Bahamas
Flamboyant. Vivid. Peaceful. The bucket-list Bahamas stimulate every sense.
Pristine beaches, film-set caves and secret coves. Wide shallows where flamingos and dolphins mingle with swimmers. National parks ringing with rare, exotic birdsong. Folklore of rum smuggling and pirate adventures. World-class golf courses and the exotic music and food of Junkanoo Carnival. The Bahamas is a vast and varied archipelago of 700 islands and 2400 cays of unparalleled natural beauty.
