A smattering of more than 700 islands and 2,400 cays stretching southeast across the North Atlantic, the Bahamas provide a blueprint for island escapes. And despite the archipelago’s attitude of escapism, Bahamas holidays are surprisingly accessible, reached via a one-hour flight from Miami. Nassau is the country’s capital and cultural epicentre, where you’ll find upscale cocktail bars rubbing shoulders with beach shacks serving fresh conch salad, fried fish and the local drink of choice, ‘sky juice’ (a blend of gin, coconut water and condensed milk). During your Bahamas holiday, head to Harbour Island for beachfront bliss,
where rose-tinted sands grace the shores along Pink Sands Beach and similar pastel hues can be seen adorning the houses of Dunmore Town. The Exumas, situated slap-bang in the centre of the island chain, plays host to the country’s richest reef ecosystem and is a haven for avid divers and sea life lovers. For away-from-it-all holidays, Conception Island remains relatively untouched by tourists, with its pristine coastline and wildlife-filled shallows, home to green turtles and abundant coral gardens. Combine Bahamas holidays with time spent in Florida, for a balance of cosmopolitan city life and laid-back sun lounging.
