Escape to


this winter


Nassau & Paradise Island provide the perfect backdrop for a winter-sun escape


S


wathes of ivory sands studded with palms blanket much of Nassau & Paradise Island, the


duo of Bahamian islets enveloped by the turquoise waters that are synonymous with the Caribbean. And with not so much as a rain cloud in sight, it’s no surprise that this dreamy double act is top of many travellers’ wish lists for a winter-sun getaway. What’s more, beyond the beach,


Nassau & Paradise Island have much to showcase in the way of history, making the destination an ideal choice for clients wishing to combine a bit of R&R with a generous dose of Bahamian culture.


MORE TO EXPLORE


With such a stunning shoreline, it’d be rude not to spend some time soaking up the rays on one of Nassau & Paradise Island’s famous beaches. Divers should head to Love Beach, where 40 acres of protected coral and hordes of tropical fish can be spotted beneath the surface. Cable Beach is a buzzier spot, with plenty of space for sunbathing on the two-and-a-half-mile stretch of coastline and all manner of watersports on offer. Thrill-seekers can also venture


beyond the shoreline on a snorkelling or parasailing excursion, or visit one of three water parks – Baha Bay at Baha Mar, Aquaventure at Atlantis


Paradise Island and Fins Up at Margaritaville Beach Resort. The heart of Nassau is the place to go


to get acquainted with the destination’s storied past and vibrant spirit. There are three forts (Fincastle, Montagu and Charlotte) that date back to the 1700s, complete with drawbridges, dungeons and unbeatable views across the harbour, plus the Queen’s Staircase, whose 66 steps were hand chiselled by former enslaved residents and have come to symbolise Bahamians’ enduring character. Of course, no visit would be


complete without sampling the Bahamas’ favourite tipple: rum. The spirit is best enjoyed at the John Watlings Distillery, which is named after the 17th-century pirate who founded it and offers free tours every day.
