront bungalow can start at $450 per night. A custom-built home that sleeps up to 12 might start at $3,000 per night.

Keep in mind that whether you seek a luxury, all-inclusive rental or a simple, tasteful cottage, you’ll find exactly what you want in The Bahamas. With more than 700 islands of all sizes and landscapes, the entire region is enveloped in natural beauty. So any accommodation you choose is sure to offer breathtaking views and up-close encounters with nature.

Can’t-Miss Activities

You might be tempted to spend your entire vacation soaking up the sun and listening to waves lap against the shore. But you’d be remiss in not taking advantage of popular Bahamian activities like snorkeling, touring shipwrecks, and visiting one of three national parks on Grand Bahama Island.

Lucayan National Park, for instance, allows an epic opportunity to kayak through mangrove trees and explore one of the longest underwater limestone cave systems in the world. Likewise, visiting a private island offers the chance to swim with dolphins or rent a relaxing cabana. Visitors also love to engage in water sports, and equipment can be rented for the day.

Destination Spots

Occupying much of Paradise Island, the Atlantis resort complex is home to a golf course, casino, and multiple restaurants. The world’s largest open-air marine habitat is also here. Finally, the Atlantis offers five miles of beaches and 11 swimming pools, including a water park with:

• Eight waterslides
• A Mayan-themed water playground
• A lazy river

You don’t have to stay at this resort to enjoy its many features. Day passes are available for both children and adults, and many guests comment that simply watching various aquatic animals swim by is a pleasure.

Restaurants

Seafood often takes center stage in Bahamian cuisine. With that in mind, one of the first restaurants you might want to visit is Shannas Cove Resort on Cat Island. The chef provides a different three-course menu each night and uses locally sourced ingredients like red snapper and kingfish. And the decking area overlooks the aqua waters of the North Atlantic.

Complete with vintage black and white photos, a breezy oceanfront patio, and white tablecloths, The Dunmore on Harbour Island is lauded as the place to see and be seen. The menu features tasty dishes like Caribbean bouillabaisse, tuna tartare, and curry grouper. But you’ll want to save at least a little room for dessert, thanks to choices like rum-drenched banana fritters and coconut cheesecake.

Nightlife

You’ll find no shortage of nightlife spots in The Bahamas, such as the Bahama Boom Beach Club in Nassau. This venue hosts different themed parties every night, even on Mondays. Rum Runners in Freeport likewise offers indoor and outdoor seating with some of the best rum cocktails in the region. Live music also plays every night. Bones Bar, also in Freeport, offers a trifecta of delicious Bahamian cuisine, assorted drinks, and a fun, interactive atmosphere.

Shopping

The Bahamas are home to countless shopping destinations, including malls, flea markets, and boutiques. Festival Place, for instance, is decked in unmistakable orange, yellow, and white and features gifts, crafts, local arts, and food. Marathon Mall is home to specialty shops, fast food, a movie theater, and little boutiques.

Marina Village has the feel of a Caribbean open-air marketplace with palm trees and colorful architecture. Visitors enjoy more than 65,000 square feet of shopping and dining with high-end boutiques like Versace and Dooney & Bourke.

The Bahamas are a place like no other, and you should visit at least once in your lifetime to experience the carefree beauty and one-of-a-kind amenities.
